Lake Como’s Most Beautiful Villas
For Two Thousand Years, Lake Como in Northern Italy, Has Been Described as One of the Most Beautiful and Romantic Places in the World.
Lake Como’s Shoreline is Comprised of Antique Villages and Stunning Historic Villas, Some Are World Famous and Some Not So Well-known but No Less Stunning, These Villas Are a Wonderful Opportunity to Go Back in Time and Experience the Life of the Wealthy European and Noble Families Who Lived There, the Famed Novelists Who Wrote, the Composers Who Created, the Artists Who Painted, and the People Who Fell in Love, All Inspired by the Charm of This Special Italian Paradise.
The Legendary Villas of Lake Como:
Villa D'este, Timeless Beauty Lives Here
For Centuries a Residence of the Aristocracy – Princesses, Marquises, Sultans and Tsars. And Since 1873, an Elegant and Charming Five-star Resort; One of the Most Celebrated in the World.
One of Italy's Iconic Properties, Villa D'este Occupies a Superb Renaissance Architecture and an Enviable Spot on Lake Como, Amid 25 Acres of Luxuriously Landscaped Park.
This Renaissance Era Palace on the Shores of Lake Como, is a Portal to Another World, Built in the 16th Century by Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio in 1568 as His Own Residence.
The Impressive Appearance of Villa D’este, Which is Characterized by the Traditional U-shape, Keeps Many Traces of Its Renaissance Splendor.
However, Both the Villa and the Surrounding Park Have Been Changed Substantially Compared to the Original Construction.
Today the Villa Stands as One of Italy's Most Luxurious Hotels.
One of a Kind Historic Villa in Laglio, Como Italy
This 27,000 Square Foot Home Nestles Up Against the Lakeshore of Lake Como Providing Unobstructed Views of the Water and Mountains.
A 35,000 Square Foot, Multi-tiered Italian Garden, Complete With Balustrades and Well-manicured Hedging, Surrounds the Villa. Towering Trees and Creeping Create a Sense of Drama. And the Patios Dotted Throughout the Landscape Make for Perfect Spots to Dine Al Fresco.
This Four-level Home Boasts Seven Bedrooms and 17 Bathrooms.
A Plethora of Arched Windows Allow for Magnificent Views From Nearly Every Room.
Much of the Design is a Crisp White Accented With Elegant, Gilded Ornamentations on the Wainscoting and Crown Mouldings.
But the Focal Point of the Interior is Surely the Graceful Staircase That Sweeps Up to Each Level.
Villa Passalacqua
Steeped in Architectural and Cultural History, the Villa Passalacqua is a National Italian Monument.
Standing Proudly Atop the Village of Moltrasio and Extending All the Way Down to the Lake’s Shore, This Exquisite Villa Dates Back to the 18th Century and Has Played Host to Some of the World’s Most Brilliant Minds in Art, Music, Literature, and Politics, Including Napoleon Bonaparte, Vincenzo Bellini and Winston Churchill.
Featuring Beautiful Frescoes Painted by Famous Neoclassical Artist Andrea Appiani.
Rich in Culture and Natural Beauty, This Luxurious Villa Shines With the Resplendence of Old-world Charm and Sings With the Legacy of the Artists Who Once Walked Its Hallowed Halls.
Villa Balbiano
Situated on the Western Shore of Lake Como, Just Outside the Town of Lenno, Villa Balbiano is an Awe-inspiring Italian Jewel, an Exceptional Historical Palazzo That Once Belonged to the Famous Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio, Who Built It at the End of 16th Century and Used It as His Main Residence.
Nowadays, Villa Balbiano is the Largest Private Residence on the Lake, With Extensive Sumptuous Garden, Which Was Distinguished by the British Society of Garden Designers, Outdoor Swimming Pool, a Private Pier and a Boathouse.
Inside, Its Historic Interiors Have Been Filled With Finest Art Pieces and Furniture of Past Centuries, Sourced From Sotheby’s and Christie’s.
Spectacular 17th Century Frescoes Painted by the Recchi Brothers and Agostino Silva Still Decorate the Walls, Untouched by Time.
With Its Illustrious Past, an Unparalleled Mix of Man-made and Natural Beauty, Villa Balbiano Adds Its Own Distinctive Character to the Serene, Timeless Beauty of Lake Como.

I love Italy and I long for it to recover soon and it will.
very sad whats going on there, pray for ITALY and the world
Jeff Webb your timely comment was duly noted 🥳
It’s one of those places everyone must visit sometime in his Life!!
But not too soon
Italy is the most beautiful country in the world for me. Stand strong Italians. You will carry on making your country eternal.
