Terrazza del Lago
What dreams are made of
La Terrazza Del Lago enjoys certain notoriety, starting with its privileged position on the western shore of Lake Como, boasting unparalleled views. This unique and opulent estate is a rare gem, rich with history. It originally belonged to the famous Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio, who built it at the end of the 16th century.
A century later, it was remodeled, enlarged, and embellished by Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini who used the Villa to host endless, extravagant festivals, banquets, and dances to entertain the most gallant and dignified members of society.
Nowadays, La Terrazza Del Lago is the largest private residence on Lake Como, occupying over two hectares of private grounds, which host an extensive sumptuous garden, an outdoor swimming pool, a private pier, and a boathouse.
The finest objets d’art and furniture of past centuries, sourced from Sotheby’s and Christie’s, adorn the historic and opulent interiors of La Terrazza.
Spectacular 17th-century frescoes painted by the Recchi brothers and Agostino Silva decorate the walls, untouched by time.
With its distinguished history and an unparalleled blend of man-made and natural beauty, La Terrazza Del Lago is, without doubt, the most glamorous estate on Lake Como.
