Set within the historic Palazzo Visconti on Como's pedestrianised central piazza, this apartment places you steps from the cathedral, the lake waterfront, and the ferry docks – the old town is your front garden. Inside, the apartment rises across two levels, with a loft layout that makes the most of the double-height space for both dining and unwinding. A terrace looks out to Como's hills – an easy spot to linger over a morning coffee before heading out to wander the medieval quarter or stroll the iconic lakeside promenade.

Home truths
At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
The first bedroom is on the mezzanine level and semi-open to the space below, so privacy is limited. It's accessed via stairs, meaning it might not be suitable for those with reduced mobility.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair – request these in advance to make sure they're ready on arrival.
The washing machine and dryer are shared with other apartments in the building rather than being inside this home.
You're right next to Como's cathedral, which is part of the charm – but expect to hear church bells in the morning.
The historic centre of Como is a pedestrianised zone, so you can't drive directly to the door. You can pull up to Palazzo Visconti briefly to drop luggage, but the nearest on-street parking is around 400 metres away on Viale Lecco.
