“Glamorous Italian Jewel on Lake Como”
— The Villa Balbiano team
The estate
A place to begin everything.
Situated on the western shore of Lake Como, Villa Balbiano is an awe-inspiring Italian jewel, an exceptional historical palazzo that once belonged to the famous Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio, who built it at the end of 16th century. Nowadays, Villa Balbiano is the largest private residence on the lake, occupying over 2ha, with extensive sumptuous garden, outdoor swimming pool, a private pier and a boathouse. Inside, its historic interiors have been filled with finest objets d'art and furniture sourced from Sotheby's and Christie's. Spectacular 17th century frescoes still decorate the walls.
