You’ll find this charming apartment in the centre of historic Como. Step into the inviting living space – the emerald green feature wall, botanical print cushions and monochrome art prints combine to create a grounding and calming atmosphere. Find the comfiest spot on the couch and get stuck into your holiday novel or potter around the sleek kitchen.

When it’s time for lunch, pick up fresh produce from Mercato Coperto di Como, a seven-minute walk away. But if you’d prefer to hang up your chef’s apron, you’re surrounded by a mouth-watering selection of restaurants serving the very best of Lombardy cuisine.

Weave through the cobbled streets to the eponymous lake and take a boat tour arranged by your fantastic host. Should you be keen to explore further afield, catch the ferry to Varenna or take a day trip to fashionable Milan – it’s just over an hour away on the train.
