Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Location-wise, this apartment couldn't be more perfect. It's in the heart of Como, perched above the lively Via Grassi and overlooking Via Garibaldi. Everything is within easy reach here – shops, restaurants, you name it. Noise is likely, given the central spot, but we think it suits couples keen to explore. When you’re not seeing the sights, you can unwind in the large bedroom or enjoy a glass of wine on the street-facing balcony. The kitchenette is quite basic, so eating out is recommended. The lounge also has a sofa bed, but we think the pad is perfect for two.
