You'll get the best of both worlds at this Lake Como apartment. It's set in the heart of Como's historic centre, just steps from classic sightseeing spots like the Cathedral and the Basilica, and a short walk from the shores of Lake Como itself. The cosy apartment is housed inside a historic building, with lake-inspired colours that bring the scenery indoors. There are two dining tables inside and a shared courtyard with seating outside – all perfect spots for a good Italian espresso. (Or a spritz – you decide.)
