Abandoned Italian lakeside villa: before & after

AI-generated concept, not a real renovation. Every image on this page, before and after, was made with AI. There is no real property, no building work and no cost behind them: they are ideas to look at, nothing more.

An abandoned 1930s villa on an Italian lake, reimagined five times: from above with its terraced gardens and stone boathouse, in the frescoed grand salon, in the lakeside boathouse, in a master bedroom with balcony doors and on the sunset terrace. Terracotta roof, terrazzo floor, teak deck, herringbone parquet and pale limestone: ideas for restoring a lakeside villa as a luxury home with a view.

1. The villa from above

Before (AI concept): Aerial view of an ochre lakeside villa with a collapsed terracotta roof, overgrown stone terraces and stairs, tall cypress trees, a small stone boathouse with a fallen roof and a broken wooden jetty on a deep blue lake with mountains behind. — Before

After (AI concept): The same villa from the same height with a complete terracotta roof, trimmed lawns and stone balustrades, a fountain, small tables with parasols, a boathouse with a new tiled roof, a wooden jetty and a small wooden boat on the lake. — After

Same villa, same terraces, same boathouse. The concept repairs the roofs, clears the gardens into lawns and rebuilds the jetty.

2. The frescoed grand salon

Before (AI concept): A tall salon with a painted ceiling in gilded frames, faded walls, tall arched windows and glass doors facing the lake, and a cracked, dusty terrazzo floor with fallen plaster. — Before

After (AI concept): The same salon with restored ceiling paintings and gilding, a crystal chandelier, polished terrazzo, two curved cream sofas and a marble coffee table by the arched windows, warm light on the walls. — After

Same ceiling, same arched windows, same lake view. The concept restores the paintings, polishes the terrazzo floor and adds a crystal chandelier and two cream sofas.

3. The boathouse

Before (AI concept): The inside of a stone boathouse with a wooden roof frame and moss on the walls, a stone arch opening onto the lake and a rotten timber jetty over dark water. — Before

After (AI concept): The same boathouse with clean stone walls, brass lanterns, a teak deck, a varnished wooden speedboat moored in the slip and armchairs with navy cushions facing the lake arch. — After

Same stone arch, same roof frame, same lake view. The concept replaces the rotten jetty with a teak deck, hangs brass lanterns and moors a varnished wooden boat.

4. The master bedroom

Before (AI concept): An empty bedroom with peeling pale plaster, shuttered tall windows, an open balcony door onto the lake and a dusty herringbone parquet floor with fallen plaster, a dangling ceiling wire and a stone fireplace. — Before

After (AI concept): The same room with clean white walls, polished herringbone parquet, sheer white curtains, a crystal chandelier and a king bed with white linen and a table lamp beside the open balcony door. — After

Same windows, same balcony door, same parquet pattern. The concept repairs the plaster, polishes the floor and adds a bed with white linen and sheer curtains.

5. The sunset terrace

Before (AI concept): A cracked stone terrace at sunset with weeds in the paving, a stone balustrade covered in ivy, a worn stone wall on the left and a view of the lake and mountains. — Before

After (AI concept): The same terrace with clean pale paving, a restored balustrade, an infinity pool at the edge, four cushioned teak loungers, tall cypress in stone pots and glowing lanterns. — After

Same balustrade, same lake, same mountains. The concept clears the weeds, lays clean paving and adds an infinity pool, loungers and lanterns.

What Roomstill does, and what it does not

These concepts go further than Roomstill does: they can rebuild a roof, add glass or move a window. Roomstill starts from a photo of your own room, furnishes or restyles it, and keeps its walls, windows and doors where they are.
