You couldn't ask for a better location for this sophisticated apartment, located right in the beating heart of chic Como. Wander its well-heeled ancient streets flanked with neoclassical villas and stumble across Como Cathedral and the Basilica of San Fedele, both just a hop, skip, and a jump away. Then join the glitterati down by the lakeside (five-minute walk) for an aperitivo with a view. Back at home, you'll find this elegant attic apartment set high within the eaves of a handsome period property. Commanding the most astonishing views of the city and mountains beyond from its rooftop terraces (yup, there's three), it's the perfect retreat after a day of lakeside frolicking. Grab a sundowner and take a pew outside as the lights of the city begin to flicker on –⁠ it's quite a show. Inside, tasteful furniture, modern art, and a grand piano set the scene for glamorous evenings – even if there are no virtuosos amongst your ensemble. And the pristine bedrooms have a romantic feel with exposed gabled ceilings awash in crisp white –⁠ both connected to yet another delightful terrace to let the fresh air flow through.
