Nestled in the hills of Cernobbio, this eco-friendly home offers a serene escape for a family or group of friends. There’s so much to love about this home, with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy some quiet time or socialise as a group. But, the standout for us is the view. Whether you’re drinking in the lake vistas from the indoor or outdoor space, it’s something you’ll never tire of. And, when the scenery pulls you in, it’s a mere four-minute drive to town and the lake, where delicious Italian eateries and adventures await.

Positioned close to the centre of the lakeside town of Cernobbio, this light and spacious apartment keeps good company, a stone's throw from some of Lake Como's most illustrious villas.

The open-plan interior is chic and contemporary, which will appeal to lovers of an uncluttered, minimalist aesthetic. Head through to the two bedrooms and you'll discover that they follow a similar ethos, with gold accents adding a touch of glamour to proceedings.

Step outside and discover Villa Bernasconi just steps away – one of the best examples of Art Nouveau architecture in the whole of Italy. Walk towards the lake and you'll encounter Villa Erba, which is used to host some of the most exclusive events in the world, as well as making cameos in the occasional Hollywood movie. For the outdoorsy types, Cernobbio is the jumping-off point for many picturesque mountain hikes including the eighty-eight mile Via dei Monti Lariani, though you're more than welcome just to do a small section.

Originally a 17th-century convent, this home boasts a modern touch while still retaining a nod to its past. Consisting of three independent apartments, it’s an ideal base for an extended family or group of friends on an Italian getaway, with space to socialise together and privacy when needed. But the cherry on the cake? For us, it has to be the views over Lake Como. With each apartment boasting a private terrace, you can soak up the lake vistas wherever you are. And, if you can tear yourself away from this hillside sanctuary, there’s a restaurant within walking distance, and charming Cernobbio is a mere four-minute drive away.

Do you ever dream of escaping to a remote part of Italy and trading in 
your worries for relaxed, carefree living? Well, it's as if we've plucked this location straight from your reverie. Just a two-minute walk from lovely Lake Como, where peace and quiet reign, and rich green mountains cascade over calming waters, this spot is very desirable.

Our recommendation? Wander down to the charming lake village of Cernobbio, mosey around the shops, cafes and bars, before stopping off for a bowl of fettuccini along the water's edge. Taste local limoncello, perhaps bringing a bottle back to be enjoyed as an aperitivo on your private balcony. If you're looking to explore further afield, hire a boat or join a group trip to the lakeside delights of Bellagio or Varenna for the day. Come back home for a cheese and wine night in the open-plan living space, With a modern kitchen and a sociable layout, it's the perfect spot for group games. Minimal and muted inside, this home's truly enviable location speaks for itself. 

Steps to the Lake

Nestled just a short drive from Lake Como and the charming town of Cernobbio, this home has tranquillity running through its core. Perfect for a family or group of friends, you’ll find everything needed for a comfortable stay here and a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It’s worth noting that at full occupancy, one guest will sleep on a sofa bed in the loft area of one bedroom – so privacy is limited, but it’s a good option for families. With panoramic views across Lake Como, you’ll soon be itching to explore – hop in the car, and you’ll find yourself lakeside in no time.

This villa has a lot to offer. For starters, the location is fantastic. Cernobbio is right at your fingertips – you're just a ten-minute walk from the town's restaurants, lakefront promenade, historic villas, and ferry port. The private pool back home is perfect for an evening dip, while the traditional living area is the definition of cosy. Our favourite spot to unwind is in the sunroom, a glass of wine in one hand and a good book in another. All the bedrooms are comfortable, though one lacks air conditioning, and two others have small double beds. There's also an office for remote workers, an outdoor table for alfresco dining, and private parking for exploring Lake Como with ease.

Cernobbio Cadence

Safe

In the quiet town of Cernobbio, this bright apartment is just a few steps from the sparkling shore of Lake Como. Walk just two minutes to reach the lakeside, where the town’s cafés and bars offer alfresco views across the water to deep green mountains and you can follow rambling walking routes out of the town. Perhaps hop on the ferry to Bellagio, Menaggio or Varenna – the jetty is just a five-minute walk away.

