Main Features

Description

La Filanda, a former silk factory directly on Lake Como, is a unique property. It is located in Brienno, a small village on Lake Como with Celtic origins.

La Filanda has an interesting history and a special charm. The oldest parts of the property date back to the end of the 17th century and are shown on maps from 1720. The current building was built between 1847 and 1860. La Filanda produced silk threads from 1860 to 1932. From the private jetty the goods used to be loaded on large sailing boats called Comballi, and from there they were transported to the port of Como. In the 1960s was transformed into a tasteful and exclusive villa by the Mantero family, a dynasty owning one of the most important silk companies in the world.

The 1st floor of the main villa of approx. 800 sqm features an impressive loft, of approx. 200 sqm, ideal for exhibitions, events, dinners and parties. It has large windows offering a lovely lake view and 6-9 m high ceilings. The ground floor hosts a large apartment with character, composed of several reception rooms, dining room, kitchen with breakfast area, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and utility rooms. The building has access to a private garden with swimming pool, a long lakeside stone loggia and private jetty.

Adjacent to the main villa and connected to it by internal and external staircases and a large, modern elevator, is a 19th century residential building with balconies facing the picturesque small pier of the village. The building of approx. 800 sqm has recently been refurbished and divided into 10 independent units with all modern facilities and generates income through short-term rentals.

A unique property on the western shore of one of the most beautiful and famous places in the world: Lake Como. Lake Como is a favourite destination of European and Italian nobility, who since 1500 has embellished its shores with elegant villas, lush gardens and parks. The presence of grand luxury hotels has attracted great personalities on the lake.Its allure has captivated figures from the realms of culture, art, and music. Additionally, Lake Como's constant media attention worldwide owes partly to the presence of Hollywood actors (La Filanda is less than two kilometers from George Clooney’s property), maintaining its prominent place in global media and magazines.
