5 bedrooms villa, 380 m²

Griante, Como (province)

Lake Como

Straight from the dream book, a property of immense charm appears: this unique villa was born from the careful renovation of an old Art Nouveau greenhouse built in 1901, with an iron and glass structure, inspired by the model awarded at the Paris Exhibition of 1900.
The renovation of the greenhouse, which lasted from 1985 to 1990, transformed it into a home, with the approval of the Superintendency of Cultural and Artistic Heritage. Due to its uniqueness, the villa is often cited in books and articles on the treasures and beauties of Lake Como.
The villa is surrounded by a wonderful flat private park of almost 10,000 square metres. From each side of the property you can perceive the park and this creates a wonderful sense of continuity between the interior and exterior of the villa, which gives a sense of absolute tranquility.
The villa is on a single level: the entrance leads into a finely furnished atrium, over 8 meters high and with an extremely scenographic trompe-l'œil, perfect for the environment. From here you access the other areas of the villa: the living room, the dining room, the billiard room with hallway and bathroom. A vaulted corridor leads to the kitchen and four bedrooms. Two master bedrooms share a large bathroom with shower and tub, while two bedrooms with two en-suite bathrooms are ideal for guests.
The furniture, and everything found in the property, has been carefully chosen and selected over the years by the owners who drew inspiration from the best shops and antique dealers.
In the basement there are the cellar and the technical room.
Near the villa there are four parking spaces, two of which are covered with an iron and glass structure, which integrates perfectly with the style of the villa.
In the private park there is a fountain of fine workmanship with a period vase in the center and a bronze crocodile. The theme is resumed in the garden next to the fountain with a series of seven period vases on capitals.
This enchanting property is part of the larger compendium of the prestigious Villa Maria, of which it shares the park of over 3 hectares, the swimming pool, the tennis court and the bowling green.
The town of Griante, with its discreet charm, is a true pearl on Lake Como. Over the years, the beauty of the places has enchanted illustrious people who have stayed there at different times.

DMM real estate - A family business - 40 years of experience in real estate.
My name is Deborah Muzzu Martis, I was born in Como and I spent most of my life in Menaggio, on Lake Como, where I also live today. My father Giuseppe was the first professional real estate agent of the area. 15 years ago, motivated by the passion in this field, I decided to take advantage of his experience and started to follow his steps and became a certified real estate agent as well. I think it is important to establish a good relationship with my clients, to better understand their needs and what kind of property they are looking for. As I grew up in this area, I know my territory well, the climate, the facilities and I can be of great help in proposing the right property.
I believe my task is to make a selection among the properties offered and to present what matches better the client's requirements and what I think is valuable and of quality.
