5 bedrooms semi-detached house, 240 m²

Tremezzina, Como (province)

Lake Como

In the heart of Tremezzo, where traces of the past weave into the landscape, a portion of the old silk mill has come back to life as a private residence, thanks to a complete, thoughtful, and measured restoration that has preserved original spirit of sericulture building in Viano, transforming it into a refined dwelling. Here, the charm of memory engages with contemporary comfort, in a harmonious balance of light, views, and carefully selected materials. Spread across four levels, the house unfolds in fluid yet well-defined spaces, able to welcome without ever sacrificing a sense of calm, and is elegantly furnished and thoughtfully equipped, enabling immediate living. On the ground floor, the living area - with a kitchen and dining room enhanced by a scenographic mural signed by a renowned local artist - opens naturally onto the outdoors, where a private, well-tended garden, though compact in size, offers wide, uninterrupted views over Lake Como, with vistas that shift with the passing hours and changing seasons. It is here that the simplest and most genuine aspect of hospitality takes shape: breakfast outdoors, reading in the sun, an evening return among soft lights and delicate air. On the first and second floors, four en suite bedrooms, each with its own character, offer contemporary comfort in settings defined by authentic, understated simplicity - born of a careful balance between restraint and well-being. At the top level, the owners’ quarters form a private and luminous retreat, with a kitchen/living room, bedroom, and bathroom: an independent space designed for those who live in and care for the house, ensuring presence, continuity, and a discreet welcome. This year, the residence has embraced a new vocation as a B&B - an intentional, thoughtful form of hospitality, chosen by travellers seeking not just accommodation, but a meaningful, personal experience. Every detail has been conceived to offer an intimate, sincere stay: curated furnishings, warm atmospheres, balanced proportions, and light-filled openings. Though recently established, the hosting activity already displays a mature identity. The setting, the layout of the house, and above all, the view of the lake - present in every season - contribute to a distinctive residential offering. Today a welcoming space, the home could easily return to being a private residence: the quality of the restoration and the versatility of the structure make either option equally coherent. The house’s architecture speaks to history while listening to the present. It belongs to the place in which it stands, balanced between memory, landscape, and a contemporary sensibility. In a context where original identity is increasingly rare, this home becomes a place where living, or simply staying, means inhabiting beauty in its most honest and enduring form, embracing the passage of time without haste, as do homes that are built to last. Among the most captivating areas of Lake Como, Tremezzina holds a privileged position for its history, landscape, and lifestyle. A harmonious succession of small villages on the water, historic villas, manicured gardens, and open views over the mountains makes this territory one of the most desirable in both Italy and abroad. Tremezzo, in particular, is the refined heart of the area: a lively hub appreciated by an international clientele, where elegance is clearly visible in the widespread quality of every space. Every aspect of the landscape, whether natural or architectural, finds its place within a coherent and balanced whole. This is not just a picturesque environment, but a unique residential context, where well-being and quality of life blend seamlessly. Tremezzo is not a place to be rushed through, but one to be inhabited slowly: walked, explored by boat, or simply contemplated. It has preserved the gift of authenticity, a value seldom found nowadays in world-renowned tourist destinations. This consistency - between landscape, heritage, and quality of life - makes Tremezzo not only an ideal place to live, but also a strategic investment location. Each season offers a different way to enjoy it: summer is lively, with water sports, excursions, and open-air evenings; spring and autumn invite slow exploration of trails through Romanesque churches and olive groves; winter brings tranquility, tempered by the mild climate of the lake’s western shore. This seasonal rhythm helps sustain a steady flow of tourism - essential for those acquiring property with income potential. Short-term rentals, well regulated, yield excellent returns, particularly for lake-view properties or those within historic settings. Small-scale, family-run accommodations, genuine experiences, and growing attention to sustainability attract a loyal, discerning audience willing to invest in quality stays.
