3 Bed House for sale
Gravedona, Como, Lombardy, Italy
Full Description
Welcome to the beautiful Casa Stampa, set in the heart of Gravedona ed Uniti, just a 15-minute drive from the vibrant center of Menaggio.
Casa Stampa enjoys splendid views over both the lake and the picturesque village below.
Once owned by the noble Stampa family, one of Lombardy’s oldest and most distinguished lineages, the property carries an extraordinary historical legacy. The Stampa family held prominent positions within the Duchy of Milan, were connected to illustrious northern Italian dynasties such as the Sforza, Visconti, and Gonzaga, and owned several valuable estates throughout the region, including parts of the Castello Sforzesco.
Casa Stampa is a distinguished historic residence offering elegantly proportioned living spaces arranged over two main levels plus a basement.
The property retains its late 19th-century character, with many original features beautifully preserved — including period fireplaces, wooden shutters, detailed cornices, and a charming stone well located at the corner of the portico.
The layout of the house offers a perfect balance between the living and sleeping areas. The grand entrance hall, enhanced by an open portico overlooking the gardens and lake, creates a truly majestic welcome. A cozy dining room, a separate kitchen, and an impressive original fireplace — crowned by the Stampa family coat of arms — complete the ground floor.
On the first floor, there are three bedrooms in total, two of which offer spectacular lake views and a sense of timeless comfort. The abundance of well-preserved original details throughout creates an atmosphere of authentic historical charm.
This level also includes the property’s main bathroom, featuring a bathtub and windows framing views of the lake.
Adjacent to this floor, and accessible from a separate entrance, lies a spacious room currently used as storage — easily convertible into an additional bedroom with en-suite bathroom, or into a serene living/relaxation area with panoramic lake and garden views.
The cellar spaces on the basement level are practical and well arranged, providing convenient access from the front courtyard.
Surrounded by its private garden and set in a peaceful yet central location, Casa Stampa offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Lake Como’s noble history — a home that beautifully combines heritage, elegance, and breathtaking scenery.
