The first house built in Tuoro by the legendary mayor, writer, essayist, botanist, genius amateur of architecture and ante litteram ecologist Edwin Cerio, between 1927 and 1932: a snow-white parallelepiped, enlivened by a porch and a terrace only a stone's throw from the celebrated Piazzetta and the fashion district of Via Camerelle. Yet suddenly it looks like another Capri. Disappearing as if by spell are the tourist crowds, the sound of silence, gates and high walls of villas festooned with fauve bougainvillea, cypresses and maritime pines. The location is extraordinary, overlooking panoramically both Marina Piccola and Marina Grande, facing the Castiglione, a gaunt, dramatically sculptural rock hemmed in by greenery. Closing the horizon is a Vesuvius-Mount Fuji now stark, vibrant, Warholian, now blurred and surrounded by vague, white, stringy Hokusai-like clouds. Surrounding the 600-square-meter building that is set into the living rock behind, distributed on two floors with a vast upper terrace overlooked by the sleeping quarters and complemented by two outdoor covered loggia living areas, are the garden, gi lush vegetable gardens on various levels. The property has 7 bedrooms each with ensuite plus two staff bedrooms. In addition there is a swimming pool in fieri. The original Iznik-inspired polychrome Vietri tile flooring has been restored and zoned both inside the house and outside, emphasizing continuity, homogeneity of use. This villa belongs to the island's history. It is also livable even out of season: meaning long walks at the natural arch, at Villa Jovis, at the Migliera in Anacapri; it means concentration, readings, the newfound civilization of conversation, bathing at Villa Malaparte, an extraordinary, unique vocation for conviviality.

This majestic, 17th century villa is an exceptional, historical palazzo, situated along the breath-taking shores of Lake Como. Villa Naiade, which passed the hands of secular and religious nobility, has hosted gallant balls and banquets with Europe's most fashionable. It has housed meetings, concerts, and literary discussions where history was made. And within its walls remain renowned baroque masterpieces that have been admired for generations. Situated on the western shore of Lake Como, approximately 20 kilometers north of the town of Como.

From the Strada Regina, a nymph lowered of blue irises leads to the path to the main house, lined with box hedges, where plane trees and cypresses grow. The impressive main entrance leads to a spacious, luxurious foyer lined with beautiful frescoes by celebrated baroque artists. From the opulent foyer one can access the elegant dining area, the classic library, the three salons, and the winter garden, with flawless antique stone floors. The interiors of the villa also feature a fully equipped professional-grade kitchen, an in-home gym, an indoor swimming pool, an outdoor endless swimming pool, private lake access, two boathouses, secure parking for ten cars, reverse air-conditioning and heating throughout the interior, and a fully integrated security system.
