Discover Como whilst staying at The Best View Apartment
From Torno, you can set out to explore Como—with its cathedral, the squares of the historic center, and the lakeside promenade—or spend a day visiting the lakeside villages. Nesso offers intimate views around the Orrido gorge and the Ponte della Civera bridge, while Bellagio invites you to stroll through its narrow streets, stairways, and gardens. On the opposite shore, Cernobbio combines a stroll along the Riva with the architecture of its villas.
The landscape also changes as you climb higher: Brunate and the scenic trails in the surrounding area allow you to view the lake from a different perspective. You can devote your stay to art and history, choose nature walks, or alternate hikes with more leisurely days spent between the small harbor and the streets of Torno. Our guides will help you explore each destination and select the stops to include in your itinerary.
We’ll be delighted to help you organise the perfect stay, responding to all your requests with attention, helpfulness and an eye for detail.
