Part of a villa in San Fermo della Battaglia, this apartment is a practical find. It's just a short drive to Como, which makes it ideal for those who want to be close to the action without sacrificing peace and quiet. Back home, we love the mix of antiques with the otherwise understated decor. Pull up a chair and tuck into dinner in the dining room (though note the kitchen is a bit small) or retreat to one of the three comfortable bedrooms for a little R&R. When you fancy some fresh air, the communal garden is worth a wander.
