Situated a stone’s throw from Lake Como and within walking distance of the charming town of Lierna, this apartment guarantees peace and quiet for a small family or close-knit group of friends. The living space and main bedroom benefit from views of the water, and if you want to get a closer look, we recommend heading down to the communal garden and swimming pool. Keen to put your feet up as soon as you arrive? Your host provides a welcome pack as an optional add-on.

This villa overlooks the town of Bellagio and enjoys stunning mountain views. The kitchen and certain bathrooms might be a little dated, but the range of amenities makes this home great for families or couples. The wine cellar is well-stocked and the home gym is well-equipped, while the sauna and private pool offer fun and relaxation for all ages. Topping it all off is the private pool with sweeping views of Lake Como. We love this location not only for its beauty but for its practicality – you'll want a car for ease of getting around, but it's only a two-minute drive to the nearest restaurants and shops.

This elegant historic villa stands on the shores of Lake Como, just a short drive from Bellagio. The fantastic lakeside location makes it perfect for exploring, whether by private boat or using public ferries. The villa is spread over three floors, with plenty of space for a large group – there’s even a sauna and a games room. We love the private pool, which sits amid the centuries-old trees of the pretty gardens. When the sun starts to lower in the sky, fire up the barbecue and feast alfresco looking out at the lake. Bliss.

With an infinity pool and panoramic views of Lake Como, this home sets the stage for an unforgettable stay. You can enjoy the vistas from the garden and several balconies, as well as from most rooms inside. One of the interior highlights here is the second-floor bathroom with its freestanding tub offering yet more panoramas over the lake. There’s a gym here too ensuring you maintain your fitness regime while away (if you want). This villa is situated in Bellagio, with its historic gardens of Villa Melzi and Villa Serbelloni. You can also ask your host to organise the hire of a classic car or a chartered boat to explore the area more.

Perched on a promontory that juts out into Lake Como, this villa provides guests with plenty of opportunity to look out over stunning lakeside vistas, backgrounded by the mighty Alps. Below, the quaint village of Bellagio invitingly reveals its cobbled streets and elegant lakeside villas, completing the panoramic views.

The villa doesn’t just offer views, though. Its heated swimming pool allows you to see snowy mountain caps in perfect comfort, and inside you’ll be able to build up a sweat in your own private gym and Turkish sauna. 
In the evenings, once you’ve caught the sunset over Lake Como, you might want to make your way down into your wine cellar and enjoy the finest local wines, or head into Bellagio and sample its fantastic foods.

Although the villa offers tranquillity, you’re not far from the city either. Its location allows for short drives to cities like Milan, Bergamo, and Como, and you can also enjoy making the short trip across the border into Switzerland to visit Lugano.

The villa’s excellent location also invites you to enjoy hikes and boat trips around the lake, along with other outdoor activities such as tennis and golf.

Tri Lake Serenity

Free Parking

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.

Outdoor Pool

A dream destination, this 19th-century lakeside villa couldn’t be closer to the shores of Lake Como. Enjoy views of the lake from inside and out, thanks to large windows and a beautiful garden complete with a fish pond and a private heated pool. We love the style of this home; it’s classy and stylish, while also being wonderfully comfortable – though it is spread over four floors. Boat trips exploring Lake Como are a breeze thanks to the private dock – also great for those wanting a refreshing dip. You’ll be within walking distance of restaurants and shops, and can visit Cernobbio in no time.

Balcony

This home is in the ideal spot for exploring Lake Como. You’re just a five minute stroll from the main attraction – the lake itself – and Duomo di Como, the town’s historic cathedral. And for adventures further afield, the train station is a short walk away. The home itself is on the fourth floor – don’t worry, there’s a lift – and boasts a sociable open-plan living area, and a small, private balcony overlooking a majestic magnolia tree. We think this place is ready-made for a family or small group of friends wanting a fuss-free stay in a central location.

Magnolia Tree View

Rain Shower

Rooftop Terrace

This contemporary apartment is located in Via Tommaso Grossi in Como, offering panoramic views of the city and lake from the communal rooftop terrace. We love the sleek interiors of this home, which provides a comfortable stay for a family or group of friends. Just note – as a party of five, two people will draw the short straw and sleep on the sofa bed in the living room. Still, it’s a sacrifice we’d be willing to make for this pad’s enviable location. If the views tempt you out for a meander, you’ll find Como at your feet just waiting to be explored.

