Situated in the vibrant town of Como, this cosy apartment marries city life with the serenity of the lake. Such is the proximity to Lake Como, you can almost see it from the privacy of your balcony, which overlooks the lush greenery of the main park in Como. That park is an idyllic spot to spend an afternoon, whether it's embarking on a leisurely stroll, sitting with a picnic or just reading a book on a bench. Afterwards, take a trip into the city centre to find bustling markets, charming restaurants and cute cafes. Of course, you're almost obligated to visit the pristine beauty of Lake Como during your stay. Allow for a couple of days to take in the magical sights – a boat trip across the water is a particular highlight. Once you've explored the lake and city centre, you can retire to the cosy comfort of the apartment. Find an open-plan living space, flooded with natural light from the balcony. On the warm evenings, you can open the patio doors and share ravioli on the wooden dining table, feeling like you're enjoying an alfresco meal.