In the apartment itself, you’ll find clean white walls and long French windows brightening up each room. Dine by the window in the kitchen and throw open the doors to create a Juliet-style balcony looking out over the leafy street below. The old stonework of the building is on display behind the dove-grey sofa and the kitchen units have everything you need for self-catering. That’s if you’re not too busy hitting every trattoria and gelateria in Cernobbio.

The home is spread across two levels with all modern amenities, including a fitness room.

This contemporary apartment is only a five-minute stroll from the centre of Cernobbio. Shops, bars, restaurants – you name it, you can reach it on foot with ease. Location aside, what caught our eye here were the spectacular views of the surrounding Como Pre-Alps mountains. Thanks to a glass wall, you can enjoy them from the living area. Or, even better, admire the scenery while savouring a cocktail on the private balcony. The rest of the apartment is bright, comfortable, and modern in design. We think it makes a great base for a couple keen to explore Lake Como.

Como Contemporary

Paid Parking

Beautiful Lake Como is just 100 metres from this home, while other attractions nearby include the pretty Giardini del Tempio Voltiano with its museum, just over a five-minute walk away. Or head to Como Cathedral and Basilica di San Fedele – both are around five minutes on foot. There are a variety of cafés and restaurants for lunch on your doorstep, or head back to this elegant apartment. 

Open up the French doors to the Juliet balcony and take a seat on the comfy sofa to rest your feet for a while. We love the living room with its polished wood floors and vases of cream flowers. Whip up an insalata caprese in the modern kitchen and enjoy it at your dining table next to the wall adorned with giant cutlery. This home is the perfect retreat for a couple or solo traveller looking for easy access to the lake.

Nestled on the hillside in Como, this villa serves up panoramic lake and mountain views that you’ll never tire of. Set across four floors, there’s plenty of space for an extended family or group of friends to spread out here, or come together to socialise. With a private gym, hot tub, and games area, you’ll find plenty to occupy your time, too. Keen to explore further? Hop in the car – it’s a short drive to Como and Cernobbio, where fine Italian eateries and adventures on the lake await. 

The Lake of Love

Rooftop Terrace

Lake Como has become something of a celebrity hotspot, and we can't blame them – there’s no place we'd rather be for a relaxed escape. While a little less humble than Madonna's lakeside villa, you can get a slice of the star's lifestyle by staying in this renovated top-floor apartment, with a terrace overlooking the terracotta rooftops of Como city. A romantic spot, with its grey and white scheme, chandeliers and opulent queen-size bed, it makes the perfect northern Italian break for two. It's within easy reach of lakeside restaurants, walking routes and boat trips. Thick stone walls keep it warm in winter and cool in summer, but there’s also air conditioning, so you can always escape the midday heat. Should you ever need a little more action, it’s just an hour’s drive to Milan’s main airports and into the city itself, for shopping, restaurants and unmissable sights like the Duomo.

Material Girl

Welcome to this scenic home in Moltrasio. With sweeping views of Lake Como, you couldn't ask for a more perfect setting. Stretch out on sun loungers and tuck into an alfresco dinner, all while admiring the glistening lake. Indoors, you'll find a well-appointed kitchen and a comfortable living. We think it works well as a family base, as the third bedroom has bunk beds that are ideal for little ones. When you're ready for adventure, hop in the car and drive to Como, Cernobbio, and Argegno – all less than twenty minutes away.

Melody of the Water

Lake Como days are all about living life – Italian style. That means you get to stay in your very own historic building located just seven minutes walk away from one of the most stunning lakes in the world.

Relax and unwind in your comfortable apartment. In the morning, potter around at your leisure before heading out for the day.

Visit the famous Como Cathedral constructed in the 14th Century then head over to the Como Archaeological Museum in Palazzo Giovio. At the water's edge, take the funicular up to the charming town of Brunate where you'll revel in jaw-dropping views of the lake. Later in the afternoon, go on an unforgettable woodland walk to the Baroque Villa Balbianello, where you'll sit on the terrace with gelato and admire the views of Vergonese and Bellagio off in the distance – we loved making memories that will last a lifetime.

Luellablu

Blender

Tucked away in the centre of Como's charming old town, this superb apartment surprises and delights with an extraordinary blend of ornate original features and cutting-edge design to create a unique and luxurious offering on the edge of northern Italy's most prestigious lake.

