Nestled in the charming town of Blevio, this apartment is ideal for a solo traveller or a couple. You'll want to pack light here as space is tight and the traditional style won't be for everyone, but if you're a creative looking for an authentically Italian stay, look no further. The bed is surrounded by bookshelves on the ground level and the mezzanine, and there's a window in the study overlooking the narrow streets and nearby buildings. Within walking distance, you'll find Lake Como, and while you won't find parking here, you can catch a bus into Como city and a train into the beautiful Milan.

Home truths:
*You'll need to climb stairs to reach the entrance of this home.
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*This home is very small throughout, so we recommend packing light.
*The bathroom in this home is very small. That said, it has everything you need to get ready for the day.
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
*The ceiling in some areas is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests.
