Description
This elegant apartment is in the magnificent Villa Taverna, dating back to the late 17th century, and is considered one of the most beautiful and famous villas on the picturesque Lake Como. The apartment was extensively renovated in 2013, harmoniously blending modern amenities with historical elements, using only high-quality materials.
Access to the villa is marked by a gate with a porter’s lodge. A paved road leads directly to the main entrance of the apartment, which is set within a meticulously maintained park covering several hectares of historic land. The villa extends directly by the water, offering direct access to the lake.
The apartment spans the ground floor and the first floor, showcasing a spacious living area accentuated by a historic fireplace. The modern living area leads to an elegant dining space and a romantically designed outdoor area.
On the ground floor, there is also a well-equipped kitchen, a stylish study, and a guest toilet. The bedroom is comfortable and features a bathroom adorned with exquisite marble and equipped with a freestanding designer bathtub—a true retreat for well-being and relaxation.
A high-quality wooden staircase leads to the first floor, which boasts an impressive ceiling height of 6 meters. Here, there is a light-filled room currently used as a library and additional living space. The large windows provide a stunning view of Lake Como, making this space an ideal location for creative inspiration or relaxing reading sessions.
This floor also includes a generous dressing room and an additional bathroom. To maximize space, a hanging floor was incorporated, providing a modern bedroom with an en-suite bathroom that ensures both functionality and comfort along with privacy.
The design apartment in the historic Villa Taverna is a unique living concept that combines the history of the villa with modern luxury. The direct access to Lake Como, the high-quality furnishings, and the stylish design make this apartment a dream retreat for those seeking the best of both worlds.
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.
