Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Right in the heart of Como’s historic centre, this apartment is all about location. Step outside and you’ll find a mix of restaurants, cafes and local landmarks on your doorstep, with the lake just a short stroll away. There’s a bit of a climb to reach the flat, but once inside, it’s a calm and comfortable retreat from the buzz of the old town. The living space is bright and inviting, with a well-equipped kitchen, a cosy lounge and a bedroom for a restful night’s sleep. It’s a great option for couples or solo travellers looking to soak up Como at their own pace.

Home truths
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot free. You'll need to request it in advance.
There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.

This home is set up like a studio with the bedroom semi-open to the living space, so privacy is limited.
