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.

Home truths

    Parking in Torno can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.

    Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise.

    You'll need to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.

    We think some areas could do with a refresh. In particular, the terrace looks a little tired.

    There may not be curtains on all the windows, so the home may not feel fully private. You might want to bring an eye mask if you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in.

    The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.

    The ceiling in some areas is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests.

    The host can provide a baby cot and a high chair, at an extra cost
