Located on the picturesque Lake Como in Italy, the 16th century Villa Balbiano served as the home of Aldo Gucci — the eldest son of founder Guccio Gucci, who played a key role in making the fashion house internationally renowned.
The building, which is located on the western shore of the lake, has six suites and marbled bathrooms. Each suite has a stunningly glamourous individual personality designed by interior decorator Jacques Garcia.
Its walls are adorned with 17th-century frescoes painted by the Recchi brothers and Agostino Silva. The villa has a boathouse, a private pier besides a swimming pool. The house also has artworks and furniture that were obtained from Sotheby’s and Christie’s auctions.
The villa looks like a gem along the lake surrounded by lush green mountains of northern Italy.
