Overview

Situated between Il Dosso di Lavedo and the Comacine Island, Villa Il Tesoro di Como is one of the most important historical palaces on the shores of Lake Como. The history of Villa Il Tesoro di Como can be traced back to mid 16th century and is strongly linked to the noble Giovio family who used it as their residence.

Accommodation

At the end of 16th century, the villa was sold to Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio, who redesigned the original palazzo after the drawings of Pellegrino Tibaldi. A century later, in 1787, Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini, politician and patron of the arts, acquired the Villa. Enlarged and embellished, the Villa was used to host a gallant and frivolous society where festivals, banquets and dances followed one by another relentlessly.

Villa Il Tesoro di Como has recently been renovated by the famous French designer Jacques Garcia.

Occupying over 2ha, it remains one of largest properties around Lake Como. Villa also boasts the important historical details such as spectacular 17th century frescoes by the Recchi Brothers and Agostino Silva.

The main entrance on the ground floor opens into the magnificent main lobby with frescoes and spiral columns framing the arms of Galio and representing the four busts of Strabo, Virgil, Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger. Antique pieces, luxuriously upholstered seating, ornate gilt-edged mirrors and crystal chandeliers furnish the sitting rooms, library and dining area creating exquisite surroundings in which to relax, socialise and dine. Doors open onto the "Winter Garden" terrace overlooking the lake and giving access to the gardens and there is a covered outdoor dining terrace with fireplace. The large, fully-equipped kitchen is also on this level.

On the first floor, the lake view gallery leads to the studio, the master suite and the guest suite surrounds the Cathedral ceiling Central Salon. A further marble staircase leads to the second floor accommodations, comprising four luxurious bedrooms ensuite with their marble bathrooms, overlooking the Cathedral ceiling Central Salon. All the rooms are beautifully furnished with antiques. If further accommodation is required there is an independent Villino for eight guests.

Villa Il Tesoro di Como is also an ideal venue for any kind of events, weddings and seminars.
