The property comprises a classical villa building with two surviving tower campanili, a loggia, and a series of formal terraced gardens descending to a lakeside jetty; its interiors were richly furnished and are open to visitors.

As it stood in 1988
What Villa Balbianello looked like in its prime.
Perched on a wooded rocky point into Lake Como, the pale-stucco villa has low tiled roofs, a classical open loggia facing the water and two slender stone campanile towers set behind it. A sequence of stone terraces with balustrades and clipped beds step down to a small jetty. Exterior materials are stone and plaster, ornate carved balustrades and gravel paths; interiors at their peak are densely furnished with antique furniture, tapestries and wood boiseries.
