Serene and packed full of character, it’s no surprise that this attic apartment in the heart of Como caught our eye. We love the beautiful old beams here – just mind your head as you move around, as those sloping ceilings could catch you out. But for those who want to explore the city with ease, this pad is just the ticket. A mere stone’s throw from the Duomo and the shores of Lake Como, when you’re not sampling authentic Italian cuisine, sightseeing is a breeze.

Home truths:
*While there is a lift here, you'll need to be able to climb a flight of stairs to access it.
*The ceiling in some areas is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests.
*Parking in Como can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
