Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You couldn't dream up a better location for this sophisticated apartment perched right in the heart of Como's ancient streets and just a stroll away from the lakeside for aperitivo cocktails and people-watching. The living area and small balcony for two will feel snug if four of you are sharing, and there's not much of a view other than a glimpse of the neighbouring neoclassical facades. But we can let that slide for the rest of the home's sleek interiors and Juliet balcony windows which flood the space with natural light.

Home truths
Parking in Como can be tricky, and there is no allocated parking at this apartment. We recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible.

A cot and high chair can be provided for little ones on request.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
