Pool, Dock And Boat: Discover Villa Matilda By Lake Como

Set on the eastern shore of Lake Como, intimate and elegant, Villa Matilda overlooks the waters of the lake enveloped in an aura of serenity and contemplation. This truly unique villa for sale is the result of a new and very fine renovation and is in impeccable condition. It offers 400 sqm of spacious and extraordinarily bright interior space on two levels. Externally, it is surrounded by a 1,000-sqm garden with an annexe, a newly built private dock including a custom-built boat, and a panoramic swimming pool that seems to float directly over the lake and stretch out to touch the horizon, the infinity.

Lake Como is the favourite destination par excellence for those who love the natural beauty of lake and mountain landscapes and appreciate privacy and discretion. It is no coincidence that the charming historic villas and picturesque villages dotting the shores of the lake attract prominent personalities from all over the world, making it one of Italy's most exclusive locations. This extraordinary waterfront villa for sale, located directly opposite George Clooney's villa, takes full advantage of the tranquillity and privacy of a corner of Lake Como far from the mass tourist routes. Reachable within an hour from Milan, it is perfect for spending relaxing weekends away from the city chaos, surrounded only by friends and family. The property can be accessed either from the main road, where a double garage provides convenient parking, or from the lake, by boat, in a more direct, discreet and decidedly exclusive way.

In 2023, Villa Matilda was completely renovated with the aim of combining beauty and functionality. The interior of the historic building was revolutionised by the architects of studio 13.1 in search of a simple and rational design, devoid of excess, with big windows to make the most of the natural light that caresses the villa at all hours thanks to its privileged exposure.

The original parquet floors in elegant Italian herringbone have been restored, and the intentionally rough and uneven cocciopesto walls have been retained and, in general, high-quality materials and finishes have been used. Custom-made furniture and delicate colours in shades of beige, cream and ivory contribute to creating a refined and cosy atmosphere.

The main body of Villa Matilda is spread over two levels, offering approximately 400 sqm of interior space. On the ground floor, the living area includes an eat-in kitchen in arabesque marble and lacquered wood, a dining room, a bathroom and a big, sophisticated living room where a pair of custom-designed sofas is ready to welcome numerous guests. Here, eight marvellous French windows allow the eye to capture the view outside, losing itself in its timeless beauty. Among the most significant furnishings in the living room is the big bookcase, in which the glass has been replaced with mirrors that reflect the image of the lake, leaving the feeling of being as if immersed in water. From here there is direct access to the underground dock with a service area. 

The first floor houses the sleeping area, consisting of three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom, with an en suite bathroom and a view of Lake Como, is connected to a large room currently used as a walk-in wardrobe with custom-made wardrobes, which could possibly be converted into a fourth bedroom. The spaces are fluid, divided by large transparent doors in wood and glass. Each room is characterised by different colours, offering a unique and personalised environment: neutral tones for the master bedroom, yellow and grey for the second bedroom, and red, burgundy and blue for the third.

All the rooms are characterised by refined, yet simple and light furnishings, with a clear reference to the world of the sea and sailing. The abundant use of mahogany, together with elements of bamboo, rattan and woven raffia, combines harmoniously with the freshness of the linen and cotton fabrics. The furnishings include vintage coffee tables, antique objects collected from various art galleries, Murano glass wall sconces, a rosewood table in 1950s design and old liner lights in the spare bathroom. Each element blends perfectly with the others, creating a harmonious, classy balance. A lift connects the different floors for maximum convenience and accessibility.

A garden of approximately 1,000 sqm surrounds this villa for sale, characterised by meticulous attention to every detail. Here there is a small natural waterfall, a long panoramic terrace, and two equipped relaxation areas, one of which has a big table, ideal for pleasant al fresco dining. The jewel of the property is the large heated infinity pool, where one can enjoy moments of pure relaxation, having the impression of plunging directly into the waters of the lake. The villa also has an annexe created inside a former lemon house, with two bedrooms and a bathroom, ideal for staff. 

The private dock, of modern construction, includes a utility room and a buoy for exclusive use. Also included in the sale is the custom-built boat for the property: an 8-metre wooden speedboat.

This splendid waterfront villa for sale by Lake Como is ideal for those looking for a luxury estate, equipped with every comfort and immersed in a natural environment of rare beauty, where they can spend peaceful and joyful moments with their loved ones. The possibility of exploring nearby towns and attractions further enriches the experience, allowing you to collect unforgettable memories that only such an exclusive place can offer.
