Villa Nautica is located on the shores of Lake Como near the town of Calico. This 1950s architect-designed villa sits in 3.5ha of beautiful gardens – this allows the property to enjoy complete tranquillity and privacy. The property is for sale in immaculate condition, but there is scope for improvement in the older part of the villa.

The villa is elegantly furnished with cool colours and fabrics. The colour theme across the house is generally white, which gives it a calm and inviting feel.

The location of the villa is outstanding, with direct private access to the beach on the shore of the Lake. It has 180o views across the lake and towards the mountains. There is also a private boathouse accessed from the wooded walk through the gardens.

Calico, located at the top of Lake Como, is well known for its excellent sailing conditions. Skiing is available within a 45 minute drive at Madesimo in the Italian Alps;  St.Moritz is around 1.15 hours. Chiavenna, about 25 minutes’ drive away, offers an abundance of alpine walking. The area immediately around Calico is a haven of tranquillity and natural beauty with lots of sporting and outdoor activities.

In terms of airport links, the property is particularly well-served. The closest airport is Bergamo – around one hour and 20 minutes’ drive, while Milan (Linate) is one hour and 35 minutes away. Those preferring to travel to and from Milan (Malpensa) can expect approximately two hours of driving.

The villa contains five beautifully sculpted bedrooms, an impressive lounge and dining room, a modern kitchen and cellar, garaging, a boathouse, and even guest/staff accommodation comprising a further three bedrooms, as well as a kitchen, lounge and bathroom.

Villa Nautica is a superb property offering seclusion and privacy, ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and those looking for a unique, luxurious opportunity, with the added benefit of extraordinary guest quarters. Lake Como offers a lifestyle which few destinations in the world – let alone within Italy itself – can match.
