Set within the enchanting historic center of Lanzo d’Intelvi, this detached period house offers a rare opportunity to live immersed in the character and beauty of one of the region’s most picturesque villages. Surrounded by lush greenery and a beautifully maintained private garden, the property combines timeless architectural details with modern comfort.

Originally built in 1740 as the town’s convent, the property served as a residence for nuns until it was acquired by an aristocratic Milanese family and transformed into an elegant holiday home. During the 19th century, Lanzo was a favored retreat for Milanese families seeking fresh mountain air in summer and a winter escape for skiing.

In the early 20th century, the villa was divided into three residences by the original family—this property is one of those three.

The property has been lovingly restored, preserving original features such as elegant flooring, vintage stained-glass windows, and a character-rich wood-burning fireplace.

In addition to a newly replaced roof, the current owners have also fully re-wired the home, added gas heating and instant hot water, and installed a new kitchen. The home is both loved and lived in, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout.

Ground Floor:
Spacious entrance hall, generous living room with fireplace, kitchen, one bedroom, and one bathroom.

First Floor:
Two large double bedrooms, a second bathroom, and a wide terrace offering a quiet, open view of the garden and surrounding nature.

Lower Ground Floor:
Laundry room, cellar, storage/utility room, and direct access to the garden.

The house is offered fully furnished, with interiors that reflect the charm of the property’s history. A unique home ideal as a primary residence or as a refined countryside retreat, combining historical value, privacy, and proximity to the natural beauty of the Intelvi Valley and Lake Como.

About the location: Lanzo, the main centre of the D'Intelvi valley region, is in the very north of Lombardy – 20 minutes from Argegno on Lake Como and 10 minutes from Lake Lugano in Switzerland.
From the late 19th century, Lanzo developed into a sought-after residential and holiday destination, known for its splendid villas and vibrant community life. Today, it remains a well-loved spot for both winter and summer tourism.

In addition to ski fields and climbing trails, Lanzo offers a beautiful 18-hole golf course, a family-friendly tennis club, community sports fields, and a children's playground.

In the summer the Milanese holiday in Lanzo, and the town centre is a buzz with activity: stalls, festivals and the local people just drinking coffee or sharing a glass of wine together.
