- Villa Pliniana - Villa Pliniana is a magnificent and enigmatic historic residence located in Torno, nestled in a secluded inlet of Lake Como.

It is particularly famous for its spectacular floating pool on the lake and the atmosphere of refined and exclusive tranquility.

It is a deep and narrow rocky gorge where the Tuf and Nosè streams converge, cascading between the rocks with a thunderous waterfall that flows directly into the lake waters. This enchanting canyon is overlooked by the romantic Ponte della Civera, an ancient stone donkey-backed bridge offering a breathtaking view, so picturesque that it captivated Leonardo da Vinci, who mentioned it in his Codex Atlanticus.

The estate is a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture, surrounded by a centuries-old park where a magnificent mosaic nymphaeum stands out, and is famous for its distinctive floating pool that seems to merge seamlessly with the lake waters.

Today, with its majestic frescoed rooms and impressive architecture, it serves as a prestigious convention center and a sought-after film set, chosen even by Hollywood for famous films such as Ocean’s Twelve.
