There’s so much to love about this home, with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy some quiet time or socialise as a group. But, the standout for us is the view.

Positioned close to the centre of the lakeside town of Cernobbio, this light and spacious apartment keeps good company, a stone's throw from some of Lake Como's most illustrious villas.

The open-plan interior is chic and contemporary, which will appeal to lovers of an uncluttered, minimalist aesthetic. Head through to the two bedrooms and you'll discover that they follow a similar ethos, with gold accents adding a touch of glamour to proceedings.

Step outside and discover Villa Bernasconi just steps away – one of the best examples of Art Nouveau architecture in the whole of Italy. Walk towards the lake and you'll encounter Villa Erba, which is used to host some of the most exclusive events in the world, as well as making cameos in the occasional Hollywood movie. For the outdoorsy types, Cernobbio is the jumping-off point for many picturesque mountain hikes including the eighty-eight mile Via dei Monti Lariani, though you're more than welcome just to do a small section.

The home itself has modern decor, and the open-plan living space sleeps guests three and four on a sofa bed. There’s also a terrace area filled with palms to enjoy the Italian sun. Last but not least, there’s free parking in a private garage – this place is great for exploring Lombardy.

Originally a 17th-century convent, this home boasts a modern touch while still retaining a nod to its past. Consisting of three independent apartments, it’s an ideal base for an extended family or group of friends on an Italian getaway, with space to socialise together and privacy when needed. But the cherry on the cake? For us, it has to be the views over Lake Como. With each apartment boasting a private terrace, you can soak up the lake vistas wherever you are. And, if you can tear yourself away from this hillside sanctuary, there’s a restaurant within walking distance, and charming Cernobbio is a mere four-minute drive away.

This beautiful home was once a convent. It’s been magnificently restored into three apartments, combining modern amenities with original features including terracotta floors, exposed wooden beams, and stone facades. The star of the show is the home’s setting on a hillside just outside of Cernobbio, and the views this provides. Soak in the Finnish hot tub while gazing out at Lake Como, watch ferries cruise by from a sunlounger in the garden, and dine alfresco under the stars. 

Dappled Blue

Nestled just a short drive from Lake Como and the charming town of Cernobbio, this home has tranquillity running through its core. Perfect for a family or group of friends, you’ll find everything needed for a comfortable stay here and a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It’s worth noting that at full occupancy, one guest will sleep on a sofa bed in the loft area of one bedroom – so privacy is limited, but it’s a good option for families. With panoramic views across Lake Como, you’ll soon be itching to explore – hop in the car, and you’ll find yourself lakeside in no time.

In the quiet town of Cernobbio, this bright apartment is just a few steps from the sparkling shore of Lake Como. Walk just two minutes to reach the lakeside, where the town’s cafés and bars offer alfresco views across the water to deep green mountains and you can follow rambling walking routes out of the town. Perhaps hop on the ferry to Bellagio, Menaggio or Varenna – the jetty is just a five-minute walk away.

In the apartment itself, you’ll find clean white walls and long French windows brightening up each room. Dine by the window in the kitchen and throw open the doors to create a Juliet-style balcony looking out over the leafy street below. The old stonework of the building is on display behind the dove-grey sofa and the kitchen units have everything you need for self-catering. That’s if you’re not too busy hitting every trattoria and gelateria in Cernobbio.

The home is spread across two levels with all modern amenities, including a fitness room. Outside, there is a hot tub overlooking the water, a patio for alfresco meals, as well as loungers for relaxing in the sunshine.

Oak Leaves & Stars

Nestled on the slopes of Cernobbio, this apartment stands out even among the celebrated architecture of Lake Como. Housed in a thoughtfully renovated former convent – which dates back to the 17th century, and sits atop quite a steep climb – this home provides stunning views of the lake from its private terrace. Inside you'll find two cosy bedrooms, a bathroom and utility area, and a living room and kitchen area bathed in natural light. Whether you're here for a nearby wedding or to explore this stunning region, you'll be able to get around comfortably, with buses, coaches and ferries passing through the town which is only a half hour walk down the hill.

Convento Terrazza

Private Washing Machine

This hillside home made it into our collection for its breathtaking lake views. And the private balcony is perfectly positioned to make the most of the vistas, whether you’re dining alfresco, or sipping a sundowner. While the traditional decor here may not be to everyone’s tastes, we love the history of this home – dating back to 1608, it was originally a convent. When you’re ready to explore, a four-minute drive will take you to the picturesque lakeside town of Cernobbio – known for its historic villas – where you can enjoy a gelato or eat out at one of the many restaurants.

Do you ever dream of escaping to a remote part of Italy and trading in 
your worries for relaxed, carefree living? Well, it's as if we've plucked this location straight from your reverie. Just a two-minute walk from lovely Lake Como, where peace and quiet reign, and rich green mountains cascade over calming waters, this spot is very desirable.

