Lake Como seems to lap at the terrace of this grande dame of a villa in Torno. The estate has stood in the shadow of the mountains for centuries, but its style of lakeside living is timeless—think lunches under the pergola and aperitivo by the water. Stroll into the pedestrian area of Torno for shopping and dining.

Watch boats ply the water and clouds move across the hills from a perch on the sofa in the alfresco living area, take a few refreshing laps in the swimming pool, and pause for a drink or snack at an ambience-heavy outdoor dining area that’s nestled into a rock face and shaded by vines.

Three stories of Romantic style might sweep you off your feet with high ceilings, tall windows, and a statement-making Carrara marble staircase. Pretend you’re on a 19th-century grand tour of Europe as you sip wine on velour sofas in the living rooms or sit down to dinner around a table for 16—or remember that you’re in the 21st century in the fully equipped, professional-grade kitchen.

Walk into the nearby town of Torno for dinner at a waterfront restaurant or to wind your way up the hill amid the red-roofed houses. Drive or boat to Como for a day trip to its churches and museums, and don’t miss the funicular ride for sweeping bird’s-eye views of the lake.
