Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You’ll find this apartment in Como city, close to shops and restaurants and (most importantly) just a short stroll from the lake. It’s a bright and comfortable base for your stay, with a kitchen if you’d like to dine in and a sofa bed that sleeps two. But the best bit is waiting outside. The large terrace looks out across Como’s characterful rooftops to the hills beyond – a scenic spot to sit with your morning coffee or a sunset cocktail. Wander down to the pier to get out on the water, with boats waiting to whisk you away to wonderful lakeside towns like Cernobbio and Bellagio.
