Housed within a stunning historic villa surrounded by botanical gardens and wonderfully manicured grounds, there’s no better place to relax, unwind and feel the magic of Lombardy’s loveliest landscape. Inside your home, bamboo parquet floors, terracotta-hued walls and a blend of antique and contemporary furnishings create an idyllic welcome with a beautiful winding staircase leading up to a mezzanine floor.
