Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Place yourselves right on the edge of Lake Como at this Colonno apartment with jaw-dropping lake vistas from a private terrace and Jacuzzi. Set over two floors, while the interiors of this home may feel a little characterless for some, it’s all well cared for, and the secondary balcony off the light-filled bedroom is a nice touch. Set high on a hill and with little local amenities within walking distance, you’ll want a car to explore. Make the postcard-pretty lakeside village of Argegno your first port of call – just a few minutes' drive away.
