A timeless treasure on Lake Como

Posted on Mon, 26 Jan 2026 by midcenturyjo

Perched in Torno, Lombardy, Villa Ego is a late-1800s beauty reimagined by Galli Cavalcabò with a thoughtful, full-scale redesign, from facade to garden, pool included. Step inside and time politely slips away. Each room feels like a little treasure chest, layered with precious local materials, handcrafted details and art gathered over years of travel. The approach is all about balance: removing what distracted, preserving what mattered. Historic elements quietly tell their stories, while contemporary updates keep life easy. Part home, part personal museum, Villa Ego feels soulful, curated and very much alive.
