Villa Mosaico is perfectly located, in the heart of the Lake Como district, close to many of the lake towns. The villa is roughly 45 minutes from Malpensa airport (Milan) or Agno in Lugano. The property also enjoys a wonderful guest villa, which can sleep an additional 11 guests (Villa Pesca).
Villa Mosaico is one of Italy’s national monuments. It was built in the 1700’s by a famous Count who was granted the property by a Northern Papal family. Many famous residents have passed through including some of Italy’s most renowned opera writers.
The Swiss architect, Felice Soave, designed the house to have a simple symmetrical façade with a richly elaborate interior. The ceilings on the public rooms as well as in the bedrooms are ornately decorated and painted. The floors are a beautiful mixture of Cotto from Lombardy, Seminato, and dark antique wood. The villa is filled with beautiful paintings, sculptures, rugs, tapestries, and Venetian chandeliers.
There are eight master bedrooms in the villa, all unique and beautiful. They all boast high and carved ceilings, antique floors, and spectacular bathrooms. The rooms are filled with antique furniture, Persian rugs, Venetian chandeliers, and beautiful art. Some of the bathrooms have Philippe Starck designed wash basins, bathtubs, and showers, while others have large, antique French and English bathtubs and ornate wash basins.
There are two beautiful pianos in the villa. One is a perfectly restored antique Bluethner that once sat in the Leipzig Concert Hall. It rests in the Music Room, which is a spectacular room with 30-foot high ceilings, Albertolli frescoes, and stunning views of the lake. The second piano is a player piano that plays jazz, modern, and classical music on its own.
Villa Mosaico is child friendly. A wonderful outdoor play area with a beautiful wooden slide, swing set, and rope climb sit in the back garden next to the kitchen. There is also a large children’s playroom on the first floor next to the music room and a small children’s play room next to the kitchen.
