Description
Villa Vespina is a lakefront property located 10 kilometers north of Menaggio, on the northwest shore of Lake Como. The house is located in a unique setting and provides direct access to the beach. The property includes private parking, a heated swimming pool (heated in winter), a panoramic sun patio, and a large private garden directly overlooking the lake promenade and the beach.
The villa can accommodate 12 (+ 2) people in six double bedrooms with six private ensuite bathrooms, all equipped with air conditioning. The villa also offers an additional staff bedroom with dedicated bathroom, a large and sunny living room, and a dining room with an antique wooden table for up to 18 people. Finished in 2019, Villa Vespina\'s spacious interior makes this the ideal holiday home for large parties. The overall property is about 2500 sqm, and consists of two floors (each around 250 sqm) and a basement (200 sqm). The interior details are noteworthy; on the ground floor the flooring is crafted with antique Lombard cotto tiles, while the stairs and the flooring on the first floor are made in chestnut wooden, aged for 20 years before being treated and placed. In addition, the windows are all soundproofed to ensure a peaceful night\'s sleep for guests.
