Historic residence, centuries-old park and direct access to the lake Exclusively represented by the agency – In the heart of the historic village of Bosisio Parini, BHHS Palazzo Estate is pleased to present this exclusive and private property, located just a short distance from charming local restaurants, lounge bars and grocery shops. Set on the shores of Lake Pusiano, Villa Appiani Cantù is one of the rarest and most evocative historic properties in Lombardy. The residence extends over approximately 800 sqm, surrounded by a private 5,000 sqm park featuring centuries-old and monumental trees, stretching directly down to the lake. A property where history, privacy, nature and architecture come together in a truly unique balance. Lake Pusiano is an intimate and exclusive body of water nestled between the two branches of Lake Como. A Villa Steeped in History The origins of the residence date back to the 18th century and are linked to the family of Andrea Appiani (1754–1817), the celebrated Neoclassical painter and leading figure of the artistic culture of the Napoleonic era. According to tradition, the villa is believed to be the artist's birthplace. A plaque on the façade and a monument in the park commemorate his connection with the property. A second monument celebrates the close friendship between Appiani and Giuseppe Parini, the renowned 18th-century writer, who was also born in Bosisio, the town that now bears his name. Since 1879, the villa has belonged to the Cantù family, who for almost 150 years have carefully preserved its identity and architectural heritage. The Authentic Charm of a Historic Residence The villa retains numerous original features, including wooden floors, exposed beams, period fireplaces, Liberty-style stained-glass windows and the historic Moltrasio stone staircase. The interiors include generous reception rooms, a dining room with fireplace, a library, kitchen, and an upper-floor sleeping area comprising five bedrooms, together with further rooms of exceptional character. The property is completed by three independent, recently renovated apartments, each with its own heating system, ideal for guests, family members or staff. The Lake as an Extension of the Home The true privilege of Villa Appiani Cantù is its park. Approximately 5,000 sqm of private grounds extend all the way to the water, with monumental trees, panoramic views and areas designed for relaxation and entertaining. Here, the lake is not simply something to admire — it becomes part of everyday life. A Privileged Location Bosisio Parini offers the tranquillity and charm of the Brianza countryside while providing convenient connections to Lecco, Como and Milan, as well as to the main international airports. Within just a few kilometres of the villa, residents can enjoy a wide range of sporting activities, including golf, tennis and horse riding, as well as, naturally, a variety of water sports.
