Nestled in the historic heart of Torno, just above the waters of Lake Como, this early 19th-century residence stands out for its authenticity and restraint. Spread across three levels and accessible from two independent entrances, the house hosts a series of rooms that preserve the cadence and charm of the village: two living areas, a dine-in kitchen, three en suite bedrooms, balconies, and panoramic glimpses of the lake and rooftops. A private garage – a rarity at this elevation – is included, along with easy access to public parking within walking distance.

A meticulous conservation project has brought new life to the structure without erasing its past. Once a village inn, the property still carries the quiet dignity of its origins. Moltrasio stone staircases, exposed wooden beams, original stone floors and the carved bench adorning the façade – all have been preserved with care. Every technical system, from plumbing to climate control, has been updated using the most advanced solutions: heat pump for heating and cooling, newly fitted bathrooms and kitchen, and dedicated Wi-Fi distribution on each floor. Efficiency here doesn’t compete with memory – it serves it.

Perched above the Como shoreline, Torno is one of the lake’s most quietly compelling enclaves. This property lies in its historical core, just above the scenic road connecting Como to Bellagio. Public parking is less than 50 meters away, while local bus lines and the lake ferry at the Torno pier provide quick access to Como and all major destinations around the lake. Despite the centrality, the house remains protected, silent, and discreet – its vine-covered façade and stone bench marking the passage of seasons. A place to live in, but also to pass on.
