Description
Nestled in the charming and picturesque heart of Torno, just fifteen minutes north of the city of Como, this elegant detached villa offers a rare opportunity to own a home in one of Lake Como’s most authentic and enchanting villages. The property will be fully completed approximately nine months from purchase, allowing you to step into a refined residence without the wait of a long construction process.
Set within the historic nucleus of Torno, the villa enjoys a peaceful yet central location. A pleasant five minute walk leads you to the lakefront, where ferry connections, inviting cafés, and traditional restaurants await—each framed by the timeless, breathtaking beauty of Lake Como.
The villa is currently unfinished, with partition walls already in place, and will be delivered fully renovated with high quality finishes that can be chosen by the renovations company, and very similar as shown in the renderings. While furniture is not included, the renovation will feature high-quality bathrooms, elegant flooring, and premium doors and windows, ensuring a turnkey home with refined Italian style.
The property is thoughtfully arranged over three levels, combining comfort, light, and flexibility. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a small hallway leading to a technical room and a private elevator. The main living level opens into a generous open-plan kitchen and dining area, flooded with natural light and seamlessly connected to a charming garden and outdoor patio—an ideal setting for al fresco dining or relaxed summer evenings. There is also the possibility to add a small outdoor pool, enhancing the villa’s appeal as a private retreat.
The first floor, accessible by elevator, is dedicated to the sleeping quarters. Here you’ll find a spacious master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, two additional bedrooms, and a second bathroom. This level also features a large walk-in wardrobe, offering both practicality and luxury.
The top floor is designed as a versatile living space, currently planned as an open lounge with a semi-open kitchen, one bedroom, and two bathrooms. The layout can easily be modified to create two or even three additional bedrooms, allowing the home to adapt to your personal needs, whether for family living, guests, or rental potential. The insulation and energy efficiency is planned to be a Class C.
Completing the property is a double garage located on the street below, available for purchase separately.
This villa represents a rare blend of historic charm, modern comfort, and customization potential—a perfect Lake Como home for those seeking beauty, tranquillity, and lasting value.

The charming village of Torno is located on the shores of Lake Como, on the eastern shore of the first Como basin; it is situated on a promontory called Montepiatto (610 msl) which offers a fantastic view of the lake, being in a raised position not far from the opposite shore, in one of the areas where the shores are closest.
This village, which today has just over 1000 inhabitants, has ancient origins and as is typical of the Como area, boasts a centuries-old tradition in the textile sector. In the historic centre, the churches, houses and typical restaurants offer a special atmosphere suspended in time. Torno, with its fantastic panorama and beautiful landscape, is an ideal location for nature lovers and lovers of romantic places: the hinterland can be discovered on the various paths, while the lake offers water sports enthusiasts a wide range of possibilities for recreation.
The pretty shoreline of Torno has a charming little harbour, from where boats and ferries depart daily for other places on the lake. Como, only 10 km away (about 20 minutes by car) offers a lively atmosphere thanks to its numerous clubs, cinemas, theatres and museums. Milan and the airports of Linate and Malpensa are about an hour's drive away (approx. 58 km), as is the Swiss city of Lugano and its regional airport.
Winter sports enthusiasts will be interested in the relative proximity of the famous resorts of St. Moritz (CH), Madesimo, Bormio and Livigno, which can be reached in two to three and a half hours by car, depending on the destination.
