Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This apartment in the historic centre puts Como at your fingertips. Ten minutes on foot from the lake and the cathedral, it's the perfect spot to shop, sightsee, and sample the local culinary scene. Between adventures, enjoy some downtime back home. Set on the ground floor, it's functional but fun – we're big fans of the vibrant wallpaper in the bedroom. Just note that two guests will sleep on the sofa bed. The kitchen is also a nice size, but we reckon most of the time you'll eat – you're in Italy, after all.

Home truths
At full capacity, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed. It may make the living area a little snug.
This is a ground-floor apartment. As such, it lacks a bit of natural light.
Parking isn’t provided, but you won’t need a car in this location. We think the best way to explore Como is on foot. A train station is also nearby.
