This historic holiday home is in the town of Lanzo, a short 20 min drive from Lake Como. Originally a convent building built in 1740, an aristocratic Milanese family purchased it subsquently and converted into a beautiful family holiday home.

For centuries, Lanzo’s pristine mountain air has attracted families who came for the holidays to escape the heat of Milan in the summer months or skiing in the winter months.

The current owners purchased this Italian holiday because of its proximity to both Lake Como and the Swiss border.
