Combining stunning Lake Como views with a whole host of spa amenities, this apartment strikes us as an ideal tonic for cluttered minds. The living space is functional if a little on the sparse side, but it is awash with sunlight. That's thanks to the large French doors, which open onto the balcony – there you'll find an alfresco dining spot, perfect for twilight digestifs. In the shared spa, you're spoilt for choice, with a sauna, Turkish bath, massage tables, and heated pool vying for your attention.

  • No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
  • Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
