A Neoclassical Retreat on the Shores of Lake Como | Villa in Tremezzo

4 Bedroom Villa in Azzano, Tremezzo
This exquisite guesthouse, gracefully perched on the shores of Lake Como, is part of a prestigious villa once owned by the noble Litta Modignani family. Built in the first half of the 19th century, the villa stands as a splendid example of neoclassical architecture, designed by the renowned Milanese architect Luigi Tatti. The guesthouse inherits this legacy of elegance and harmony, nestled within a private garden that cascades toward the water’s edge, offering uninterrupted views of the lake and surrounding landscape. A sense of timelessness permeates the property, where the past has been carefully preserved and delicately interwoven with the present.
The entire guesthouse has recently undergone a thoughtful and respectful restoration under the direction of architect Cristiana Vannini, who is known for her ability to blend historical charm with modern sensibility. Her meticulous work ensured the conservation of the guesthouse’s original features—its refined proportions, period detailing, and serene atmosphere—while seamlessly introducing contemporary comforts to meet the needs of today’s discerning traveler. From the façade to the interiors, each element reflects a deep appreciation for heritage and authenticity, all while embracing tasteful innovation.
The guesthouse accommodates guests across four individually styled rooms, each furnished with two single beds. Every room is adorned with antique furniture and original paintings, curated to evoke a sense of elegance and quiet refinement. Large windows frame captivating views of the lake and garden, filling the spaces with natural light and a continuous connection to the serene outdoors. Each room is equipped with a private en-suite bathroom featuring a shower and toilet, as well as independent heating and air conditioning systems to ensure comfort in every season. The ambience throughout is one of tranquil sophistication, ideal for travelers seeking peace, beauty, and a deep sense of place.
The ground floor of the guesthouse is designed as a communal living space where guests can come together and share in the simple joys of lake life. A fully equipped kitchen provides the opportunity for guests to prepare meals using fresh local ingredients, while the adjacent dining room invites long, convivial gatherings with friends and family. The living room offers a warm and relaxing environment, complete with period furnishings, soft lighting, and views onto the garden. An additional guest bathroom is also available on this level for convenience. Whether enjoying breakfast in the morning sun or unwinding with a glass of wine at dusk, the shared spaces create a seamless extension of the guesthouse’s welcoming charm.
