800 sq. m villa on Lake Como, fully renovated. 800 sq. m villa on Lake Como, fully renovated with lake view. In one of the most beautiful valleys of the province of Como, this villa for sale spans 800 sq. m and is set in a 3000 sq. m park. The villa is located on the border of Argegno, in the Intelvi Valley, which connects Lake Como with Lake Lugano in Switzerland. It was built in 1766 by an aristocratic Austrian family and was named after the owner, Countess Gina, who later became the protagonist of Stendhal's novel 'The Monastery of Parma.' At the end of the 19th century, the villa came into the possession of the family of the famous Italian artist Baldassare Longoni; his paintings are preserved in the villa, and the main street of the ancient town of Dizzasco, where the villa is located, is named in his honor. In 2011, Villa Gina was completely restored, with original stuccos and ceilings reconstructed, and the floors replaced with handmade tiles and rare types of marble that no longer exist. Now, the walls are adorned with frescoes in the ancient Italian graffiti technique, commissioned from a renowned master who is typically engaged exclusively in the restoration of architectural monuments. The hall and the small living room are decorated with handmade wallpaper, the original stamps of which are now protected by UNESCO and date back to the early 17th century. The fireplace room and all the bedrooms are decorated with natural silk panels produced by the finest family manufactories on Lake Como. The 18th-century MURANO chandelier, which once adorned the Chinese Embassy in Paris (a unique piece, the only one of its kind in the world), now graces Villa Gina with its brilliance. The 800 sq. m villa is situated in a tranquil location in the Intelvi Valley, surrounded by a garden that blooms in every season, featuring rare ancient trees and offering breathtaking views of Lake Como. The villa comprises nine spacious rooms with wall-sized windows, each providing a unique view of the lake and mountains. On the ground floor, there is a spacious terrace with views of Lake Como, a large entrance hall, a living room with a fireplace, a dining room, a kitchen with a fireplace, and a bathroom. On the second and third floors, there are 3 bedrooms and bathrooms. The spacious kitchen, featuring an antique fireplace, is equipped with all modern amenities. The current owners are passionate about Italian art, which is reflected in every detail of the villa, rich with authentic art objects: paintings by Italian artists, silk tapestries, antique furniture bearing the coats of arms of Italy's oldest families, and Murano glass chandeliers of various shapes and sizes illuminate every corner of this historically rich villa, creating a sense of luxury and allowing you to escape from everyday life and feel transported to the 18th century. Villa Gina is surrounded by a lush garden featuring two ancient fountains and rare well-preserved sculptures dating back to the 18th century.
