Description
Villa Torno is a small paradise nestled in an ancient quarry on the shores of Lake Como and offers unique privacy. No neighbours, no noise, the right place to stop the watch and take "your" real time.
The sunset is absolutely amazing and in summer season you can enjoy it from this side of the Lake only, while on the opposite side at 6 PM there is no sun anymore, hidden by the mountains.
From within the villa you are already immersed in the atmosphere of the lake but from the garden you have a complete and captivating view of it, day and night, in beautiful weather but also in stormy weather which gave inspiration and pleasure to the poets of the Romantic era.
Villa Torno is nestled in a park about 5000 square meters, with natural woods and terraced gardens surrounded by the rocks from the ancient quarry.
Villa Torno and the walls surrounding the garden were constructed and restored with stones from the quarry, which was already operating in the 17th century.
As the house is in dominant position above the charming village of Torno, to reach the property you have to pass Torno and take a narrow uphill road of about two minutes. That is why in case you are renting a car, automatic transmission is a must.
Once you reach the property, you park inside it and you have a ramp of about 80 steps up to the Villa...the ramp to Paradise!
For this reason, VILLA TORNO IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR PEOPLE HAVING DISABILITY IN WALKING.
Luggage is not a problem as there is always someone who will bring it up to the house on your behalf.
A large living room with sliding glass doors that lead out onto an adjoining terrace and a breathless lake view.

There are 3 double bedrooms, two of them can be prepared either with twin beds or king size bed, according to guest’s requirement.

In the basement, there is at guest's disposal a relax area with a unique bio sauna, located among the local rocks found during the restoration works. The bio sauna permits adjusting the percentage of humidity, choosing to have a typical hard dry Finnish sauna or a Turkish bath.
Enjoy the new unique outdoor pool, with jets, size 13x4 mt and the terrace with hot/cold water shower and relaxation area.
From this year in the stone raised part of the garden, behind the house and near the pool, you will find a corner of pure relaxation, where you can organize dinners and aperitifs even during the day because you will have a beautiful sailing cover that will protect you from the sun.
The pool is closed from November, 1st to March 31st.
