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.
