Lake Como – Liberty Villa with Garden in Brunate

Lake Como – Liberty Villa with Garden in Brunate

In the renowned village of Brunate, overlooking Lake Como and just a short walk from the historic funicular connecting the hilltop village to the lakefront in Como, BHHS Palazzo Estate is pleased to present for sale an elegant late-19th-century Liberty-style villa. The residence represents a refined example of the residential architecture that characterized the golden era of lakeside retreats and summer residences along Lake Como. Its elevated position allows the surrounding landscape to be experienced in a luminous and open setting, harmoniously integrated with the natural environment.

The property is set within a level garden of approximately 1,000 sqm (10,764 sq.ft.), enhanced by mature trees, flowering beds, and areas designed for relaxation and quiet outdoor living. A romantic gazebo and several panoramic terraces frame captivating views across Lake Como, the historic city center of Como, and the Alpine arc, where the silhouette of Monte Rosa emerges on clear days.

The villa extends over three principal levels in addition to a semi-basement floor, offering a total surface of approximately 300 sqm (3,229 sq.ft.). A renovation completed approximately ten years ago carefully preserved the historic character of the residence while enhancing its original architectural details, including decorative plaster ceilings, a marble staircase, period wall ornamentation, and several original doors and window frames.

The ground floor features a living room overlooking the garden, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bathroom. The first floor, accessed via the elegant marble staircase, comprises three bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom and private balcony, offering open views toward the lake and the surrounding mountains.

On the top level, within the characteristic tower, an independent apartment has been created, consisting of a living room, kitchenette, one bedroom, and a bathroom. From this level there is access to a private terrace providing expansive views across Lake Como and the Alpine landscape. The property also includes four private parking spaces.

Brunate, situated at approximately 715 meters above sea level above the city of Como, has been known since the nineteenth century as a destination for summer retreats and scenic contemplation. The village is connected to the city through the famous funicular railway, allowing access to the lakefront and the historic center of Como in approximately seven minutes. Within the village there are restaurants, cafés, and local services, while the numerous trails crossing the surrounding woods and ridgelines provide excellent opportunities for panoramic walks, hiking, and mountain biking.

From the village’s scenic viewpoints, including the Voltiano Lighthouse and the panoramic terraces along the hillside paths, the panorama embraces Lake Como, the Lombardy plain, and the entire Alpine arc, including Monte Rosa.

The center of Como is approximately 10 minutes away, while Milan can be reached in approximately 60 minutes. The international airports of Milan Malpensa and Milan Linate are located approximately 60–70 minutes away, while the Swiss city of Lugano, with its regional airport and financial center, can be reached in approximately 45 minutes. Alpine destinations renowned for winter sports, including St. Moritz, Bormio, Livigno, and Madesimo, are approximately 2–3 hours away.
