Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This well-appointed apartment serves up some beautiful views over Lake Como and the mountains beyond. It's a bright and functional space with sliding patio doors that opens up the home. The furnished terrace is a lovely spot for alfresco meals and Aperols in the sunshine. Downstairs, you'll also have free access to the shared swimming pool for cooling off. At capacity, two people will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the communal living area – though there are no curtains, so if you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask. It's also worth noting that it takes a short drive to reach the surrounding provinces.
