Three balconies, two of them looking straight at Como Cathedral's Gothic-Renaissance facade – it's a view you'll want to linger over, whether that's over morning coffee or an evening aperitif.

Home truths
Air conditioning is only available in the living room and the main bedroom – the second bedroom with twin beds doesn't have it, so it may feel warmer on hot summer nights.
