Perched above the Lake Como shoreline in Meriggio, this single-level home earns its place on the water's edge. Two panoramic terraces look out over the lake and mountains, and the light-filled living room – warmed by a copper fireplace – frames exactly the same view from inside. Original paintings line the walls, some made from historic photographs of the area, lending the rooms a quiet sense of place. The lakeside promenade and pier are just steps away, putting Varenna, Bellagio, and Menaggio within easy reach by boat.

Home truths
Air conditioning is available in the living room and some bedrooms, but not across the whole home.
The garden furniture and barbecue are stored in the garage rather than set up outside, so you'll have to set them up when you arrive.
This home is not accessible for guests with reduced mobility.
The nearest train station is around an 850-metre walk away, with Milan Bergamo airport roughly a fifty-one-kilometre drive and Malpensa around 94 km – worth factoring in when planning your journey.
