Situated in arguably one of the finest villas on Lake Como, this ground floor partially-furnished retreat provides a truly exclusive setting for a central lake getaway, or for an elegant year-round base. Internally, the 100m2 apartment features ambient terracotta flooring and original arched ceiling, which has been whitewashed for a tranquil, bright appeal. The spacious open plan living room is ideal for entertaining, with a kitchen to hand and direct access leading outside to the retreat's very own 150m2 landscaped garden with terrace. The layout of the retreat further comprises 1 spacious master bedroom and 2 bathrooms. Private parking also features. The elegant period villa nestles in an elevated setting that is set back amongst breathtakingly beautiful lake view grounds. With its striking mature trees and verdant sweeping lawn, the manicured grounds provide a serene and highly-desirable haven; from both sides of the gates! The villa's location along the main via Statale Regina places it within a stone's throw of the public lake beach and San Martino climb in Griante, as well as from the array of authentic restaurants and cafes in Tremezzina. Neighbouring Cadenabbia is home to a string of hotels, a popular modernised lake Lido and its ferry port; which operates frequent car and passenger crossings to Varenna, Bellagio, Menaggio and Como city. Its desirable central lake location along the western shore also places the villa within easy reach of Villa Carlotta, Villa Balbianello and the pretty resort well-serviced town of Menaggio, just further along the shore. A plethora of leisure activities can be enjoyed within the surrounding area, including water sports, boat rental, hiking, cycling, tennis, golf, extreme sports and even Italian Alp skiing. The villa is situated an equal distance away from the vibrant cities of Como and Lugano (both 44 minutes drive away) and is situated 78 minutes drive from fashionable Milan.
