Floor-to-ceiling windows, minimal furnishings and a light colour scheme work together to deliver a truly idyllic ambience in this modern attic apartment. And when you step through the French doors onto the balcony, you’ll be greeted by remarkable views of the city’s landscape – tuck into a sumptuous dinner, end the night gazing at the stars with a glass of Barolo and revel in the calm of your penthouse retreat.

When you’re feeling recharged and ready for some action, a fifteen-minute drive will take you to the centre of Como city – wander through historic streets, delight in Italian cuisine, browse the one-off boutiques or head straight for the lake to try your hand at some water sports. There are plenty of other picturesque towns and villages worth visiting nearby, such as Bellagio and Lenno, so we suggest hiring a car to really make the most of your time here.