If you’re looking for a home with a view, then how about this apartment, which has captivating Lake Como vistas from its small balcony? Inside, the open-plan living space sleeps two guests on a sofa bed at full capacity. We love the outlook from the dining table here, too – at this home, you can create wonderful memories. Set in the town of Menaggio with its lakeside promenade, you’ll have plenty to occupy your time or go for a scenic hike in the nearby mountains. With its fantastic location, this apartment is the perfect retreat.

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.

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

Desk / Workplace

Arrive in style at this lakeside property on board a resplendent Riva speedboat, thanks to its private jetty. Disembark and step inside to discover a spacious and stylish open-plan living area and kitchen, kitted out with all the culinary accoutrements you might need to whip up delicious homemade meals, just like nonna used to make.

From the living room, not only will you enjoy access to a private balcony through two sets of French doors, but also awe-inspiring panoramic views capable of bringing a tear to the eye. The soothing atmosphere of the bedrooms will help you relax after your journey, while there's a good amount of storage space so you can unpack and settle in. The main bedroom even finds room for a desk and enjoys access to an en-suite shower room.

When you're not sunbathing and swimming in the lake, explore the surrounding village of Laglio. With slopes full of vineyards and olive groves, and pastel-coloured villas, it's one of the most elegant lakeside locations. But don't take our word for it. George Clooney purchased his nearby eighteenth-century estate back in 2002 and still returns multiple times a year, some two decades later.

Ocean's Eleven

One glance at those Lake Como views and you'll fall in love with this cosy and romantic flat. There's nothing better than sitting around the dining table, sipping wine, nibbling on antipasti and watching the water ebb and flow out the window. Later on, snuggle up on the cushy sofas with a book or get comfortable in the bedrooms, resting up for an adventure-filled day. The design is a delightful mishmash of mid-century modern, classic Italian character and clean, contemporary style. Although it's compact, the cheery yellow kitchen is sure to put a smile on your face as you're rustling up breakfast, and with two showers, you won't have to worry about queuing in the mornings.

Location-wise, Carate Urio has oodles of old-world charm and an authentic, local atmosphere. Enjoy a cappuccino right by the water, then sprawl out on the small beach for a spot of sunbathing and swimming. In the evenings, stroll along the steeped, winding lanes in the village before grabbing a bite to eat at the traditional restaurants. And when you fancy exploring further afield, catch the ferry from Urio's dock (only a short walk away) to travel to Como.

By the Light of 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

This apartment will be an irresistible option for those in search of impressive views of Lake Como. The central location is equally appealing – making it easy to walk to the nearest beach (Molo di sotto), set sail on boat trips and savour delicious Italian meals in local restaurants. Back at home, you can unwind on the little balcony or in the living room. At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed, but this is a great option for families in search of simplicity and comfort. Children’s amenities can be provided and your host can help organise extras like breakfast and housekeeping.

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.

Lake Love Letters

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

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

Overlooking Piazza Volta, this apartment has a prime location. You’ll be a short stroll from the lake and many of the city’s attractions. One of the main highlights of this apartment is the vistas from the bedrooms overlooking the lake. There’s also a desk in the main bedroom if you need to work while away. We love the two small balconies as well – perfect for enjoying the atmosphere of the piazza. This is the place to book to experience the heart of the city.


Lago Vita

This collection of three apartments in Como is perfect for a group of friends or a large family travelling together. Four guests can be accommodated in each apartment, with two guests on a sofa bed in the living space. There’s a kitchen in each apartment, though with such a central location, you’ll have plenty of restaurants to choose from nearby. The shores of Lake Como are a ten-minute walk away, as is the cathedral. Your host can arrange all kinds of luxurious extras to make your stay all the more memorable, from boat charters to personal shoppers.

Nice to haves

The views of Lake Como from this home are simply gorgeous – we could sit on the balcony here gazing out over the gently rippling water to the mountains for hours. You can enjoy the incredible vistas from the terrace too, where you can relax on the sun loungers or dine alfresco. Whip up some tortelli di zucca in the sleek, dove grey kitchen for dinner. On chilly evenings gather around the fire or get some rest in the stylish bedrooms with their ornate wallpaper. 

Situated in Argegno, there are a range of eateries within a five-minute walk. Further afield, the alpine city of Lecco, with its splendid Basilica di San Nicolò, is eleven minutes in the car. Or walk the trails of the stunning Monte Barro Regional Park, a sixteen-minute drive from this lovely home.

Luxury Toiletries

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

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. 

