Tucked into the heart of Como, this studio attic apartment is an ideal base for a small family or friends who are happy to share their space. Nestled at the top of a medieval building, we love the seamless blend of old and new here – just mind your head on those sloping ceilings and beautiful old beams. Locally, a car isn’t necessary to explore as you’re blessed with the city at your feet. Take a stroll to Lake Como, visit the Duomo, or peruse the boutiques that line the local streets – there’s something for everyone here.

Home truths

  • There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.

  • This is a studio apartment with all beds in close proximity. We think it's best suited to those happy to share their sleeping and living space.

  • The ceiling in some areas is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests.

  • Parking in Como can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. That said, you can easily explore the city on foot from this location.
