THE ESTATE
Gallietta is a luxury historic villa dating from 1772, set directly on the waterfront of Lake Como in the heart of Como, Italy. Combining the grandeur of an aristocratic residence with an exceptionally convenient town-centre location, it offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a private lakeside estate just a short walk from Como's historic centre.
The property brings together three defining features: historic architecture, direct access to Lake Como and the convenience of staying within the town itself. Its private garden, swimming pool and lakeside setting provide an atmosphere of privacy, while restaurants, cafés, boutiques and cultural attractions are within walking distance.
Recognised as one of Como's historic “Seven Sisters”, Villa Gallietta retains original frescoes, historic mosaic floors and elegant architectural details, complemented by modern comforts including air conditioning, an elevator, high-speed Wi-Fi, a private gym and a dedicated yoga area.
The estate comprises the Main Villa and an independent Rustic Apartment. Together, they accommodate up to 25 guests in 11 bedrooms, making the property particularly suitable for extended families, multigenerational holidays and large groups who wish to stay together while retaining the flexibility of separate accommodation.
With concierge services available to help coordinate the stay, Villa Gallietta is also an appealing setting for milestone anniversaries, family reunions and selected private gatherings, subject to the owner's approval and the property's event policies.
