If buildings were food, this four hundred year old house would be Tiramisu, a dessert made up of three layers of rich flavour – in this case the elegant first floor living/dining area and separate kitchen, the second floor’s master bedroom overlooking the private garden and the terrace, and the third floor bedroom’s beamed ceiling and balcony with a view over the town roofs to the Lake, less than a minutes’ walk away. Although the house is old, it is immaculately decorated and furnished. It’s also in an upmarket location – George Clooney bought a house in the next village – but you can still take it very easy here. Alternatively, there are sightseeing opportunities in Como, along the western branch and most of all in the mid lake triangle of Menaggio, Bellagio and Varenna, as well as day trips to Milan, Bergamo and St Moritz.

Newly refurbished, this luxurious two bedroom apartment has been tastefully decorated and is located in one the most desirable residential parts of Lake Como (close to Laglio, the location of George Clooney’s Villa Oleandra). At the same time, it’s convenient for visiting the popular western branch, from Como’s old town to the water-sports centres at the Northern end of the Lake, as well as the popular mid-lake triangle of Menaggio, Bellagio and Varenna. And for longer day trips, Milan, Lugano and St Moritz are within easy reach.
The apartment itself provides wonderful Lake views from all of its rooms. Although it sleeps 4 adults it also has a fun third bedroom with bunk beds if you have kids making it ideal for a family of six.
