Nestled within the central streets of Como, this apartment invites you to experience the unique magic of lakeside living. From historic ruins and charming villas to hiking trails and wine-tasting by the shore, this is the perfect setting to indulge in the beauty of Italy. Just a twenty-minute walk from Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, you’ll find this home sits like a peaceful sanctuary. And with views across the surrounding trees, there’s a refreshing quality to this space that makes you want to settle in and stay. From the sun-dappled living room to the cosy bedroom, every detail has been considered to uplift and inspire the senses. So whether you’re sipping coffee on the little terrace or gathering around the table for golden-hour aperitifs, you’ll leave feeling rejuvenated and ready to explore. Days can be spent admiring the iconic sights of the city, mingling with glamorous locals in cafes and spending leisurely afternoons on the shimmering lake. And if you feel like exploring further afield, we suggest taking a road trip to the region’s prettiest towns and most lavish resorts – Bellagio and Varenna are within an hour’s driving distance.
