comtesse2018 Take a short, lakeside stroll from Como's central piazza and you arrive at Villa Comtesse, a unique historic villa with a beautiful story to tell.  Built in 1772, its three year renovation was completed in 2009, bringing back once again the artful splendor of its time in centuries past.

Check availability

One of the famed "Seven Sisters of Como", this villa is filled with lovely frescoes by acclaimed artists including Andrea Appiani, Italy's most famous neo-classical artist.  It is the setting of a novel written in 1856 by French author Nathalie Comtesse.

Recently added:

- New frescoes by the artist Amarilli in several of the bedrooms
- New hardwood floors in the activity room off the main atrium and in the yoga studio
- New professional cardio equipment in the gym


While preserving the historical character of the villa, the owner has also added modern amenities including a swimming pool, air conditioning, elevator, full gym, yoga studio, high speed Internet and much more.  The villa staff lives in a separate residence.

Villa Comtesse offers an experience of opulence and convenient proximity to the the historic town of Como.  Spend your time enjoying the luxury of this 12,000 square foot mansion, walk to Como's center, or boat from the villa's easy access to Lake Como and indulge in a journey to the lake's most desired destinations.
