Sitting peacefully on the edge of Lake Lugano, this apartment offers stunning views and an idyllic location. You can soak it all in while sipping drinks on the little balcony. The rooms are basic but well suited to families with the second bedroom featuring bunk beds. You’ll have direct access to the lake and it’s possible to walking the centre of Osteno. We recommend hiring a car, but it’s a fantastic base for exploring Porlezza and Menaggio – both within easy driving distance.

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.
