Welcome to Villa Porto Felice, a luxurious and fully staffed villa located on the picturesque banks of Lake Como. This magnificent estate can accommodate up to 20 guests and offers a range of amenities to ensure a memorable stay.
Originally built in 1901 by an American Admiral, the villa underwent a complete reconstruction in 2005 and received sleek refurbishments in 2019. Today, Villa Porta Felice is a testament to grandeur and happiness, making it an ideal destination for a remarkable vacation.
As a gallery of design on the lake, the villa's interior showcases a creative style termed 'evergreen', featuring a curated collection of American and Italian works spanning from the 1950s to the 2000s. Within the villa, guests will have the privilege of living among masterpieces from renowned artists such as Lloyd Wright, Philip Johnson, and Van der Rohe. The carefully selected furniture includes pieces from esteemed brands like Cassina, Vitra, and Moroso, with many items crafted in the design district of Brianza, situated between Lake Como and Milan. For those interested, there's an opportunity to explore the Design Experience, a visit to the design district itself.
Moreover, the villa boasts an impressive art collection, including significant sculptures by the esteemed Iranian artist, Bijan Bassirith, who has been a prominent figure at the Venice Biennale.
The main house offers nine sunlit double bedrooms, each graced with stunning views overlooking the lake and gardens. With accessibility in mind, all four floors are conveniently reachable via a private lift. Additionally, there's a charming garden cottage with a double bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette available for accommodation.
For the resident staff and guests staff, there's a cozy staff cottage equipped with three double rooms. This ensures ample space and comfort for everyone involved.
The splendid gardens surrounding Villa Porto Felice are a sight to behold, boasting rich and mature landscaping. The famous even climate of Lake Como fosters the flourishing of vibrant azaleas, alongside ginkgo trees, red acacia, a serene bamboo forest, and a serene olive grove. Furthermore, the villa's Kitchen Gardens is an absolute delight, producing an abundance of fresh and delectable produce that finds its way to the dining table, adding a touch of authenticity to every meal.
Come and experience the joy of Villa Porta Felice, where art, nature, and luxury blend harmoniously to create an unforgettable escape on the tranquil shores of Lake Como.
