Lago di Como · Italia
VillaTivano
A private neoclassical villa on the water’s edge, rented in its entirety — 6 suites, 12 guests, one household.
- I
By water
Guests arrive the old way: by boat, at the villa’s own dock, between the striped mooring poles.
- II
The loggia
Up the garden staircase, between the two cypresses, to the three arches of the loggia. The doors are already open.
- III
The hall
A double stone staircase, a frescoed vault, a terrazzo floor that has seen every summer since 1868.
- IV
The salon
Three French windows — and beyond them, nothing but the lake.
- V
The terrace
An infinity pool set above the water, facing the mountains as the last light goes.

One villa, one household
Built in 1868 for a family of Como silk merchants, Villa Tivano was never a hotel and never will be. It opens to one party at a time — a family, a group of friends, a celebration — and closes its gates behind them.

- 9,000m² of terraced garden
- 18metre infinity pool
- 80metres of private shore

The suites
Six suites, named after the garden
Each suite takes its name from what flowers beneath its windows.
A day at the villa
The day follows the winds
On Lake Como the day has two winds. The Tivano blows from the north at night and in the morning; around midday the Breva rises from the south and fills the sails until evening.
Breakfast in the loggia
Coffee, cornetti and fruit under the arches, while the Tivano still draws fine ripples on the water.
Move along the day — drag the hour, or sweep the cursor across.
