A stunning Lake side house overlooking the majestic Lake Como which sleeps up to 8 in 4 bedrooms and bathrooms.
The surrounding views of the Lake and mountains are magnificent, the effect is both serene and startling. The house has been restored beautifully with a combination of historic and modern elements in a way that enhances the innate beauty of each by virtue of its contrast with the other. The house is very private and surrounded by conservation land, wood and rocks. The house is complemented by dramatic pieces of modern art and large glazed windows.
The property stands atop a mountain near the village of Torno in a completely secluded position. The house works perfectly for a couple on a romantic break or for a family. Within 5km of Lake Como it is possible to both drive and motor around the Lake.
There is a compact kitchen, making it just as easy to eat in the garden as in the Lake view dining room. In winter there are two fireplaces as well as underfloor heating throughout.
