The Lombardy / Lake Como Area
Quoting Percy Bysshe Shelley “This lake exceeds anything I ever beheld in beauty, with the exception of the arbutus islands of Killarney. It is long and narrow, and has the appearance of a mighty river winding among the mountains and the forests”.
Torno area
Torno lies just a few km along the road from Como to Bellagio and it's a real pearl of the lake.
Monuments you can't miss are Santa Tecla, San Giovanni and Villa Pliniana, while Monte Piatto is perfect for relaxing hikes.
Life there is just amazing: there's nothing better than a glass of wine at Bat Italia, just before a nice dinner or after a boat trip on the lake. The atmosphere is relaxed end enjoyable, moreover all you need is just a few steps far from the house.
A place I simply love.