The owners have poured their heart and soul into a sympathetic restoration that makes a deliberate feature of some of the more patinated interior elements. In particular, double-height, frescoed ceilings draw the eye upward in the spacious and comfortable living room with beautiful mouldings on the walls and its two gorgeous bedrooms – undoubtedly the home's standout rooms.

The city of Como is a fantastic place to base yourself to explore some of the small lakeside settlements. It boasts a vibrant atmosphere, outstanding eateries and bougie boutiques, all within a stone's throw of your front door. Stroll a short distance to the harbour, where local ferries depart for the likes of Bellagio, Varenna and Menaggio. In addition, active types might want to head into the mountains for scenic hikes, where each turn reveals ever more spectacular views.

Como Crystal

This home, while compact, still oozes grandeur. The lovely high ceilings and multiple huge windows play a part. But there are other carefully considered details that give this apartment some extra oomph – light fittings are bold as brass, while the marble floor tiles and polished granite tabletop add some serious class. The ice machine in the high-spec kitchen is perfect for that cold Aperol Spritz you’ll be sipping by the window in the sunshine. In the lounge, the wall-mounted TV comes preloaded with Netflix, but there are restaurants and bars aplenty right on your doorstep as you’re right on the main square, so you might never reach for the remote. Even better, the serene shore of Lake Como is only a short stroll away, so hop in a water taxi and explore the pretty villas and villages of the lakeside. Return to your decadent floral bedroom where the marble in the en-suite adds to the glam.

Turtle Dove Retreat

Just a short stroll from the lake, this apartment brings you to the magical heart of Como. You’ll find everything you could on the doorstep with an abundant selection of shops, restaurants and cafes in the neighbourhood. The train station is also a short walk away and there is paid parking available nearby. It’s worth noting the apartment is set across two floor with stairs, but you will find plenty of space to stretch out and unwind with a cosy living room and three snug bedrooms. 

Como Comfort

Hello beautiful – the name says it all. This home bolsters stunning views of Italy’s idyllic Lake Como. At the heart of this dreamy apartment is a spectacular veranda terrace that will have you pinching yourself as you look out across the lake. Stylishly furnished, this home is as resplendent inside as it is outside, benefitting from calming open spaces bathed in natural light that are well suited for small gatherings with friends or family. Wake up and enjoy an al fresco breakfast on the terrace as you watch the sun rise over the water. We can think of nothing better than sitting back with a good book on one of the loungers and listening to the busy streets of Como below as you bask in the heat and sip cocktails above. Make the most of the location and arrange a sailing or boat tour along the river – a ten-minute walk down the road. Enjoy a scoop of gelato as you meander through the pretty avenues and gardens, and be sure to explore the city’s architectural landmarks and historical sights. Throw all that in with a loaf of focaccia and a glass of vino Rosso and you've got yourself the perfect Italian getaway. 

Ciao Bella

When you stay at this apartment in the lakeside town of Torno, you'll have the area's tourist attractions within walking distance. There are a handful of eateries nearby, too, or cook up some Italian cuisine in this spacious apartment's kitchen. Alternatively, let your host arrange a private chef while you put your feet up – you're on holiday, after all. We love the features here, such as the beamed ceilings and panelled walls. This place is ideal for a family – bedroom two is more suitable for the kids as it has a bunk bed.

Charming Hideout by the Lake

Sightseeing is a breeze at this apartment in the heart of Como. Whether you're keen to explore on foot or head out on the water, you couldn't ask for a better position in the town. But aside from the setting, we love how bright, cosy, and comfortable this apartment is. It seamlessly blends the traditional with the modern – think exposed brick fireplace, stained glass windows, and terracotta floors. The cherry on top is the private terrace, where you can sit with a glass of wine and enjoy the evening sunshine.

Como Sunshine

You’ll find this unique home in the heart of Como, a mere seven-minute walk from the eponymous lake. Once an ice house, the place has been transformed into a cosy apartment – we loved the mezzanine level with frosted glass floor and the comfy crescent sofa that complements the curves of the ancient walls. There’s a kitchenette for whipping up quick snacks, but if you’ve got a hankering for hearty Lombardy fare, you’re only footsteps from traditional osterie. 

