This apartment is New-York-style loft living in the centre of Como. It’s brimming with inspiration for creative types, from the picturesque surroundings of Lake Como (easily explored by water taxi) to the architecturally marvellous interior. The open bathroom won’t be for everyone – with a huge rainfall shower in the centre of the open loft and a spa-like bath enclosed. But there’s a standard shower room with a door for those who prefer privacy. It feels like an old warehouse in the vast, open living space with a sleek chrome kitchen, banquet-sized dining table and desks to work remotely. Art and books take centre stage, strewn about the room with a TV on the floor like an afterthought.

Home truths

    The main bathroom is open to the living area and the bath has a window into the communal spaces of the loft. However, there is a closed-off shower room behind a door if you prefer.

    The entire space is very open and some walls don't quite reach the ceiling. It would not suit groups who want some privacy from each other.

    In artistic style, the TV is on the floor, like an afterthought.

    This apartment is on the second floor, but there's a lift in the building.

    While having a car is not necessary in the centre of Como, there is parking should you need it.

    There's currently no home manual or information packet here, and the lights can be tricky to work. That said, your host is happy to answer any questions.
