Thanks to its proximity to the Mercurago Lagoons Park and the Borromean Islands, the guest house suits both those looking for relaxation by the lake and those wanting to explore the surroundings among castles, nature reserves and small villages. Free private parking and a quiet location complete an offering especially appreciated by couples, who rate the location a remarkable 9.4.
The rooms at Il Torchio come in five different types, designed to suit different needs while sharing some common features: air conditioning, private bathroom, flat-screen TV with streaming services and an electric kettle are present in every room. The two Double Rooms, both 25 sqm, offer a French double bed and represent the most classic option for two guests, while the Double/Twin Room, more compact at 16 sqm, offers a flexible configuration between a double bed and two single beds.
Those looking for more space can opt for the 35 sqm Suite, with a separate lounge and garden view, or the 50 sqm Apartment, the largest solution, equipped with a fully-fitted kitchenette, dining area and parquet flooring, perfect for families or extended stays.
The most compact of the property’s rooms, at just 16 sqm, stands out for its adjustable bed configuration: a French double bed or two separate single beds, ideal for couples with different needs. Equipped with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with streaming services and a private bathroom, it is the most basic yet functional option in the offer.
With a private entrance and 35 sqm of space, the Suite is the only room with a lounge separate from the sleeping area. The windows overlook the garden and inner courtyard, while the private bathroom features a shower and bidet. The sofa bed in the living room makes it suitable for a third guest, clearly setting it apart from the property’s standard double rooms.
Larger than the Double/Twin Room, this 25 sqm room has a private entrance, a detail that sets it apart from the property’s other double rooms. The private bathroom is complete with shower, bidet and hairdryer, while the furnishings include a wardrobe and electric kettle for maximum independence.
Matching the previous double room in size, this version has a more streamlined layout, without an independent entrance, and is designed for those seeking an essential accommodation that still comes with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a private en-suite bathroom.
The largest solution in the property, with 50 sqm spread across a living room, a separate bedroom and a bathroom with shower. The kitchen, equipped with a hob, refrigerator and microwave, together with the parquet flooring and dining area, makes it the only truly self-contained option for families or extended stays.
