Nestled in the charming town of Blevio, this apartment is ideal for a solo traveller or a couple. You'll want to pack light here as space is tight and the traditional style won't be for everyone, but if you're a creative looking for an authentically Italian stay, look no further. The bed is surrounded by bookshelves on the ground level and the mezzanine, and there's a window in the study overlooking the narrow streets and nearby buildings. Within walking distance, you'll find Lake Como, and while you won't find parking here, you can catch a bus into Como city and a train into the beautiful Milan.

Home truths
You'll need to climb stairs to reach the entrance of this home.
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
This home is very small throughout, so we recommend packing light.
The bathroom in this home is very small. That said, it has everything you need to get ready for the day.
The host can provide a baby cot and a high chair, at an extra cost.
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.
