Description:

The extraordinary Villa Capuana, built in 1605, is located on the eastern shores of Lake Como.
It is made up by three separate buildings and a large dock that can accommodate up to 7 metres of boats.
The villa is registered as a “Fine Arts” property for its great historic significance.
The main building, the mansion, is arranged over two floors with twenty large and luxurious rooms rich with vaulted ceilings, frescoes and original flooring.
The ground floor can be accessed directly from the fenced in garden and is ideal for entertaining guests with a splendid view of the lake.
The villa also offers a billiard room, a living room with oak parquet floors and a lounge with numerous frescoes.
Villa Capuana has retained many of its original historic characteristics such as terracotta floors and numerous frescoes.
All three buildings were completely renovated six years ago but the villa still needs some work to restore it to its original splendour.
Villa Capuana is located in an ideal position offering breathtaking views of the Bellagio peninsula.
Located less than 20 minutes by private boat from Como and only a 10 minute walk from the city of Varenna.
The village of Varenna is divided into a grid of characteristic narrow streets that steeply drop down to Lake Como, where the houses reflect on the water. It is possible to find charming restaurants such as Vecchia Varenna, characteristic hotels and luxurious villas on the lake for rent  for the summer season in a tranquil and relaxing setting.
