Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This characterful home offers more than Lake Como views (though the panoramas are certainly a highlight). Descend the stone steps to the lush garden, and you'll find hidden spots for alfresco meals and drinks, as well as the highlight – a pool terrace facing the lake and mountains. A separate annexe offers more private quarters – ideal for older kids who value their independence – while in the main house, colourful art, books, and games make this a cheerful space to gather in the evenings. Though you're just a fifteen-minute drive from Como, Torno itself is worth a wander – visit the Romanesque church and enjoy a lakeside meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant.
