About the Property

Prestigious 16th-century villa with an English-style garden, situated in the heart of the Masnago district of Varese, Lombardy. This exquisite property, built in 1600, spans approximately 45,000 square metres and boasts a main villa of 2,000 square metres, arranged over three levels. It offers a harmonious blend of architectural value and historical significance, all while providing complete privacy just minutes from the city centre. Villa “Il Nonaro” is one of the most significant and best-preserved historic estates in the Varese area, showcasing its evolution from a Renaissance core to later enhancements. The villa features distinguished elements such as an upper loggia, a stone-arched portico, and a wrought-iron corner balcony, all of which reflect its historical importance. The refined restoration by the renowned Bagatti Valsecchi brothers in the 19th century has further accentuated its original features. The estate is complemented by a gatehouse at the entrance of the long tree-lined driveway, several ancillary rural buildings, the charming “Bee House,” and two greenhouses constructed in the 1970s. The park, designed in the second half of the 19th century by landscape architect Emilio Alemagna, presents an elegant English-style garden characterized by expansive lawns, winding pathways, and a rich variety of botanical species.
