Villa Cagni Troubetzkoy
Villa Cagni Troubetzkoy on the slopes of Blevio, an ancient Italian hill town, was built in 1848 by a Russian prince. It stands right in front of the iconic Villa d’Este in Cernobbio, overlooking Lake Como.
Over 170 years of work, from 1848 to present, have shaped the eclectic character and unique identity of the villa, unfolding across lush gardens, sun-drenched terraces, and century-old olive groves.
The main villa opens onto panoramic views that capture the lake’s ever-changing moods, from misty dawn hazes to golden sunsets. Seven sunlit bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, are spacious and comfortable, and guests can use an elevator to easily access all the villa’s levels.
Wellbeing is an essential part of the Italian lifestyle, so there is a dedicated spa area where guests can relax with soothing treatments. Outdoors, one can find a sparkling swimming pool and bubbling jacuzzi, framed by lush gardens with breathtaking lake views.
Whether it’s a family holiday splashing in the pool, a summer vacation tracing the lake’s hidden coves, or a romantic getaway with candlelit dinners on the terrace, the venue promises to be as memorable as the vacation itself.
