Tavernerio, Lombardy

Reference: RLHP-T2133. This stunning historical estate is for sale in a residential area halfway between Lake Como and Lake Lecco. It is made up of several buildings all connected to each other and measures 5, 000 sqm overall. The entrance has two parallel avenues that lead to two wrought iron gates. The first leads to a small garden with a private chapel, the other gate leads to the "large courtyard" overlooked by part of the villa and part of the structure of the "lower courtyard". The villa has four levels and still preserves valuable coffered ceilings, finely decorated walls and big doors shaped and molded according to the Lombard artisan style of the late 18th century. It houses a spacious living room and an equipped kitchen, and an amazing hall that used to be an industrial room containing two water spinning machines, then transformed into a ballroom. A private sleeping area completes the main house with seven bedrooms and six bathrooms. The one-hectare park was built in the early 1900s by architect G. Roda, who remodeled the meadows and hills and created a magnificent lake. The property's highlight is its wonderful clay tennis court. Ref: 4953
