This elegant apartment sits at the entrance to Como’s Old Town, close to the historic Porta Torre gate where you’ll find restaurants, shops, and a weekly market. From here, you can stroll to the lake in just fifteen minutes, while the majestic Duomo is ten minutes away on foot. Situated on the top floor, this home enjoys scenic views of the city. There’s a sofa bed that can sleep one adult or two children, and a pair of bathrooms to make mornings less hectic. We think it’s a great base for exploring the Lake Como region – simply wander down to the water to catch a ferry to pretty lakeside towns like Bellagio and Varenna.
