Tucked into the Borgo Vico Vecchia neighbourhood, this renovated apartment is a quiet, design-led retreat within ten minutes' walk of the lake, the historic centre, and the train station – with direct connections to Milan and Lugano. Wood panelling, floor-to-ceiling curtains, and a signature green ceiling give the interiors a distinct personality, while a separate bedroom keeps sleeping and living spaces properly apart. Como Cathedral is a twenty-minute walk, and lakefront boat connections to Bellagio and Menaggio make it easy to explore beyond the city at your own pace.
