Description
In the beautiful town of Bellano, close to the town centre, we are offering for sale a 1930s villa with terraced gardens just a few metres from the lake.
Strategically located for amenities and exclusive as one of the very few villas for sale on the Lecco shore, it is ideal as a holiday home or as an investment for tourist rentals. The property is located on the side of the road and is accessed via a large driveway that opens onto two private garages with parking for at least five cars.
The villa is spread over 4 levels with four apartments per floor. Among these, on the ground floor, there is a two-room apartment renovated in 1999 consisting of a living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and storage room.
On the first floor, there is an apartment consisting of an entrance hall, living room with open kitchen, hallway, two bedrooms, one with a walk-in wardrobe, two bathrooms, large balcony and utility room.
On the second floor, there is an entrance hall, living room, kitchen, hallway, two bedrooms, bathroom, balcony and storage room.
The top floor is on two levels and consists of an entrance hall, living room and dining area, kitchen, hallway, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, balcony and storage room.
The lake view is only from this last apartment and from some points of the villa.
Externally, the villa has various outdoor spaces with terraced gardens and flat walkways with various types of trees.
The finishes and renovation of the interior spaces are fairly recent and only the apartment on the second floor needs some internal modernisation.
The façade and roof were renovated a few years ago and there are photovoltaic panels and thermal insulation on three sides except for the front façade.
An elegant residence of yesteryear that combines the charm of Lake Como with modern comforts; a unique opportunity to live or invest in one of the most picturesque locations on the Lecco shore.
Officially included in the list of the ‘Borghi più belli d'Italia’ (most beautiful villages in Italy), Bellano is a must-see destination for those seeking spectacular landscapes, authentic experiences and a variety of outdoor recreational activities, both inland and on the water.
Located a few kilometres from Varenna, this village of about 3,200 inhabitants offers various attractions and services to tourists: a charming lakefront, a beach with facilities, a public swimming pool, traditional restaurants, cafés, shops and a lively cultural life, linked to various artistic personalities.
One of its strong points is the marina: a well-equipped tourist port offering mooring for private boats, nautical services and a pleasant lakeside promenade. It is the ideal starting point for boat trips, water sports and connections with regular boats to Varenna, Menaggio, Bellagio and other pearls of the lake.
The most evocative attraction in the area is the famous ‘Orrido di Bellano’, a spectacular natural gorge carved out over the centuries by the Pioverna stream. Walking along the footbridges suspended over the rushing waters, you can enjoy a breathtaking experience among waterfalls, caves and sheer rock faces.
Perfectly connected by boat and train, Bellano is also an excellent base for exploring the area:
• 4 km from Varenna (10 minutes by car or 5 minutes by train/ferry)
• 26 km from Lecco (about 35 minutes by car)
• 56 km from Como (about 1 hour by car)
• 80 km from Milan (about 1 hour and 30 minutes by car or 1 hour and 40 minutes by train with a change in Lecco)
Thanks to the railway station in the village and the Lake Como ferry stop, getting to and from Bellano is convenient and scenic.
Ideal for a relaxing holiday or as a base for exploring, Bellano is a gem waiting to be discovered, whatever the season.