Our recommendation? Wander down to the charming lake village of Cernobbio, mosey around the shops, cafes and bars, before stopping off for a bowl of fettuccini along the water's edge. Taste local limoncello, perhaps bringing a bottle back to be enjoyed as an aperitivo on your private balcony. If you're looking to explore further afield, hire a boat or join a group trip to the lakeside delights of Bellagio or Varenna for the day. Come back home for a cheese and wine night in the open-plan living space, With a modern kitchen and a sociable layout, it's the perfect spot for group games. Minimal and muted inside, this home's truly enviable location speaks for itself.

This villa has a lot to offer. For starters, the location is fantastic. Cernobbio is right at your fingertips – you're just a ten-minute walk from the town's restaurants, lakefront promenade, historic villas, and ferry port. The private pool back home is perfect for an evening dip, while the traditional living area is the definition of cosy. Our favourite spot to unwind is in the sunroom, a glass of wine in one hand and a good book in another. All the bedrooms are comfortable, though one lacks air conditioning, and two others have small double beds. There's also an office for remote workers, an outdoor table for alfresco dining, and private parking for exploring Lake Como with ease.

This contemporary apartment is only a five-minute stroll from the centre of Cernobbio. Shops, bars, restaurants – you name it, you can reach it on foot with ease. Location aside, what caught our eye here were the spectacular views of the surrounding Como Pre-Alps mountains. Thanks to a glass wall, you can enjoy them from the living area. Or, even better, admire the scenery while savouring a cocktail on the private balcony. The rest of the apartment is bright, comfortable, and modern in design. We think it makes a great base for a couple keen to explore Lake Como.

Como Contemporary

Hello beautiful – the name says it all. This home bolsters stunning views of Italy’s idyllic Lake Como. At the heart of this dreamy apartment is a spectacular veranda terrace that will have you pinching yourself as you look out across the lake. Stylishly furnished, this home is as resplendent inside as it is outside, benefitting from calming open spaces bathed in natural light that are well suited for small gatherings with friends or family. Wake up and enjoy an al fresco breakfast on the terrace as you watch the sun rise over the water. We can think of nothing better than sitting back with a good book on one of the loungers and listening to the busy streets of Como below as you bask in the heat and sip cocktails above. Make the most of the location and arrange a sailing or boat tour along the river – a ten-minute walk down the road. Enjoy a scoop of gelato as you meander through the pretty avenues and gardens, and be sure to explore the city’s architectural landmarks and historical sights. Throw all that in with a loaf of focaccia and a glass of vino Rosso and you've got yourself the perfect Italian getaway.

Perched by Lake Como, this villa caught our eye thanks to its beautiful surroundings – best enjoyed from the infinity pool or terrace. Inside, sliding doors connect the open living space to the outdoor area, where you'll find sun loungers, a dining table, and a barbecue. Spread over four floors with an internal lift, there's also a fully equipped home gym, complete with a sauna and spa shower. Upstairs, two of the bedrooms benefit from sweeping lake views, and there's a study area for those working remotely. And, when you're ready to explore, it's just a short drive from the city of Como – the villa also comes with garage parking.

Paid Parking

Immerse yourself in the views of Lake Como from this apartment’s terrace. Inside, the well-designed open-plan living space has a modern kitchen, and the lounge area has a sofa bed for guest three. Another highlight of this home is its location – you’ll be within walking distance of many of the city of Como’s attractions, including Palazzo del Broletto, Giardini Tempio Voltiano and the cathedral. Or let the host arrange a boat trip to see some of the surrounding towns and villages from the water.

Lake & City View

Tucked away in the centre of Como's charming old town, this superb apartment surprises and delights with an extraordinary blend of ornate original features and cutting-edge design to create a unique and luxurious offering on the edge of northern Italy's most prestigious lake.

The owners have poured their heart and soul into a sympathetic restoration that makes a deliberate feature of some of the more patinated interior elements. In particular, double-height, frescoed ceilings draw the eye upward in the spacious and comfortable living room with beautiful mouldings on the walls and its two gorgeous bedrooms – undoubtedly the home's standout rooms.

The city of Como is a fantastic place to base yourself to explore some of the small lakeside settlements. It boasts a vibrant atmosphere, outstanding eateries and bougie boutiques, all within a stone's throw of your front door. Stroll a short distance to the harbour, where local ferries depart for the likes of Bellagio, Varenna and Menaggio. In addition, active types might want to head into the mountains for scenic hikes, where each turn reveals ever more spectacular views.

