Perched high above Como, this apartment earns its elevated position with a wraparound balcony that stretches across views of the lake and surrounding mountains – a panorama that shifts quietly with the light. The interiors carry a distinctly Italian hand, pairing contemporary lines with considered design pieces that feel at home in this setting. One thing to know before you book: reaching the apartment means climbing around 150 steps, so it rewards the sure-footed. For those who don't mind the ascent, the views waiting at the top make it hard to leave the balcony.

Home truths
Reaching the apartment means climbing approximately 150 steps – there is no lift. It's a workout on arrival and every time you head out and back, so it's worth factoring in if you have mobility concerns or are travelling with heavy luggage.
If you're travelling with a baby, your host can provide a cot. You'll need to request it in advance.
There is no private parking space here. Como's city centre can be busy with traffic, so we recommend arriving by train – Como San Giovanni station is well connected to Milan – or using a public car park nearby.

About Como
The Italian lakes bring to mind all sorts of romance. Como in particular is often referred to as the most beautiful lake in the world, with its prealpine hills, microclimate, and the beautiful towns that skirt the shore.
