Como's most celebrated new high-end property is this lakeside blockbuster, located near the sleepy village of Torno. Elegant lines and a bold modern design make a fine counterpoint to the gorgeous setting framed by lake and mountain views. The 30 lavish suites feature top Italian-made furniture, and dramatic flourishes (including a vertical garden made of 130-plus plant species) are sprinkled throughout the property.
It's all the work of the Spanish-born Patricia Urquiola, one of Milan's foremost designers.
