Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This beautiful home was once a convent. It’s been magnificently restored into three apartments, combining modern amenities with original features including terracotta floors, exposed wooden beams, and stone facades. The star of the show is the home’s setting on a hillside just outside of Cernobbio, and the views this provides. Soak in the Finnish hot tub while gazing out at Lake Como, watch ferries cruise by from a sunlounger in the garden, and dine alfresco under the stars.
