Dizzasco, Como (province)

Villa Gina is a historic residence built in the first half of the 18th century by an Austrian noble family. Over the years, its elegant rooms and refined salons have welcomed illustrious guests, including a princess from the Austrian royal family. The property, which underwent a complete renovation starting in 2011, has been carefully restored to preserve its original identity. The current owners, who are passionate about Italian history, have taken care of every design choice with consistency and moderation, relying on expert craftsmen and favouring high-quality materials. Silk tapestries, handcrafted finishes and period details confirm the attention paid to the restoration. The villa also preserves authentic works of art, including Italian paintings, silk tapestries, period furniture and Murano glass chandeliers - a tribute to the art, culture and timeless elegance of the great Italian tradition. The main entrance opens onto a refined atrium leading to a large and harmonious living room overlooking a spacious terrace facing the lake. On the same level, a second living room opens onto another terrace overlooking the nature of the garden. The custom-built kitchen features a working central fireplace and incorporates contemporary elements in harmony with the historic structure. An elegant staircase leads to the upper floors, where there are three bedrooms, two bathrooms and several private sitting rooms, flanked by a veranda with large windows and a spacious terrace with stunning views of the lake and mountains. Each room is distinguished by its brightness, spaciousness and sumptuous elegance. The basement houses the technical rooms, a generously sized cellar, service rooms, as well as a greenhouse and a portico overlooking the garden. Outside, the villa is surrounded by a well-kept park, rich in centuries-old trees and large areas of nature, which guarantees privacy and enhances the dialogue with the surrounding landscape. Villa Gina is a rare example of a historic residence restored with sensitivity and expertise, ideal for those looking for an exclusive residence in a valuable setting. Dizzasco is a small village in the Intelvi Valley, nestled in a peaceful location between Lake Como and the Swiss border. It is a short distance from Argegno, the closest point of contact with Lake Como, and in no time at all you can go from wooded scenery to the lake shore, with its harmonious lines, boats sailing on the water, scenic roads and a rich and engaging cultural calendar. The connection is simple and continuous, useful both for those who commute every day and for those looking for a base away from the hustle and bustle of tourism. But it is not only Lake Como that is within easy reach. Heading west, you can also reach Lake Lugano in a short time. The road that crosses the Upper Intelvi Valley leads across the border, allowing you to reach the Ticino towns overlooking Lake Lugano in less than half an hour. In this sense, Dizzasco is located in an intermediate position that allows you to move easily between the Italian and Swiss sides without long or complicated journeys. The village retains its authentic character, with stone houses, discreet alleys and a balanced relationship with its surroundings. Here, human presence blends into the landscape without excess, and the pace is that of a village that has retained its own rhythm: unhurried and quiet. The surrounding landscape is varied but orderly, consisting of lush woods, well-tended terraces and green valleys. There is no monumentality, but a widespread coherence, visible both in the architecture and in the open spaces. Dizzasco therefore offers discreet residential living, well positioned in relation to the main points of interest in the area. It is a place that can be discovered naturally, offering balance, proximity and the cosy atmosphere of a hilly setting.
