A beautiful blend of traditional and modern design with panoramic lake views

Villa Moltrasina is a stunning luxury villa perched on the western shores of Lake Como, in the charming village of Moltrasio. Comprising a traditional villa and a contemporary guest house surrounded by lush botanical gardens, the property offers the perfect base for a luxurious lakeside escape for up to 12 guests.

The villa’s elevated perspective offers spectacular views that capture the dramatic contrast between the deep blue waters of the lake and the lush, steeply rising mountains of Lombardy. A 12-metre heated pool is the centrepiece of the outdoor space. Lined with sun loungers and surrounded by lush lawns, the pool offers the perfect place for relaxation.

Various outdoor lounge settings offer the option to soak up the sun or chill out in the shade, all while taking in the panoramic lake views. For atmospheric al fresco dining, a beautiful stone table sits beneath a vine-covered pergola, surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens.

Originally a classic stone residence, the villa was artfully reimaged by Como-based architect Alessandra Guanziroli. Though it retains its authentic character, the property is now a seamless blend of heritage and contemporary design, where traditional masonry meets floor-to-ceiling glass and high-end finishes.

Two distinct structures make up the estate: the main villa and an ultra-modern independent “casetta”. Within the main villa, timber ceiling beams and sleek, tiled floors are elegantly paired with contemporary furniture, statement lighting, and carefully chosen artworks. The heart of the home is the spacious lounge room with charming stone walls, a crackling fireplace, and French doors that open onto the garden. A separate dining room with a chic wooden table is perfect for enjoying convivial meals with loved ones.

The main villa spans three levels, including an attic family suite with its own lounge and double and twin bedrooms. The remaining three bedrooms are located on the first floor, all with en-suite facilities, and two of which boast lake-view balconies.

The two-bedroom casetta is a modern addition to the property. It features floor-to-ceiling windows designed to capture stunning lake views and keep interior spaces bathed in natural light. Its two bedrooms feature en-suite facilities and private, lake-view balconies. On its ground floor, a light-filled fitness room offers a workout with a view.

With its blend of historic charm and modern design features, its spacious grounds, and panoramic views of Lake Como, Villa Moltrasina represents the pinnacle of Italian lakeside living.

About the area

Villa Moltrasio is situated in the picturesque village of Moltrasio on the western shore of Lake Como. Built into the steep hillside, Moltrasio is a vertical marvel of stone stairways and hidden natural wonders. The Scala Santa (Holy Staircase) connects the harbour to the historic upper quarters, while the Pizzallo waterfall cascades through the heart of the village.

For those looking to explore on foot, the Sentee di Sort hiking trail offers panoramic lake views as it winds toward Cernobbio, passing the historic stone quarries that define the region’s heritage.

Guests explore nearby Cernobbio, Torno, and Blevio by boat or car, or venture further to Lake Como’s “Golden Triangle” to experience the iconic shores of Bellagio, Varenna, and Menaggio.

The villa’s prime location offers easy access to Lake Como’s most exclusive social scenes, including the renowned hotels and restaurants, such as Villa d’Este, Passalacqua, Il Sereno, and Mandarin Oriental.
