The banks of Blevio are characterized by a multitude of historic villas, currently used as residential complexes, hotels or private structures. These beautiful examples of architecture are mostly visible from the lake. Among the most famous villas in Blevio, there is what is now the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, originally the villa of a famous opera singer of the 1800s.
Torno is one of the many characteristic villages of Lake Como, less known than Bellagio or Varenna, and therefore suitable for those who want to enjoy a very local experience. On the shores of Torno stands one of the most impressive villas on the lake, Villa Pliniana, a villa from the 1500s, now used for events and weddings. The villa cannot be visited inside but you can enjoy its beauty by approaching it on board a private boat.
