Perfect for two (or four at a squeeze on the sofa bed), this apartment puts you within walking distance from all Como has to offer. From fabulous restaurants to the glistening lake, you'll be able to set off and explore with ease. It's not the most stylish home, but it does the job for short stays. There's a small kitchen where you can rustle up light bites, a comfortable bedroom, and a large bathroom with a lush soaker tub. The icing on top is the private terrace – just the spot for an alfresco breakfast or aperitif at sunset.

Home truths:
*At full capacity, two people will sleep on a double sofa bed in the living area.
*The design here is a little simple – we've included it in our collection because of the fantastic location.
*Given the central spot, expect to hear some noise during your stay.
