Luxury Villa for sale in Via Corrado Venini, Varenna, Provincia di Lecco, Lombardy

In the enchanting town of Varenna, with a stunning view of Lake Como, lies a splendid villa built in 1899 and renovated by the famous artist and designer Piero Fornasetti. In the 1950s, Fornasetti undertook a profound renovation of the villa, and to this day, some details designed by him make it unique in its kind. The villa is in a commanding position with a forest behind it, completely facing west, with a large tiered garden. The property was expanded and entirely renovated in 2021 and is spread over two residential levels plus an attic, composed of: on the ground floor, a large entrance, living room with fireplace and dining area, large kitchen overlooking the sitting room under the porch, study room, bathroom, and storage room; on the first floor, a master room with bathroom and walk-in closet, two spacious bedrooms, bathroom, and panoramic balcony. A picturesque municipal road, passable with a small car, leads to the villa's entrance, where, upon entry, there is a small guest house/caretaker's residence of about 40 sqm, composed of an entrance, a single room with a terrace, and a bathroom. Also renovated in 2021, it has a panoramic roof terrace with a spectacular view over the entire lake up to the tip of Balbianello. The villa is surrounded by a large park with tall trees, almost two hectares, where it is possible to build a guesthouse. Completing the property is a garage located in town, just a few minutes away. At the foot of a promontory in a strategic position in the middle of Lake Como, Varenna is a splendid fishing village with an ancient history, now famous and known worldwide as one of the most visited and sought-after tourist destinations by celebrities and those seeking a peaceful corner to regenerate an hour from Milan: the perfect location for those who wish to invest and allocate the villa for short-term rentals. Varenna is easily reachable from Milan by car via the SS36 expressway, by train, and by ferry.
