Description
This former residence of the Platamone family, built in 1820-th by the famous architect Luigi Clerichetti, is located not far from the center of Como and is surrounded by magnificent grounds with trees from the beginning of the century.
In 2018, the villa was completely restored using the highest standards for every single detail. Significant, historic details have been preserved, such as the original frescoes, the mosaic floors, columns, the historic fountain, sculptures, and richly carved doors from the period.
The considerable heights of the ceilings and a generous amount of space create an elegant and comfortable environment.
The property has been converted into a luxury boutique hotel with seven suites, a fitness area, a spa, and a heated outdoor pool. This spectacular property can also be used as a private residence.
On the ground floor, there is an imposing entrance that leads to the spectacular living area. The historical details are impressive, such as the fountain, the billiard table, the wood-paneled study, the mosaic stone floor, and the light-flooded dining area. The state-of-the-art and a fully equipped kitchen are accessible from both the entrance and the dining area. An original marble staircase leads to the two upper floors where the seven suites with en-suite marble bathrooms are located. Each suite is individually furnished with luxurious queen-size beds and flat-screen LCD televisions and offers park views from the terrace.
This unique property comes complete with a spa and fitness area on the second floor.
