Villa Braga sits along the western shore of Lake Como, within walking distance of the village of Torno. Built in the early 19th century, this waterfront property descends through terraced gardens towards its own private dock, where the lake meets the villa's grounds at the water's edge. The estate accommodates guests across generous living spaces arranged over multiple levels, with an atmosphere that reflects 2 centuries of careful stewardship.
Como lies approximately 10 minutes by car, Milan around an hour. The lakeside towns of Bellagio, Tremezzo, Varenna, and Menaggio are all within easy reach by road or—more fittingly—by water, with private boats able to moor directly at the villa's dock for day trips across the lake. A gated private pathway connects the property to Torno on foot, providing discreet access to the village's restaurants and shops whilst maintaining the estate's seclusion.
The interior is warm and considered, with furnishings that pair period character with contemporary comfort across spacious living areas. 2 fully equipped kitchens serve both everyday meals and larger gatherings. A gym area and games room provide entertainment for the whole family. An elevator is available on site, primarily for luggage, though guests should note that the villa's multi-level design includes stairs throughout and may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility or very young children. The property is looked after by on-site guardians who live in a separate house at street level, ensuring the villa is well maintained and that guests' needs are attended to promptly.
The terraced gardens descend towards the lake through lush flower beds, with a natural waterfall and walkable bridge creating a sequence of quiet moments as the grounds unfold. The swimming pool commands views across the water, with pool heating available from April through October. An outdoor kitchen with barbecue and pizza oven is positioned for al fresco dining against the lake backdrop, making the grounds well suited for celebrations and larger events.
