With a fascinating history spanning generations of a Milanese family, this villa represents a unique opportunity for those seeking an oasis of beauty and comfort on the shores of the picturesque Lake Como.
Imagine being transported back in time to the dark days of World War II, when the Fossati family from Milan, seeking refuge from the storms of war, found shelter right here, in Civenna, on the tranquil and reassuring shores of Lake Como. Enchanted by the breathtaking beauty of the place and its aura of tranquility, the Fossatis decided to turn this temporary refuge into a lasting tradition, spending their weekends and holidays here throughout the 1950s.
It was during one of these moments of relaxation, amidst laughter and chatter with local friends, that the story of this villa came to life. Sitting in a cozy local bar, someone hurried to inform Mr. Fossati about the availability of the most fascinating and enviable plot of land by the lake.