Spend afternoons navigating Como’s narrow cobbled streets, nipping in and out of artisanal boutiques before finding a spot by the water with an aperitvo. If you’re keen to explore further afield, catch the ferry to Bellagio – it’ll take around forty-four minutes – and stroll around the peaceful Villa Melzi gardens.

Stone Curves

A reflection of the rich, diverse culture of Italy, this attic-style home is a seamless union of modern minimalism and traditional opulence. Rustic stone walls, warm wooden beams and flooring are contrasted with cool whites and neutral-toned furniture, creating an ambience that’s just as sprightly as it is calming. The upper-level living area leads out to a cosy terrace with vistas of Como’s magnificent landscape, while a chandelier elegantly illuminates a dining area that’s ideal for a homemade feast. You’ll always be inclined to start your mornings with a soak in the master bathroom as the luxurious gold fittings will leave you feeling like you’re in a milk bath fit for royalty. And it’s tranquility inside and out with this home, as the sandy beaches lining the shores of Lake Como are just a short walk away. 

Timber Creek

Nestled in a little pocket of Como, this elegant home is the perfect romantic getaway. From the cheerful exterior of the historic building to the little touches in the interior, great care and attention has been put into this abode. Take in the staggering views of beautiful Lake Como as you sip a coffee beside the large windows. Set the dining table in the relaxing living space and treat your other half to traditional spaghetti aglio e olio cooked up in your streamlined kitchenette. But if you’d rather hang up your chef’s apron and leave it to the professionals, sample Como’s glorious selection of restaurants and indulge in romantic dinners by the water, just a fifteen-minute stroll from your doorstep. Spend balmy afternoons exploring the town centre or hike up to the Monte Croce – it’ll take you just over an hour but the views are well worth it.

Como Charm

Situated in the heart of Como, the apartment is within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and, most importantly, the lake. There's no better place to see the sights, though with on-site parking, you can explore further afield with ease. As far as design goes, the apartment is contemporary and practical. It lacks some homey touches, but it boasts all the essentials. We're big fans of the small balcony, too. Just note that two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living area.

Topaz & Twilight

With its neutral palette, clean lines and sophisticated furnishings, this modern apartment guarantees fuss-free relaxation in the heart of historic Como. The open-plan living space is the heart of the home – there’s a sofa for lounging with a paperback and a dining table for tucking into traditional Italian breakfasts. 

Put together quick pasta dishes or charcuterie boards in the streamlined kitchenette. But if you’ve a hankering for hearty Lombardy cuisine, take a local food and wine tour arranged by your attentive host. 
	
On sunny afternoons, stroll along the shores of Lake Como, a mere five minutes from your doorstep. Culture buffs should check out the impressive Cathedral and Archaeological Museum, while the adventurous amongst you embark on the two-hour hike to the summit of Mount Boletto. When it’s time to call it a day, head home with a bottle of your favourite drop and enjoy in the twilight on your private terrace.

Sweet Rose

Wheelchair Access

You couldn't dream up a better location for this sophisticated apartment perched right in the heart of Como's ancient streets and just a stroll away from the lakeside for aperitivo cocktails and people-watching. The living area and small balcony for two will feel snug if four of you are sharing, and there's not much of a view other than a glimpse of the neighbouring neoclassical facades. But we can let that slide for the rest of the home's sleek interiors and Juliet balcony windows which flood the space with natural light.

A Taste of Italy

Board Games

Bathrobes

Step-Free Access

A vision of romance right on the edge of Lake Como, this beautiful apartment is ready to sweep you into your very own Italian love story. 

Housed within a stunning historic villa surrounded by botanical gardens and wonderfully manicured grounds, there’s no better place to relax, unwind and feel the magic of Lombardy’s loveliest landscape. 

Inside your home, bamboo parquet floors, terracotta-hued walls and a blend of antique and contemporary furnishings create an idyllic welcome with a beautiful winding staircase leading up to a mezzanine floor. 

You’ll immediately be drawn to the sets of French doors that lead out onto a private terrace. Undoubtedly the home’s highlight, start your morning here over espressos while taking in the dramatic views of the lake and the surrounding mountains, and end the night with a glass of wine as the sunset shimmers on the water’s calm surface. 

