Liberty villa in Moltrasio with a lakeside staircase and boathouse

The villa looks over the Lario from a bank of grey rock, and you descend a Moltrasio-stone staircase with a wrought-iron balustrade to reach the boathouse with its pantile roof. It is a house made to be seen from the water: four floors with balconies and loggias painted yellow, a corner turret, the floral decoration of 1908 around the windows.

Inside, 450 m² with six bedrooms and five bathrooms, a salon with a stone fireplace, a dining room with Liberty glazing, a kitchen with a marble table. The north-side terrace, of 60 m², is where to take coffee while the lake is still in shade.

The 3,500 m² terraced garden steps down in three levels with cypresses, camellias and a wisteria pergola. A two-room cottage, three parking spaces, alarm and independent heating.
