Set a short bus ride from Como’s shops, restaurants and picturesque shoreline, this apartment suits a solo traveller or couple keen to explore. Having a car isn’t essential, but recommended if you’d like to explore the wider area – the scenic villages of Blevio and Torno are within a twenty-minute drive. While there is a kitchen here, it’s better suited to prepping on-the-go snacks, as there’s no dining table. After sightseeing excursions, the bed is a welcome sight after a busy day on your feet.
