Villa dei Cipressi

Villa dei Cipressi was built in 1897 for a Milanese industrialist family and has remained in private ownership ever since. The architecture is quintessential Belle Époque: an ornate façade of pale yellow stucco, tall arched windows, and ornamental ironwork balconies overlooking the lake. The property was comprehensively restored in 2018 with no expense spared.

The interior spans 720 square metres across four floors. The grand entrance hall, with its original mosaic floor and painted ceiling, sets the tone for a sequence of formal reception rooms of exceptional quality. The library, dining room and two drawing rooms all retain their period decorative schemes, updated with the finest contemporary furnishings.

The lakefront position — one of only a handful of directly accessible properties in Bellagio — includes a private mooring for two vessels and a fully equipped boathouse that could be converted to additional accommodation subject to planning. The landscaped gardens descend to the water in a series of terraced levels planted with cypress, camellias and wisteria.
