Torno, Como, Lombardy, Italy

A few minutes from the town of Como, in the characteristic locality of Torno, we offer an elegant apartment in the prestigious Villa Taverna. The mansion, dating back to the end of the 17th century, is located directly on the lake and is surrounded by a marvellous park extending over approximately four hectares, enhanced by valuable tree species and centuries-old trees. The lakeside park of Villa Taverna is one of the most fascinating historical gems of Lake Como: it is characterised by spontaneous vegetation and a botanical variety that makes it an ideal place for walks in nature in a place of rare charm.
The residence, built in 1787 by the noble Taverna family of Milan, is distinguished by its neoclassical architecture and enjoys a particularly open view and a wonderful panorama of the first basin of Lake Como. The apartment underwent a careful renovation in 2015 followed by an international interior designer. The renovation was carried out using materials of the highest quality and the choice of accurate finishes. The property is furnished with particular taste and attention to the details.
The unit is spread over three levels, the ground floor, the first floor and a second floor, covering an area of 240 square metres. On the ground floor, an elegant entrance hall leads to a marvellous living room enhanced by an antique fireplace; this is followed by a large dining room with exit to a small charming dehors and a well-equipped kitchen with a pantry/wardrobe room next to it, leading to a laundry room.
The guest bedroom, very quiet and private, has an en-suite bathroom.
On the first floor there is a study/reading room with a library wall, a further bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe. Going up to the second floor, we find the master bedroom facing the library, which creates a charming corner with a view of the lake. On this floor there is a refined bathroom with an unusual round bathtub.
An uncovered parking space in exclusive use completes the prestigious proposal.
Living pied-dans l'eau on Lake Como means blending luxury with nature, living in a place that offers direct, intimate and privileged contact with one of the most beautiful lakes in Europe.
