Villa Pliniana

Villa Pliniana is an enchanting historical property poised along the serene waters of Lake Como. This wondrous Italianate manor dazzles in early 19th-century splendor, a serene wooded setting claiming otherworldly southeastern waterfrontage. Situated with the most exquisite corners of Northern Italy within reach, guests may discover time-forgotten lakeside villages, indulge in day trips to Milan, the historic delights of Venice, or the alpine prestige of St Moritz.

Palatial interiors are witness to the regal opulence of a bygone era. Immortal elegance harmoniously melds with contemporary precision and eclectic curations. Spellbinding interiors await, flush with the decor and architectural stylings of the Napoleonic and Renaissance periods. A show-stopping salon flaunts astonishing terrazzo mosaic flooring beneath impossibly ornate coffered ceilings and Rococo-influenced moldings. Hand-painted bands, stuccos, and grandiose French doors immerse the elite living spaces in larger-than-life vistas over glassy waters and wooded mountains. Milanese haute couture refinement comes to expression across designer furnishings, blending seamlessly with stunning late baroque pieces and timeless Chiaroscuro paintings, inflecting Medici-era intrigue to the manor. Villa Pliniana's grand salons offer an incomparable venue for conferences, galas, impromptu get-togethers, or lavish affairs. The main floor navigates past a billiard room, formal dining area, and commercial kitchen. Ten sumptuous bedrooms with marble-clad ensuites are configured between four luxury apartments, assuring total discretion and autonomy. Wellness facilities include a sauna, steam room, emotional showers, indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, and Solarium.

Villa Pliniana comes to its fullest expression with its truly sublime surroundings. Perfectly manicured gardens and meandering paths beckon restorative nature walks across the generous lakefront estate. Additional features include a central courtyard with a fountain, trickling waterfall features, a cave, and a private dock beckoning nautical escapades. The piece of resistance is the triple-arched lakeside Doric-vaulted loggia connecting the two Great Salons, delivering the pinnacle of Imperial prestige.
