A rare pied dans l’eau residence set within one of the most historically significant lakeside villas on Lake Como, Villa Taverna in Torno.
This property is not simply “lake view” — it is direct contact with the water. The apartment sits at the very edge of the lake, with immediate access and a private boat mooring on the shared jetty, a feature that defines a completely different level of lake living.
The setting is exceptional. Villa Taverna is a historic estate surrounded by approximately 40,000 sqm of mature landscaped parkland, offering a sense of scale and privacy that is increasingly difficult to find along this stretch of the lake. The residence sits between two internationally recognised 5-star hotels, the Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como and the Il Sereno, reinforcing the quality and exclusivity of the immediate environment.
The apartment itself extends over 91 sq m, arranged in a functional and open manner. The main living area is positioned directly facing the lake, with full-height openings leading to a private terrace that sits literally above the waterline. The sense of proximity to the lake is constant and uninterrupted.
Ceiling heights reach approximately 4.95 metres, creating a strong architectural presence and enhancing both light and volume. The vertical space allows for a mezzanine level overlooking the living area, currently used as an additional flexible zone for guests or relaxation, complete with a second bathroom.
The layout includes a double bedroom, a main bathroom on the entrance level, and a separate kitchen. The configuration is simple, readable and highly functional — a key factor for international buyers seeking a second home that does not require complex management.
One of the strongest elements of this property is its operational simplicity combined with rare assets: private parking within the estate and a dedicated boat mooring on the lake. On Lake Como, this combination is increasingly limited and directly impacts both lifestyle value and long-term desirability.
Villa Taverna itself is a historic residence with origins dating back to the 17th century, later expanded and transformed over time into a prestigious lakeside estate. Today it functions as a private residential context with controlled access and a strong sense of discretion.
Torno is one of the most authentic and sought-after villages on the eastern shore of Lake Como, just a short drive from Como town. The area offers quick access to Milan and its international airports, making it suitable for both seasonal use and longer stays.
This is a property defined by position rather than decoration — a true pied dans’eau offering that combines history, direct lake access, and one of the most privileged locations on Lake Como.
