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.

Well, those views of Lake Como say it all, don’t they? But if you need more reasons to stay at this elegant villa, then maybe the swimming pool will clinch it. Or perhaps the home spa with its Jacuzzi, sauna and massage room. We love the vistas from the various balconies and terraces too. Inside, there’s plenty of room to entertain in this home which is on three levels. Located on the southwest shore of Lake Como, you can enjoy activities such as water skiing and windsurfing or explore the nearby town of Cernobbio.

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

Safe

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.

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. Whether you’re drinking in the lake vistas from the indoor or outdoor space, it’s something you’ll never tire of. And, when the scenery pulls you in, it’s a mere four-minute drive to town and the lake, where delicious Italian eateries and adventures await.

Single-Level Home

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.

Lake Love Letters

Parking On Premises

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

Paid Parking On Street

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.

A vision of romance right on the edge of Lake Como, this beautiful apartment is ready to sweep you into your very own Italian love story. 

Housed within a stunning historic villa surrounded by botanical gardens and wonderfully manicured grounds, there’s no better place to relax, unwind and feel the magic of Lombardy’s loveliest landscape. 

Inside your home, bamboo parquet floors, terracotta-hued walls and a blend of antique and contemporary furnishings create an idyllic welcome with a beautiful winding staircase leading up to a mezzanine floor. 

You’ll immediately be drawn to the sets of French doors that lead out onto a private terrace. Undoubtedly the home’s highlight, start your morning here over espressos while taking in the dramatic views of the lake and the surrounding mountains, and end the night with a glass of wine as the sunset shimmers on the water’s calm surface. 

Stairs here lead down to the water should you want to take a dip in the lake, while the villa’s magnificent gardens boast a secret pathway that takes you to medieval Torno’s centre in fifteen minutes. Your host can also organise boat trips for you. With Como also just a fifteen-minute drive from your, there’s no end to the magical memories in store. 


Terrazza Torno

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

Balcony / Patio

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. 

Lakeside Sanctuary

Private Washing Machine

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

Bicycles

This unique home might be just as impressive as it’s surroundings. Perched on the edge of Lake Como, you’ll be welcomed by mesmerising views, a private pool and plenty of character. There’s also a wonderful shaded terrace with a barbecue – perfect for magical sunset meals. Inside, the rooms are an art lovers dream with Art Nouveau style furnishings blending seamlessly with contemporary comforts. You can admire the lake while lounging in the bedrooms – most of which have access to balconies. It’s also extremely well-connected. From here, you can take boat trips, wander into Torno or adventure further afield towards Como. 

Como's Jewel

This studio apartment puts Lake Como on your doorstep. You can wake up to the sound of the water, then pad out to the small patio to enjoy coffee with a view. In terms of size, it's not the largest home, but it is stylish. There's a small kitchenette – not the best for large meals but well-suited to snacks – as well as a comfortable bed and a couple of armchairs. You'll be based in the small town of Carate Urio, where cobblestone streets lead to scenic trails and local amenities. Como, Bellagio, and Menaggio are also within driving distance when you're keen to explore.

Carate Daze

Resort Access

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.

Lakeside Promenade

Paid Parking

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

Ice Machine

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. 

Luminous Lake

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

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

Ceiling Fans

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

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

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 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. 

A Picture of Como

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. 

Sapphire Lake

Live like an Italian noble, right on the water of Lake Como, at this grand old dame of a villa. Take a water taxi across the lake to all the charming waterfront villages and return to your private dock below the terrace. If you’d rather explore on foot, your local town of Torno has pizzerias, pretty squares and cafes to keep you going. Or, simply admire the hills that flank Lake Como from the privacy of your sprawling, waterfront terrace. A dining table beneath the twisting vine of a pergola provides the alfresco dining spot and the piece de resistance is the plunge-style swimming pool for a cooling dip. Outdoor sofas, chairs and loungers are scattered across the terrace, so there’s no problem finding a spot to watch the sunset, cold drink in hand. 

Within the villa, you’ve got three grand lounges to choose from, allowing the group to spread out in style. Seclude yourself away in the light-filled lounge with arched old windows looking out over the lake, or retire to the dusky violet and velvet purple lounge for a glass of red by the marble fireplace. There’s also a family snug for a more casual evening on comfy sofas. A long atrium of glass walls is home to one of the sunniest games rooms we’ve seen – with a library of books, ping pong and foosball. Each bedroom has its own style, from vast spaces sunlit by French windows to cosy, book-filled nooks. Every wrought-iron bed, old writing bureau and botanical prints feel as though it’s been carefully curated for each room.    

The Marquis' View

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

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

This home has bagged itself a prime spot on the shores of Lake Como. And with a private pool, terrace, and lounge all overlooking the water, you’ve plenty of places to savour the view. The villa is well set up for a group getaway, with communal areas and quiet spots to suit your mood. And all of the bedrooms are en-suite so there won’t be any queues for the shower in the morning. To make your holiday even more special, your host can arrange for a private chef to cook for you in the home. And when you’re ready to explore, you’ll find beaches, hiking trails, and lakeside villages within easy reach by public transport or car.

Lake of Dreams

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

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.

The Villa's Jewel

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

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. 

Olive & Pomegranate

You’ll find this apartment a mere one-minute walk from the shores of Lake Como. Here, there are a variety of dining options and shops to discover, while Giardino della Valle and the Villa Erba exhibition and trade centre are also a short stroll away. 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.

Lake Como Hideaway

Throws

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.

Como Cardinale

You’ll find this unique home in the heart of Como, a mere seven-minute walk from the eponymous lake. Once an ice house, the place has been transformed into a cosy apartment – we loved the mezzanine level with frosted glass floor and the comfy crescent sofa that complements the curves of the ancient walls. There’s a kitchenette for whipping up quick snacks, but if you’ve got a hankering for hearty Lombardy fare, you’re only footsteps from traditional osterie. 

Spend afternoons navigating Como’s narrow cobbled streets, nipping in and out of artisanal boutiques before finding a spot by the water with an aperitvo. If you’re keen to explore further afield, catch the ferry to Bellagio – it’ll take around forty-four minutes – and stroll around the peaceful Villa Melzi gardens.
