Villa Matilde, also known as Il Castello, is an exceptional villa from 1880, featuring a charming 1,300 m² garden adorned with a replica of the Charterhouse of Pavia fountain, terracotta borders, a wrought-iron fountain crown, and other romantic details.

 

The villa is divided into 5 apartments accessible by an elevator or stairs and can serve as your future private family residence or a great investment opportunity for tourist rentals. All living rooms, bedrooms, and terraces offer splendid views of Lake Como, Torno, and the mountains.

 

On the prestigious floor lies the main apartment covering approximately 230 sqm. It boasts an impressive and spacious entrance hall with an elegant teakwood staircase and stained-glass windows. The kitchen/dining room features a 16th-century stone fireplace, whose twin is kept at the Poldi Pezzoli Museum in Milan. The living room showcases a valuable 17th-century fireplace crafted from ancient Sienese stone. The three first-floor bedrooms have rosewood inlaid floors, lacunar ceilings, and covered balconies overlooking the lake. The two bathrooms were renovated in 2009 with designer sanitary fixtures, marble cladding, and wooden floors.

 

The second-floor and attic apartment spans approximately 105 sqm, offering a living room with ceiling frescoes and wooden parquet floors, a kitchen with a breakfast area and large windows, a double bedroom, a single bedroom, two bathrooms, a laundry room, and a 30 sqm south-facing terrace with stunning lake views. This apartment was renovated in 2009.

 

The two smaller apartments of approximately 43 and 52 sqm were renovated in 2015, comprising a living room with a kitchenette, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a balcony or terrace. The fifth apartment, renovated in 2015, features a living room with a fireplace, a kitchen with a breakfast area and terrace, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms.

 

Common areas include a new swimming pool with a terrace and sunbathing area, a breakfast room, an atrium, a utility room, and cellar spaces. Additionally, there is a studio apartment in need of renovation, a large garage, and an uncovered parking area for 4 cars.
