If you want the best of Lake Como at your feet, this Bellano historic centre gem wins hands down. The apartment is mere steps from the lakeside squares for people watching and sundowners, and when it's time to head upstream to Menaggio, Bellagio, and beyond, the ferry port is just 200 metres from your door. Back home, the handsome palazzo exteriors make all the right first impressions. It's worth noting that if six of you share, the last two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living area. There's also no outdoor space to speak of here. But the views of Bellano's rooftops and church tower from the bedroom are a lovely touch.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
There is parking available here. Although Bellano train station and ferry terminal are all within 500 metres of your door, so a car isn’t necessary.
A quick word on the location – this home is set in the picturesque lakeside village of Bellano and isn't to be confused with Bellagio (that's its bigger, flashier cousin further along the lake).
