The U.S. Sun has seen all three properties and confirms that they are all spectacular. The first one, priced at $3.2 million, is a 5,381-square-foot, four-bedroom, four-bath home with stunning views of the lake and neighboring locations. The “unique independent period villa is in a dominant position with a splendid lake view,” as described by the realtor, was built in 1800 in the village of Bellagio.
“The pedestrian access to the property, with a pleasant internal path, partly with pergola and a base in local stone, is situated in a private park of about 1400 square meters bordering the garden of Villa Serbelloni.” The villa has a rustic ambiance and retains many of its original features, including ornate ceilings and fireplaces to create a “timeless atmosphere inside the property.”
On the bottom floor, Taylor can concentrate on some new compositions in a violin studio and then relax by taking a walk and grabbing something delectable from a wonderful-looking wine cellar carved out of rock. The first floor has three bedrooms, while the second floor has the kitchen and major living areas, as well as access to a luxurious outdoor dining area and even more breathtaking views.
The next appealing option, Villa Croce in Menaggio, is less expensive at $1.7 million, has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and is a larger house at 7,212 square feet. The real estate website, located near the famed Golf Club Menaggio Cadenabbia, invites prospective buyers to “discover a love story at Villa Croce in Menaggio, where every detail whispers tales of timeless elegance and beauty.”
“A hidden gem in Menaggio, one of the most sought-after locations along the shores of Lake Como, where the air is washed with the sweet scent of romance and sophistication.” When guests enter, they are welcomed with a large, open-plan living space “bathed in ethereal natural light streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows, painting every room in a soft, enchanting glow.”
The property is more modern than the initial offering, but there is still plenty of outdoor area to enjoy the spectacular views. “Picture yourself here, savoring a glass of fine Italian wine, feeling the embrace of your very own Italian home as it whispers sweet promises of comfort, elegance, and everlasting memories,” according to the listing description.
