Bright and contemporary, this apartment is an ideal base for a family stay in Italy. But, the outdoor space is the star of the show for us. With views across Lake Como that take in Varenna, Bellagio, and Menaggio, it’s just the spot for relaxing over dinner and soaking up the sun. You’ll also benefit from a communal swimming pool when you stay here – or if you prefer, head to the nearby beach of Lido di Varenna, just 1.5 kilometres away, to cool off in the sea.
