Plesio even today echoes the views of the many Romantic poets who tried to describe this magical place. It is indeed a rarity in today’s modern world. This 3-bed townhouse will not disappoint any prospective buyer’s expectations with its fabulous Lake Como views from the fourth floor terrace.
Not only does it provide the ideal base for those seeking a serene historical backwater, close to the sights and a real slice of authentic Italy. It also offers a chance to enjoy the Dolce Vito for a quarter of the price that most views of the magnificent Lake Como can offer. The view from the fourth floor of this stunning end of terrace town house that dates back more than 400 years is incomparable. The outlook that clearly shows the two rivers that Lord Byron must once have marvelled at as the lake separates with the enchanted area of Bellagio providing the divide is spectacular.
This period-style hillside home was fully renovated in the '90’s', and internally provides around 90 m2 of spacious and versatile accommodation. The principal living room features an ambient fireplace and sitting area plus a large dining room. There is also an amazing authentic kitchen with copper hood and traditional tiles as well as white goods, such as dish washer, microwave etc.
This floor leads up a wooden staircase to the first floor where there are three spacious bedrooms/ Two of the bedrooms boast ” room with a view”, views of terracotta roof tiles and the local church as well as Heidi-like mountain fields from two of the bedrooms. There is also a large bathroom with bath and shower on this floor.
The fourth floor is accessed by another staircase to a studio area that could create an amazing bar and chill area or an additional bedroom, as there is a sofa bed in it now. There is also a very convenient separate toilet. This room has access to the large roof terrace with room for sun loungers and table and chairs with the spectacular view of this very special lake.
If that is not enough there is are also splendid mountain views that one could easily get lost in if it wasn’t for the view of the lake.
The Dolce Vita doesn’t stop there, on the lower ground level there is a fantastic taverna with a large dining table and chairs to accommodate and relax with friends as you eat your bona fide pizza s that were cooked in the authentic built in wood burning Pizza oven.
On the other side of this beautifully arched taverna there is a large enclosed glass fireplace where you can enjoy warm winter evenings lounging on the very large sofa.
Perhaps more importantly for those cold Como mountain nights there is also a cellar at the same level which boasts the technical heating system room, the system is a state of the art boiler which heats all of the rooms which have radiators and the water. It is an incredible and costly piece of technical engineering that was recently installed by the owners. There is also another toilet there for those who prefer to access toilets on the same level. There is also another strong wooden door which provides the second access to the property.
A further bonus is a large wood storehouse which comes with the property and is ten metres from the house.
This scenic lake view townhouse is best characterized by its rustic stone façade that dates back to the middle ages located in a timeless setting in one of the ancient cobbled streets of Plesio. It also has a wonderful courtyard and an entrance door into the courtyard that is probably as old as the house.
This townhouse located in a truly unspoilt village setting promises an authentic Dolce Vita slice of mountain escapism on the Central Lake of Como. Situated within easy driving distance of Menaggio, the new owner can easily get out and about from this resort town by road, bus and ferry. Menaggio also provides a super modern family lido, a great selection of shops, supermarkets, authentic restaurants, cafes and offers golf, tennis, boat rental and swimming opportunities. The well-connected town also provides carefree access to the touristic Tremezzina shore (home to Villa Balbianello, Villa Carlotta, the Greenway del Lago walking trail and picturesque resort villages), the resorts of Bellagio and Varenna (via ferry), the cosmopolitan city of Lugano (via road and bus links towards Porlezza) and the southern lake capital of Como (via road, bus and fast ferry links). It also a chance to experience the real Italy with an amazing view and a great locally run restaurant with piazzas to die for.
Wordsworth among the many romantic poets who wrote about Lake Como penned this
And, Como! Thou, a treasure whom the earth
Keeps to herself, confined as in a depth
Of Abyssinian privacy. I spake
Of thee, thy chestnut woods, and garden plots
Of Indian-corn tended by dark-eyed maids;
Thy lofty steeps, and pathways roofed with vines, Winding from house to house, from town to town, Sole link that binds them to each other ; walks, He was right
