Marvel at the breathtaking views of Lake Como at this tranquil lake-front retreat. There's a large, shared veranda that opens onto a small courtyard where you can enjoy your alfresco meals. There's also access to a small garden planted with gorgeous, scented lavenders, while in the winter, pretty camellias flower. The vistas are incredible from the stone table here – you can see the lakeshore from Como to Cernobbio, from Villa d'Este up to Villa Fontanelle in Moltrasio. Once a barn, the home has lovely character features such as exposed stone walls and white painted beams, which we adore. It's decorated with Lombard style furniture, vintage objects and hand-embroidered linens. Pop some vinyl on the turntable and relax on the comfy sofa in the living space or whip up a risotto in the kitchenette to enjoy on the terrace. Out and about, the village of Blevio is a seven-minute stroll, while Como, with its Basilica di San Fedele and beautiful Giardini del Tempio Voltiano, is a twelve-minute drive away.Its spires reach towards the heavens, catching the first rays of dawn and the last whispers of twilight. The grounds are a masterpiece of manicured gardens, where rare blooms release their intoxicating scents into the crisp morning air.

Inside, the opulence of a bygone era awaits. The halls are adorned with tapestries depicting heroic quests and noble lineage, while crystal chandeliers cast a gentle glow upon richly polished marble floors. Each room is a symphony of plush velvet and silk, with furniture carved by master craftsmen and adorned with gilded accents that catch the flicker of the fireplace.

From its balconies and terraces, panoramic views stretch across mist-covered valleys and shimmering lakes, painting a picture of tranquility and majesty. Kingfisher's Perch is not merely a residence; it is a testament to elegance, where every detail whispers of a timeless legacy and the pursuit of refined living.
