Sitting on the first floor of a beachfront complex in Bellano, this apartment puts Lake Como right in front of you – literally from the balcony, where the lido beach and open water stretch out below. The living space draws cooking, dining, and unwinding into one light-filled room, with the balcony an easy step away for when the view gets too good to ignore. The Orrido gorge, the waterfront promenade, and local restaurants are all on your doorstep, and with the railway station and ferry landing a short walk away, the rest of the lake is yours to explore at will.

Home truths
The living room doubles as sleeping space, with a double sofa bed for two of your group. If you're travelling as four adults, bear in mind that two guests will be sleeping in the open-plan living area rather than a separate bedroom.
The apartment is on the first floor of a condominium building with no lift, so it may not suit guests with limited mobility.
This home is near a railway, so expect to hear some noise from passing trains.
