Housed within an ornate historical building just a seven-minute walk from Lake Como, your apartment is perfectly positioned to take advantage of all this outstanding city and surrounding countryside have to offer.

In the morning, wake up early and enjoy a revitalising shower before firing up the coffee maker. A cup of espresso is just what you need to get ready for the day ahead.

Unearth the true beauty of this Italian playground and discover all that Lake Como has to offer - you'll be surprised that you didn't visit sooner. From snow-capped peaks to lush, terraced vineyards and beautiful ornamental gardens – it's no wonder George Clooney chose to live here.

In the afternoon, sip a refreshing cocktail on one of the many sun-splashed terraces around the lake. If you're feeling energetic, rent a bicycle and go cycling around the perimeter of Lake Como, or drive to Greenway del Lago di Como, a ninety-minute drive away, and go hiking through the verdant countryside. In the evenings, make reservations for an unforgettable sunset sail followed by dinner at a top Como restaurant – living 'la dolce vita' is this easy.

Home truths:
* For your convenience, there is an elevator in the building
* The mezzanine bedroom is open to the living room, which could lead to privacy issues
* The best time to visit Lake Como is from April till October
