Some homes impress. Others resonate.
Villa Serenità, set along the shoreline of Blevio, is one of those rare properties that doesn't just sit beside Lake Como — it grows from it, absorbing its rhythm, light, and calm.
Originally the elegant boathouse of Villa Riva, this historic structure has been transformed with care and restraint into a private retreat that speaks to those who understand the value of discretion, beauty with depth, and the kind of luxury that doesn't need to be announced.
This is not a villa that claims the lake. It listens to it.
A Quiet Evolution: From Boathouse to Private Estate
Dating back to the late 1800s, Villa Serenità began its life as part of Villa Riva's lakefront estate — a refined boathouse on leasehold state-owned land, built not to dominate the landscape but to serve it. Its most recent transformation, completed about a decade ago, respected that legacy.
Modern amenities — underfloor heating, full air conditioning, and integrated systems — have been introduced subtly, without compromising the villa's original soul. What results is a seamless blend of history and present comfort: a structure rooted in its past, now ready for its next chapter.
A Garden That Breathes
Surrounding the villa is a 1,000 sqm English-style garden, where manicured lawns meet sculptural greenery. It's a space of balance: sunlight and shadow, open lawn and majestic magnolia.
At its heart, a heated swimming pool invites year-round enjoyment, while terraces offer settings for everything from slow breakfasts to summer soirées.
But beyond the garden lies the true soul of the property — the lake itself.
Direct Dialogue with the Water
Villa Serenità's unique value is its immediate relationship with Lake Como.
A private dock and original boathouse place the water quite literally at your feet. Step out of the recreation room, take three steps, and you're boarding your boat — ready to explore the lake's hidden coves and iconic villas.
This isn't symbolic lake access. It's a living connection.
Interiors Designed for Light and Life
Spread across three carefully considered levels and roughly 300 sqm, the villa's layout is a study in flow, light, and quiet refinement.
- Ground Floor: A generous foyer opens into a living room framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, where Lake Como becomes part of the décor. A custom fireplace warms the space, which leads into the dining area and a kitchen set within a conservatory — striking yet understated. The master suite is also here, with garden views and spa-like privacy.
- Upper Floor: A sculptural spiral staircase leads to two en-suite bedrooms, a study, and a dedicated laundry — all bathed in natural light, designed for clarity and calm.
- Dock Level: Built for moments, this space offers a large recreation room that connects directly to the boathouse and pier. Ideal for summer dinners, private concerts, or quiet sunset glasses of wine — this is where the home becomes a lifestyle.
Everything Considered, Nothing Overstated
Equipped with climate control, high-spec security, and meticulously oriented outdoor spaces, Villa Serenità is designed to feel effortless in every season.
Its proximity to the historic center of Como — just minutes away — adds convenience without sacrificing privacy. Few properties offer this blend: true intimacy with the lake, and immediate access to the city's culture and services.
CONCLUSION
Villa Serenità is not just for sale. It's an invitation.
To live slower. To live surrounded by beauty that doesn't ask for attention, but quietly rewards it. To be on Lake Como — and part of it.
This is not a staging ground for a lifestyle. It's the lifestyle, already built, waiting for those who understand what matters.