The Essence of Como

Nestled in a little pocket of Como, this elegant home is the perfect romantic getaway. From the cheerful exterior of the historic building to the little touches in the interior, great care and attention has been put into this abode. Take in the staggering views of beautiful Lake Como as you sip a coffee beside the large windows. Set the dining table in the relaxing living space and treat your other half to traditional spaghetti aglio e olio cooked up in your streamlined kitchenette. But if you’d rather hang up your chef’s apron and leave it to the professionals, sample Como’s glorious selection of restaurants and indulge in romantic dinners by the water, just a fifteen-minute stroll from your doorstep. Spend balmy afternoons exploring the town centre or hike up to the Monte Croce – it’ll take you just over an hour but the views are well worth it.

Como Charm

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

Sightseeing is a breeze at this apartment in the heart of Como. Whether you're keen to explore on foot or head out on the water, you couldn't ask for a better position in the town. But aside from the setting, we love how bright, cosy, and comfortable this apartment is. It seamlessly blends the traditional with the modern – think exposed brick fireplace, stained glass windows, and terracotta floors. The cherry on top is the private terrace, where you can sit with a glass of wine and enjoy the evening sunshine.

Effortlessly elegant and ideally located in Piazza Guido Grimoldi – right in the heart of Como – this apartment is a treat for those looking for a comfortable, central stay. 

From its glossy parquet floors to its double-height ceilings and pared-back contemporary decor, there’s a feeling of simple sophistication here that perfectly reflects the distinctly grand building in which this home is housed. 

Open up the living room’s French doors to step out onto the private piazza-facing balcony – the ideal spot to enjoy an early morning espresso or an evening spritz at sundown. When it’s time for bed, both bedrooms wait to drift you into a peaceful night’s sleep, ensuring you feel rested and ready for another day of adventure upon waking.

Speaking of fun, ask your host to organise a boat tour of Lake Como or a local wine tasting and cooking class. Alternatively, head out to discover Como’s picturesque streets on foot, with Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta a two-minute walk away, Basilica di San Fedele a five-minute stroll and Tempio Voltiano walkable in ten.

Located on the edge of Lake Como, this historic home welcomes you to an atmospheric waterfront escape. Combining tradition and contemporary comfort, the rooms are well suited to groups in search of ease and relaxation. Highlights include the sweet little balcony and the views, plus your host can arrange welcome packs and housekeeping. It’s worth noting the stairs do not have a handrail so this may not be the best option for families with young children, but you will find this is a great base for a lakeside adventure. From here, it’s a short stroll to cafes, bars and restaurants, while the ferry is just 400 metres away.

Set within the grounds of the owner’s home, this charming villa brings you the best of Italy. Comfortable for a family or group of friends, you’ll find everything needed for a relaxing stay here, but the icing on the cake for us is the outdoor space. Sun-kissed terraces, alfresco dining opportunities and views across Lake Como – what’s not to love? If you can tear yourself away, live like a local in ​​Tremezzo where pizzerias and authentic Italian food awaits. And of course, a trip out on Lake Como itself is a must – it’s the perfect place to soak up the scenery. 

A Breath of Nature

We love the vistas over Lake Como from this apartment’s Juliet balconies in the living room and bedroom. On a practical note, the living area can get a bit cramped if four guests stay, as two will be sleeping on a sofa bed here. Also, the kitchenette doesn’t have an oven or much food preparation space, so it’s best suited to making snacks and light meals. Luckily, there are a couple of eateries nearby. This home is situated in Carate Urio on the western shore of Lake Como, with lots of residential villas. If you fancy going on a boat trip to explore Lake Como’s other towns, take a ten-minute walk to Urio’s dock.

The Cosy Lakeview Hideaway

If you’re seeking the kind of serenity that comes from enjoying far-reaching views across a glassy lake, this could be the home for you. As you’d expect with a studio, space is limited here, but it’s a cosy place for two. And, step out into the garden, and you can while away the hours drinking in the vistas over a bottle of wine. The kitchenette is ideal for basic food, but for a substantial meal full of authentic Italian flavours, head to one of the many local restaurants in Laglio for a dinner to remember.

Lake Dreams

With a glimpse of Lake Como, this bright apartment is perfect for couples, families, or business travellers looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay. The open-plan living space has a small kitchenette, and this room also sleeps one guest on a sofa bed. Situated in the town of Carate Urio, you’ll be just a few steps away from shops and there are plenty of restaurants here as well as a small lakeside beach. This home is also just a two-minute walk from bus and ferry stops, making exploring cities like Como, Bellagio, and Tremezzo easy.
