It is part of the exclusive Villa Erker Hocevar, which was built in 1829, and has beautiful communal gardens and a lakeside swimming pool – the perfect place to relax and unwind. And the new owners will be buying a historic property; renowned composer Vincenzo Bellini previously lived in the villa, while musician Matt penned and recorded the band's 2011 Grammy-winning album The Resistance while living there.
The apartment, which is located in the picturesque village of Moltrasio, has four bedrooms and three recently updated bathrooms. Click through to see inside the lavish Italian property…
The penthouse apartment is spread over two floors and has views over the nearby Lake Como and the communal swimming pool and gardens, which feature a deconsecrated chapel, a fountain and a bridge. A boat mooring is also available for purchase should Matt's buyers also have their own boat for cruising around the lake.
Matt's airy apartment features a large kitchen/diner with wooden flooring and a stainless steel fitted kitchen and breakfast bar, complete with a huge American-style fridge-freezer. There are also a number of cafés, bars and restaurants available just a few minutes' walk away in the nearby village of Moltrasio.
The spacious penthouse has a huge sitting room which leads on to both the family kitchen and a lake-view terrace – the ideal place for entertaining and relaxing outdoors during the summer months. On the same level there is also the Principal Guest Bedroom Suite, which Matt transformed into his very own recording studio.
On the upper level of the property there are three bedrooms, including the Master Bedroom Suite and a light-filled Jacuzzi bathroom. Much like the rest of the property, the design is minimalistic with neutral walls and wooden flooring throughout, and has skylights in the roof for a light and airy feel.
All three bathrooms in Matt's property have been recently updated, and include one bathroom with a Jacuzzi bath. This suite is a modern monochrome design, with a white ceramic sink and toilet plus black marble floor and wall tiling.
