Right in the heart of Como city, a short walk from the magnificent Duomo and the lake, this home is in a superb spot. It’s a great pick for a couple or small family, with a sofa bed that sleeps two and a modern kitchen for homemade meals. But it’s the location that’s really going to win you over. Head to the water for a scenic stroll or swim, where you can also catch a boat to the pretty villages that circle the lake. Or wander through the city to find cosy cafes and charming restaurants – as ever in Italy, we hope you’re feeling hungry.
