Beautiful Como

This apartment was perfectly located on the old town, over a bakery/restaurant and a 30 second walk to coffee. We walked to groceries, the boat, the funicular, pizza and the churches and shops. The beds were comfortable and the shower was awesome. There was no downside to this apartment and I would highly recommend it!

Como close

This is a wonderful apartment that matches the pictures. It is close to everything and a good base to explore the whole Lake Como area. Alexia is a very in touch and helpful host. Convenience does have a small price in noise at night.

Great Location!

We loved our stay in the Charming Como property ! The location was perfect, in the heart of everything. We were a block from a bakery that made the most amazing bread, a few blocks from the lake and steps from amazing restaurants. The apartment was nicely furnished, and the kitchen was well stocked. The beds were comfortable and the living room was a perfect place to wind down after a day in Como. BUT, the best part was waking up to the smell of coffee and fresh baked pastries wafting up from the cafe below! WOW! If you want an amazing place to stay in Como, look no further.

The owner, Alexia, made our stay in Como extra special. Her apartment was so comfortable and modern and the location was excellent.the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were so modern--even had a washing machine in the Apt. Alexia went out of her way to make sure every one of our needs was met and beyond. She supplied us with tons of information about Como , what to do, restaurants, shopping, sights, etc. We couldn't have asked for a better apartment and hostess Thank you Alexia.

Perfect in every way!

We stayed four nights in Alexia’s beautiful property. She was such an incredible host. She went above and beyond in every way to make our stay pleasurable. The location is right in the heart of everything with a lovely cafe downstairs and restaurants and shopping all around you. We can’t say enough good things about the property. The house was very clean and felt very safe. Stay here, you won’t regret it!!! Thank you so much Alexia for making everything perfect for our stay.