Como Crystal

This perfectly located home is an excellent base in Como. Comprising two apartments, on the second and third floors of the building, this home is ideal for two families looking to travel together comfortably. Each apartment has a kitchen and living space, so you’ll have plenty of room for downtime. Depart on boat tours of Lake Como from just 350 metres away, and explore nearby towns and cities – San Giovanni train station is just 600 metres away. There are restaurants and bars close by, making this a practical choice.

This historic home, owned by a Swiss noble family, is nestled on the shores of Lake Como. It’s a luxurious, unforgettable retreat, with sun-drenched terraces and lakefront gardens. The private pool and Jacuzzi look out onto Lake Como, which you can explore by boat thanks to the private dock. The sophisticated villa is full of antiques and curated artwork, with a splendid double living room that opens to the gardens and those mesmerising lake views. Warm and inviting, this home blends timeless elegance and modern comfort. 

Como Bliss

Parking On Street

Modern, bright and beautiful as it is, nothing's going to beat the outdoor area here. With ample seating, including an alfresco dining table under a flowering pergola, looking out over the glistening lake, you can see why this one made our collection. We also like the bathtub facing the door so you can even admire the views from inside. Because of the perched location of this home, you'll have to climb steps up to it, but it'll all be worth it for the breathtaking panorama of Lake Como. Speak to your host about boat trips, helicopter rides and more.

The Lake

If you’ve ever fleetingly imagined another life for yourself – drinking espresso in your stylish Italian apartment as the sun streams in through the tall windows, maybe – then welcome to your Como abode. Framed by wooden shutters, the wonderful huge windows define every room, letting light dapple over the beautiful parquet floor. Period and contemporary pieces blend to give this home its tasteful yet welcoming feel – see the wooden dining table with accompanying designer chairs. And with air conditioning and an in-home washing machine, there’s no compromise on functionality. The huge living space is great for hanging out after a day of sightseeing, and we love the super squishy corner sofa. Crucially, the home is right in the heart of the pedestrian part of the city. You're right next to Palazzo Garibaldi, and plenty of restaurants, shops, bars. It's a short walk to the waterfront promenade too – we've taken longer to polish off a gelato. 


Bella Luce

If you’re searching for somewhere you can just drop off your bags and head straight out to explore, this could be the home for you. Nestled in the heart of Como, this home has elegance running through its core. Ideal for a small family or group of friends, this apartment is kitted out with everything for a relaxing stay. But, the cherry on top for us is the location. Mere steps from the Duomo and the tranquil shores of Lake Como, ticking off the city’s hotspots is easy here. 

Como Calling

Situated just a stone's throw away from beautiful Lake Como, this apartment is ideal for a relaxing break. We love the barrel-vaulted ceilings here and there’s a side view of the lake and a bright living room which sleeps guests three and four on a sofa bed. The location is great for strolls along the shore and the funicular to the village of Brunate is nearby, making exploring easy. This home is also very close to the centre of Como with its shops, restaurants, and landmarks.

Lake Como Elegance

Set in the village of Brunate, this home offers wonderful views of Lake Como from its large terrace. Inside this apartment is impressive too with its high ceilings in the open-plan living space – there’s a second living area on the mezzanine too. Location-wise, there are a variety of local eateries and artisan shops or take a ride over to the city of Como where you’ll find an array of attractions. Or you can immerse yourself in nature with the many hiking trails through the forests here.

Brunate Vista

Welcome to this scenic home in Moltrasio. With sweeping views of Lake Como, you couldn't ask for a more perfect setting. Stretch out on sun loungers and tuck into an alfresco dinner, all while admiring the glistening lake. Indoors, you'll find a well-appointed kitchen and a comfortable living. We think it works well as a family base, as the third bedroom has bunk beds that are ideal for little ones. When you're ready for adventure, hop in the car and drive to Como, Cernobbio, and Argegno – all less than twenty minutes away.

Melody of the Water

Located on a picturesque square in the centre of Como, this apartment is a playful mixture of tradition and modernity. You only have to look at the sleek kitchen island sitting underneath wooden ceiling beams, or the stone basin in an otherwise contemporarily styled bathroom to see what we mean.

The stark white walls, large windows and generous amount of space make the interior feel light and airy. However, if opening the shutters isn't quite cooling enough for you, there's always the option of stepping out onto the home's private terrace, which has a corner bench on which to enjoy warm summer evenings.

There are plenty of wine bars and restaurants in the adjoining square and the surrounding streets, but perhaps the most important thing to note is that the southern bank of Lake Como can be reached in barely a minute's walk. From this excellent position, it's so easy to fill your days with boat trips, mountain rambles and dips in the crystalline waters.



