Views of Northern Italy's peaceful Lake Maggiore don't come much better than this. It's a scene best admired from the private balcony of this smart townhouse perched on the hillsides overlooking the Borromeo's islands. Inside, the newly refurbished, pared-back interiors are perfect for a fuss-free stay for two, and the pretty suntrap garden to soak up the Italian sunshine is a nice touch. You'll need a car here as it's pretty remote with no amenities to walk to – but don't let that put you off. Stresa's regal seafront promenade and cobbled streets bustling with trattorias are just a five-minute drive away.

The views of Lake Como from this home are simply gorgeous – we could sit on the balcony here gazing out over the gently rippling water to the mountains for hours. You can enjoy the incredible vistas from the terrace too, where you can relax on the sun loungers or dine alfresco. Whip up some tortelli di zucca in the sleek, dove grey kitchen for dinner. On chilly evenings gather around the fire or get some rest in the stylish bedrooms with their ornate wallpaper.

Over the rolling hills of Monferrato, amidst vast Italian landscapes – resides a peaceful country hideaway boasting the most beautiful vistas of the snow-capped mountains in the distance. Recently renovated, the home is a brand new barn conversion with its own spacious garden, swimming pool and outdoor lounge areas. The barn was designed to transition with the changing seasons in mind, and so feels light and airy during the warm summer months, yet warm and cosy come winter. Light up the log fire burner in the humble living room when it's cold and open up the floor-to-ceiling windows to let the fresh air in when it's hot. The open-plan living area will ensure a sociable stay from the inside, while the large terrace with a dining table and chairs serve perfectly for those long summer evenings of dining alfresco. There is also a relaxing corner under the pergola, where you can lounge around come day or night – it's the perfect spot to find some shade or watch the sunset. With Turin just an hours drive away, you're secluded and out of the action at this retreat in Sanico, however, feel rest assured that you're not too far away from the city's sights should you wish to explore further afield.

If you’re seeking the kind of serenity that comes from enjoying far-reaching views across a glassy lake, this could be the home for you. As you’d expect with a studio, space is limited here, but it’s a cosy place for two. And, step out into the garden, and you can while away the hours drinking in the vistas over a bottle of wine. The kitchenette is ideal for basic food, but for a substantial meal full of authentic Italian flavours, head to one of the many local restaurants in Laglio for a dinner to remember.

Lake Dreams

Shared Pool

Now that's what we call a view. Located in the charming town of Nesso, this apartment offers breathtaking views of Lake Como. You can admire the panoramas from the balcony, or watch the waves roll in while swimming in the shared pool. Vistas aside, the apartment is sleek and contemporary. There's a sofa bed for a third guest, but we think it would be a better fit for two. In terms of location, Como is twenty minutes away, making it an excellent starting point for exploring the region.

Echo of the Water

We were sold on those views of Lake Maggiore alone – and that was before we'd even clapped eyes on the panoramic sunny terrace and newly refurbished interiors of this townhouse. As we're finickity, the downstairs living space feels a little bijou, but with that covered panoramic balcony outside, we don't think you'll mind. And kids will love the novelty of the top-floor mezzanine bedroom with a TV den to spill out into. Perched amidst the hillsides, 700 metres above the lake, you're quietly removed from the bustle. But when it's time to dip your toes into lakeside living, Stresa's grand promenades and history-rich streets bustling with trattorias are just a five-minute drive away.

Top of the Lake

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

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

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.

When you step inside this 17th–century villa, there’s a sense of being transported to another time and place. With its atmospheric presence and poetic beauty, it’s the kind of home that’s been designed for beautiful gatherings. 

Set within the charming village of Baveno, just a short drive from Milan, this is the perfect setting for friends and family to celebrate in traditional Italian style. The communal spaces feel intimate and personal – with artistic details that inspire curiosity and intrigue. 

Follow the creative spirit through the pink inner patio and into the kitchen – this is a wonderful place to cook and socialise. No doubt you’ll be inspired to take your morning coffee outside and into the gardens. With views across Lake Maggiore and the famous Borromeo Islands, it’s easy to get lost in the magic of this setting. Spend slow days by the swimming pool, reading beneath the trees and enjoying long lunches on the terrace. 

It’s only a short walk from this home onto the main boulevard of the village where you can pick up any supplies. Or wind your way around the lake, stopping in a local cafe to admire the views.

As the sun sets across the mountains, you’ll love coming together around the large dining table to raise a glass of local wine, and share the beauty of Italian living. 

The Sofia Rose

Paid Parking

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

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

Looking for a tranquil escape amidst the beauty of the Italian countryside? We have the perfect place. Tinged with bright colours and exuding a sense of intimacy, this private retreat is tailored for romantic getaways.

It's hidden amongst the verdant forestry, away from the sounds of urban life and busy streets. Wake up and feel completely refreshed, ready for a relaxing day amongst the natural beauty of your surroundings.

Spend your days lazing around the garden, catching some gentle rays from the sun whilst you read a book. The shared terrace is a paradisal spot for sunrise or to settle down into the romance of sunset. Grab a bottle of wine from the local shop to enhance the magic of the moment.

If you're up for exploring a little further, the charming town of Cortazzone is just a three-minute drive away. Here, you'll find welcoming cafes and authentically Italian restaurants. Try the freshly-cooked pasta or pizza before wandering the town with gelato in hand.

This bright and modern studio situated in the picturesque town of Lugano is a great place for a couple or a solo traveller to base themselves while they make the most of all that this beautiful Italian-speaking region of Switzerland has to offer. 

