Berlusconi’s purchase exposes one of Lake Como’s best kept secrets

March 26, 2012 - PRLog -- For ONLY LAKE COMO the past few years have seen a steady growth in shrewd investors that, with little publicity, have recognised the potential of properties served by the lake road ‘Lariana’ to Bellagio, but thinks this may now all change. Pretty lake village, Torno, has made international headlines, as Mr Berlusconi after many years of searching has found his dream lake property in a 30 room villa just purchased from one of his friends, Mr Dell’Utri.  Villa Comalcione stands proud on a private headland in 3000 square metres of secluded parkland with its own landing stage.

His outlook will be the spectacular Western side of Lake Como, hosting the beautiful Cernobbio with Villa D’Este, Moltrasio and Laglio where George Clooney has Villa Oleandra, and has long been considered the place to be. Although, the lower Eastern side began to seriously catch up with its affluent neighbour in 2010 with the opening to resounding acclaim and excellent reviews of Casta Diva, the prestigious 5 star luxury resort in Blevio.

Currently, the discerning purchaser still has some choice as many of the older properties remain untouched providing scope for serious investors, and although there is little recent construction, there are a few exclusive complexes offering high specification villas with design interiors and an ideal ready-to-move-into solution.  As always lake view and lake side properties are at a premium.

ONLY LAKE COMO predicts the property hotspots will be Torno, and neighbouring Blevio and Faggeto Lario. If you are interested in purchasing properties in these areas or anywhere on Lake Como, please contact ONLY LAKE COMO, specialised property search consultants for the Lake.
