Set on the edge of Como, this apartment offers a comfortable base for exploring Lake Como. While the historic centre isn’t right on your doorstep, it’s still within reach – and having free private parking makes getting around that much easier. Back home, the space is simple and modern. It’s more of an elevated studio setup, with a cosy kitchenette, a spot to dine, and a comfortable bed to unwind after a day out. The building doesn’t have a lift, so you’ll need to climb a few flights of stairs to reach the third floor – but we think it’s a fair trade-off for a relaxed stay away from the crowds.

About Como
The Italian lakes bring to mind all sorts of romance.