A Month by the Lake

A reflection of the rich, diverse culture of Italy, this attic-style home is a seamless union of modern minimalism and traditional opulence. Rustic stone walls, warm wooden beams and flooring are contrasted with cool whites and neutral-toned furniture, creating an ambience that’s just as sprightly as it is calming. The upper-level living area leads out to a cosy terrace with vistas of Como’s magnificent landscape, while a chandelier elegantly illuminates a dining area that’s ideal for a homemade feast. You’ll always be inclined to start your mornings with a soak in the master bathroom as the luxurious gold fittings will leave you feeling like you’re in a milk bath fit for royalty. And it’s tranquility inside and out with this home, as the sandy beaches lining the shores of Lake Como are just a short walk away. 

Timber Creek

Tailor-made for two, this chic apartment promises a relaxing stay in Como. As you’d expect with a studio, space is limited here, but you’ll find everything needed for a comfortable stay. And the cherry on top for us is the outdoor space. Soak up the sun as you dine alfresco, kick back on a lounger with your holiday read, or simply drink in the views across Como and the lake. Location-wise, you’re mere minutes from the historic city centre and Lake Como, so whether you’re sightseeing, shopping or planning a meal out, this home will tick all your boxes. 

Como Classic

Just a short stroll from the lake, this apartment brings you to the magical heart of Como. You’ll find everything you could on the doorstep with an abundant selection of shops, restaurants and cafes in the neighbourhood. The train station is also a short walk away and there is paid parking available nearby. It’s worth noting the apartment is set across two floor with stairs, but you will find plenty of space to stretch out and unwind with a cosy living room and three snug bedrooms. 

Como Comfort

Pool / Snooker Table

Nestled on the hillside in Como, this villa serves up panoramic lake and mountain views that you’ll never tire of. Set across four floors, there’s plenty of space for an extended family or group of friends to spread out here, or come together to socialise. With a private gym, hot tub, and games area, you’ll find plenty to occupy your time, too. Keen to explore further? Hop in the car – it’s a short drive to Como and Cernobbio, where fine Italian eateries and adventures on the lake await. 

The Lake of Love

Wheelchair Access

You couldn't dream up a better location for this sophisticated apartment perched right in the heart of Como's ancient streets and just a stroll away from the lakeside for aperitivo cocktails and people-watching. The living area and small balcony for two will feel snug if four of you are sharing, and there's not much of a view other than a glimpse of the neighbouring neoclassical facades. But we can let that slide for the rest of the home's sleek interiors and Juliet balcony windows which flood the space with natural light.

A Taste of Italy

Beautiful Lake Como is just 100 metres from this home, while other attractions nearby include the pretty Giardini del Tempio Voltiano with its museum, just over a five-minute walk away. Or head to Como Cathedral and Basilica di San Fedele – both are around five minutes on foot. There are a variety of cafés and restaurants for lunch on your doorstep, or head back to this elegant apartment. 

Open up the French doors to the Juliet balcony and take a seat on the comfy sofa to rest your feet for a while. We love the living room with its polished wood floors and vases of cream flowers. Whip up an insalata caprese in the modern kitchen and enjoy it at your dining table next to the wall adorned with giant cutlery. This home is the perfect retreat for a couple or solo traveller looking for easy access to the lake.


Lake Song

Valet Parking

Italy’s greatest lake, without a doubt, is Lago di Como. And with little wonder. Even before a certain George Clooney made it a superstar destination, its spring climate, water that ripples like silk, spectacular architecture and medieval cobbled-street towns have always been popular. So much so that it can be hard to find somewhere to escape the hubbub. But tucked away in Como, on the southern shores of the lake, waits this historic coach house apartment. It is a gloriously rustic oasis, with exposed stone walls and ancient wooden beams in the ceiling that add character. The styling of the home is simple and elegant – white walls, bedding and furniture create a calming feel, and the odd pop of pastel colours (from the blue table lamp and peach coloured cushions) add a dash of warmth. The kitchen is a foodie’s dream, with its brand-new stainless steel appliances, and clear perspex Eames chairs add a contemporary feel around the reclaimed wooden dining table. And if you want to eat out, you’re only moments away from the lake and the trattorias of Como. Well, you are in Italy after all.

Calm in Como

Lake Como days are all about living life – Italian style. That means you get to stay in your very own historic building located just seven minutes walk away from one of the most stunning lakes in the world.

Relax and unwind in your comfortable apartment. In the morning, potter around at your leisure before heading out for the day.

Visit the famous Como Cathedral constructed in the 14th Century then head over to the Como Archaeological Museum in Palazzo Giovio. At the water's edge, take the funicular up to the charming town of Brunate where you'll revel in jaw-dropping views of the lake. Later in the afternoon, go on an unforgettable woodland walk to the Baroque Villa Balbianello, where you'll sit on the terrace with gelato and admire the views of Vergonese and Bellagio off in the distance – we loved making memories that will last a lifetime.