Stairs here lead down to the water should you want to take a dip in the lake, while the villa’s magnificent gardens boast a secret pathway that takes you to medieval Torno’s centre in fifteen minutes. Your host can also organise boat trips for you. With Como also just a fifteen-minute drive from your, there’s no end to the magical memories in store. 


Terrazza Torno

Access to Gym / Spa

Jacuzzi

Sauna

Well, those views of Lake Como say it all, don’t they? But if you need more reasons to stay at this elegant villa, then maybe the swimming pool will clinch it. Or perhaps the home spa with its Jacuzzi, sauna and massage room. We love the vistas from the various balconies and terraces too. Inside, there’s plenty of room to entertain in this home which is on three levels. Located on the southwest shore of Lake Como, you can enjoy activities such as water skiing and windsurfing or explore the nearby town of Cernobbio.

Lake Shores

Situated in one of Italy’s most glamorous cities, right by the legendary lake, this petite home is a little piece of paradise. Sparks of joy fire off in the light-filled space thanks to the vivid paintings that embellish the white walls. Here, you can put your culinary skills to the test in the modern kitchen then bask in the sunlight at the breakfast bar while sipping  something refreshing. After a day enjoying the charms of the nearby harbour and lake, spend an evening in front of the flat-screen TV catching up on Fellini's cinematic classics. Foodies will be especially delighted, as a short walk takes you to the supermarket, restaurants serving tasty Italian cuisine and the neighbourhood bakery, Beretta Il Fornaio, with delicious breads and pastries aplenty. 

Pensierino

One glance at those Lake Como views and you'll fall in love with this cosy and romantic flat. There's nothing better than sitting around the dining table, sipping wine, nibbling on antipasti and watching the water ebb and flow out the window. Later on, snuggle up on the cushy sofas with a book or get comfortable in the bedrooms, resting up for an adventure-filled day. The design is a delightful mishmash of mid-century modern, classic Italian character and clean, contemporary style. Although it's compact, the cheery yellow kitchen is sure to put a smile on your face as you're rustling up breakfast, and with two showers, you won't have to worry about queuing in the mornings.

Location-wise, Carate Urio has oodles of old-world charm and an authentic, local atmosphere. Enjoy a cappuccino right by the water, then sprawl out on the small beach for a spot of sunbathing and swimming. In the evenings, stroll along the steeped, winding lanes in the village before grabbing a bite to eat at the traditional restaurants. And when you fancy exploring further afield, catch the ferry from Urio's dock (only a short walk away) to travel to Como.

By the Light of the Lake

Set in the village of Brunate, this home offers wonderful views of Lake Como from its large terrace. Inside this apartment is impressive too with its high ceilings in the open-plan living space – there’s a second living area on the mezzanine too. Location-wise, there are a variety of local eateries and artisan shops or take a ride over to the city of Como where you’ll find an array of attractions. Or you can immerse yourself in nature with the many hiking trails through the forests here.

Brunate Vista

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.

The Viscount Of Como

Overlooking Piazza Volta, this apartment has a prime location. You’ll be a short stroll from the lake and many of the city’s attractions. One of the main highlights of this apartment is the vistas from the bedrooms overlooking the lake. There’s also a desk in the main bedroom if you need to work while away. We love the two small balconies as well – perfect for enjoying the atmosphere of the piazza. This is the place to book to experience the heart of the city.


Lago Vita

Mini Bar

What a great location this apartment has. It's just a short walk from the shores of Lake Como and the Saint Mary Assunta Cathedral. Naturally, with such a central location, you'll probably hear a little bit of street noise here, but that's to be expected. There's a small balcony to enjoy a glass of Prosecco, and while the outside space is compact, inside, it's anything but. This home also has some lovely character features, such as beams and exposed stone walls. This home is a great pad for a small family, a couple or friends.

Dreamer's Den

Mosquito Net

This cosy apartment in the village of Torno is ideal for families and couples looking for an authentically Italian stay by the water. We think the terrace here could do with a bit of a refresh, but there's space to enjoy an alfresco drink or snack in the shade. You'll need to climb stairs to reach the home's entrance, but you'll have some lovely views of the rooftops and Lake Como itself from the dining area. The lake is just a stroll from your doorstep, and the city of Como is easily reachable by bus for days out.
