Lake Riviera Villa, Torno
Torno, Lake Como, Lake Como, Italy
Why We Selected It
Torno is the village people find after they have seen the rest of the lake: cobbled lanes climbing from the water, a handful of restaurants and artisan workshops, and none of the traffic of the main shore. This villa sits inside that setting and keeps the character of the old lake houses — timber beams, stone floors, an antique fireplace — while the renovation behind it is entirely new, down to the systems. What makes it rare is the ground: a flat garden of roughly 680 m² around the house, on a shoreline where flat land almost does not exist, and a terrace off the bedrooms that faces the water and the mountains opposite.

Life Here
The village
Torno is a working lakeside village on the eastern Riviera: cobbled streets, small restaurants, artisan boutiques and a boat landing, rather than a resort strip.
The terrace
Forty-five square metres facing the water — where the day is spent from spring to autumn, and where the lake turns gold and pink at sunset.
The garden
Flat, planted and enclosed: room for an outdoor lounge, a long table in the shade, and a place to sit with a book.
The lake
Torno sits a short distance north of Como on the eastern shore, with ferry connections along the lake and the villages of the Riviera within easy reach.
Getting there
Como is minutes away by road, Milan around an hour, and Milan Malpensa airport is the usual arrival point.
Our Perspective
Why it works
A completely renovated 300 m² villa with a flat 680 m² garden, a 45 m² lake-facing terrace and a two-car garage, inside one of the most protected villages on the Como Riviera.
Ownership case
Torno's shoreline is fixed and its building stock is historic, so what changes hands is what already exists. Villas that combine a finished restoration, private flat land and a garage are the smallest part of that supply.
What makes it special
The balance the renovation strikes: beams, stone and an antique fireplace kept intact, with new systems behind them — and outside, flat garden on all sides and a terrace opening straight onto the lake.
Best suited for
A family or couple who want a finished, characterful house on Lake Como with real outdoor space, ready to use without a project attached.