@bill tev
media hysteria
True! its a pity what happened to them, I was gutted by the whole thing.
7 bedrooms, 17 bathrooms.
@R3furbish3dBrain 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣I’m weak
They sure poop a lot on the lake 😂
Maybe he meant suit by bedroom.
walej that’s a mistake. It’s not 17 bathrooms, and it’s more than seven bedrooms!
Is this same place where james bond reveals his password to vesper in casino royale?
That is Villa d’Este. Villa Balbianello instead they played the final scene of star wars. Both in lake Como anyway
YESS
Reminds me of the psychiatric hospital from the Leonardo DiCaprio’s movie
This is where Gwen Stefani’s Music Video for “Cool” was shot! Beautiful Place!!
The thumbnail reminds me of Casino Royale’s ending scene where 007 shoots Mr. White in the leg. Too bad lake Como has been effectively cut off from the rest of Italy thanks to the Coronavirus pandemic
I’m gonna bring my crush here someday
Rather arrange it for parents.
Austin bru if she doesn’t marry you thereafter then she’d be the most cruel woman alive,not after showing her such beauty…Good Luck.👍🏿✌🏿🇿🇦
Our Thoughts are with you at this awfull time Hope to see you soon when all this is over
OMG the normal Flu kills over 500,000 people each year and the corona virus has killed less than 5k, get a grip.
This place is breathless and blessed with ineffable beauty.
youp and boring AF there is Portofino 2 hrs away and is much more beautiful, welcoming, on a cristal blue sea instead of a smelly lake, moreover the locals aren’t very welcoming
@rgrndu lol, I prefer Monaco, it’s more vibrant.
DASHYDASH EYESPOKE TY. I learned a new word today: ineffable.
Lake Como became very famous in Russia after the investigation was posted on YouTube on one of russian state propagandists, who became Italian “resident” after purchasing one of these “luxurious” villas on that lake. The scandalous part is that the propagandist portraying himself as very anti-European and so patriotic about Russia and loyal Putinist on russian state tv channel, while in fact living in that “awful” European place.
So god knows who what kinda of cannibals lives in those houses.
@YPO6 his name is Vladimir Solovyov, see article in english
https://belsat.eu/en/news/russian-propagandist-solovyov-notorious-for-demonizing-west-buys-como-lake-villas/
or investigation itself (it has english subtitles):
https://youtu.be/9MHqpyN6iAk?t=495
It’s turned out he has two villas there, so they made second video on it :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8YyAu9BBL0
He works on main state tv channel broadcasting almost everyday in prime time all the hate towards west while glorifying Putin’s politics. It’s like Orwellian 5 minutes of hate, just an hour or more long. he also does programs on the radio.
This association of Luxembourgish and German mobsters called the European Union, is the association that puts unjust sanctions on your people, on the great Russian people, so loved by us Italians, we individual European peoples love our Russian brothers, who have our own blood , while the European institution hates you and puts sanctions on you … this should be enough to make you understand. But maybe you’re an African
you are really a stupid communist …. Italy is full of Russians who come on vacation and live here too, Putin is a great lover of Italy, loving the union, loving France, loving the individual states does not mean pleasure loving an artificial thing like political Europe that does not exist in fact as we are very different peoples, I Italians are different from a German and a Russian, Europe has only served Soros and your Freemason friends to get rid of Africans and Nigerian drug dealers. You are not Russian to me but you will be a ridiculous Ukrainian caregiver
sei davvero una stupida comunista …. L’Italia è piena di russi che venfgono in vacanza e abitano anche qui, Putin è un grande amante dell’italia, amare l’unione, amare la francia, amare i singoli stati non vuol dore amare una cosa artificiale come l’europa politica che di fatto non esiste in quanto siamo popoli molto diversi, io italiano sono diversi da un tedesco e da un russo, l’europa è solo servita a Soros e ai tuoi amici massoni a rimpirci di africani e spacciatori nigeriani. Tu per me non sei russa ma sarai una ridicola badante ucraina
Stunning Beauty!
So beautiful! ❤ I would love to live there. 😊
27k sqft..wow! I wouldn’t know what to do with it. I’d have to turn it into a real estate investment because unless I invite my closest relatives and friends to live with me, that would be a lot of wasted space!
Just added these to my bucket list. That last Villa looked like it had flagstones for roofing. On to part 3.
Don’t leave ur hometown.❎..for any cost..🌺
Breathtaking such. Beauty
WOW !! Beautiful and amazing places !
Beautiful architecture love it❤❤❤
