You’ll find this unique home in the heart of Como, a mere seven-minute walk from the eponymous lake. Once an ice house, the place has been transformed into a cosy apartment – we loved the mezzanine level with frosted glass floor and the comfy crescent sofa that complements the curves of the ancient walls. There’s a kitchenette for whipping up quick snacks, but if you’ve got a hankering for hearty Lombardy fare, you’re only footsteps from traditional osterie. Spend afternoons navigating Como’s narrow cobbled streets, nipping in and out of artisanal boutiques before finding a spot by the water with an aperitvo. If you’re keen to explore further afield, catch the ferry to Bellagio – it’ll take around forty-four minutes – and stroll around the peaceful Villa Melzi gardens.

About Como

The Italian lakes bring to mind all sorts of romance. Como in particular is often referred to as the most beautiful lake in the world, with its prealpine hills, microclimate, and the beautiful towns that skirt the shore.