While the studio is compact in size, it has all the comforts to make your time a relaxing one – not to mention all the shared facilities which are definitely an added perk. Arrive to be greeted by a light-filled open-plan space, with a huge sofa which easily transforms into a plush double bed. There’s also a dining table for two, perfect for those romantic suppers which you’ll be able to easily rustle up in the well-equipped kitchen area. In case you don’t feel like cooking, there’s also a restaurant and bar downstairs. Later you may want to step outside onto the balcony and share some wine – this is also a great spot for a morning coffee with a view over the mountains. 

Outside you’ll be close to the vibrant Piazza Della Riforma, the heart of the city, which you can reach in twenty minutes by walking – the same amount of time it'll take you to get to the shores of the lake. You’ll also find a charming local farmers’ market offering the best fresh produce. For business travellers, the apartment is just an eleven-minute walk from the Centro Esposizioni Lugano exhibition centre and an eighteen-minute walk from the Palazzo Dei Congressi Lugano.

Morning Coffee & Views 

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

This contemporary apartment is located in Via Tommaso Grossi in Como, offering panoramic views of the city and lake from the communal rooftop terrace. We love the sleek interiors of this home, which provides a comfortable stay for a family or group of friends. Just note – as a party of five, two people will draw the short straw and sleep on the sofa bed in the living room. Still, it’s a sacrifice we’d be willing to make for this pad’s enviable location. If the views tempt you out for a meander, you’ll find Como at your feet just waiting to be explored. 

A Picture of Como

Bathrobes

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 Beach

This contemporary home was designed by a creative architect and features a large terrace stretching around half the apartment. Your host can provide free baby equipment and pets are welcome, making it an ideal choice for families. While there is the potential for some noise from other residents of the building, you'll have space to sit outside with an alfresco meal or drink and look out toward the glittering Lake Lugano. We think you'll want a car here for getting the most out of your stay, whether it's exploring the shops and fantastic restaurants or parking up and taking a scenic walk by the water.

The Emerald Fountain 

Trash Compactor

Right in the centre of the buzzing, lakeside city of Como, this bright and elegant apartment welcomes you for a slice of the dolce vita. The winding streets that surround this apartment are filled with vibrant bars and trendy restaurants, all within old-world buildings. Wander the streets and emerge onto Lake Como, where the lakefront is lined with cafés and bars serving Aperol spritz at the sun sets over the water. 

Back at the apartment, it’s a refreshing medley of stark white walls and dark-wood beams lining the ceiling. Sunlight streams into the bedroom and the open-plan living room from traditional Italian windows. A rainbow of crockery is displayed like items in a museum in the wall-press and the sleek kitchen has everything you need to whip up breakfast or a quick meal. The best bit is a little wrought-iron balcony, set up with a bistro table so you can enjoy an Aperol spritz in the fresh air. 

The Kitchen Gallery

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.


Lake Song

Petite and pretty, you'll find this home right on the edge of Lake Como, near the centre of Tremezzo. It's ideal for couples or very small families who are looking for some peace and quiet to enjoy this idyllic corner of Italy. 

The kitchen is ready for you to whip up some delicious meals, or simply arrange some antipasti, depending on what you feel like. Mix an Aperol Spritz and head out to the patio to enjoy your apperitif in the fresh air with a view of the lake – your host will even provide comfortable deckchairs and tables. If you need to catch up on emails then there's a dedicated workspace, and at the end of the day you'll love curling up in the perfect pink bedroom. 

You can walk to the centre of Tremezzo and the famous Villa Carlotta in only eight minutes from here, and you're also close to Scalo di Villa Carlotta ferry landing, which can take you around the lake to several points of interest. Plus, the city centre of Como is around a forty-minute drive away – visit the cathedral and wander along the promenade before you hop on the funicular railway for an excellent view.

Rose Petal

If you’re searching for somewhere you can just drop off your bags and head straight out to explore, this could be the home for you. Nestled in the heart of Como, this home has elegance running through its core. Ideal for a small family or group of friends, this apartment is kitted out with everything for a relaxing stay. But, the cherry on top for us is the location. Mere steps from the Duomo and the tranquil shores of Lake Como, ticking off the city’s hotspots is easy here. 

Como Calling

Paid Parking On Premises

Treat yourself to a stylish stay at this recently renovated one-bedroom apartment. Just five minutes from the lake, this home offers you the chance to experience the glitz and glamour of Lake Como without necessarily requiring a bank balance with as many zeros as George Clooney's (whose own vast lakeside villa is approximately 20km away).

Cute and compact, with comfortable seating, stylish dining and culinary creativity all possible – this Como flat is the complete couple's package. Large windows look out over the neighbourhood, while French doors offer direct access to a private balcony. Finally, a cosy bedroom lies just off the main living space, with a chic contemporary bathroom occupying the opposite corner.

Head downstairs, and you can reach the cafe-lined Piazza del Duomo and Como's gothic cathedral in a little under ten minutes on foot, while the lake's shimmering waters are no more than a kilometre from your front door. For jaw-dropping vistas, drive a few kilometres out of town and take the Brunate funicular 500m to the top. Alternatively, enjoy a whole new perspective from the water, with boats waiting to whisk you off to other shoreside settlements from the nearby ferry terminal.

Il Piccolo Principe

With its feet right on the banks of Lake Como, this modern and fuss-free apartment is as close to the water you can get. Your mornings will begin on the balcony, with a cappuccino and flaky pastry, or on the shingle of your private beach to watch boats cut through the gentle waves. 

After soaking up the sunshine from a lounger, nip back inside to cool off with a glass of something refreshing in the fuss-free living space. Pick the comfiest spot on the sofa or pull up a chair at the dining table – the minimalist furnishings have been carefully positioned to ensure you won’t miss a second of the stunning vistas. 

If you feel like exploring, charming Bellagio is a twenty-three-minute drive away. Weave through the tangle of cobbled streets, dipping in and out of artisanal boutiques before stopping for an Aperol in waterfront bars to catch the sunset.
