From sunrise to sunset, the lakeside views from this penthouse on the edge of Como City impress. Whether you’re curled up in the sitting room with morning coffees, toasting the day’s end from the shared rooftop terrace, or dining alfresco on the private balcony. When you’re ready to explore, Como’s historic centre is just a ten-minute stroll away, and your host will happily share their insider tips on the best spots to eat. For day trips to nearby Bellagio or Varenna, the private garage parking for a small car (gold dust in Como) will be handy. But it’s just as easy for your host to organise a boat charter to arrive in style.
