Right in the centre of the buzzing, lakeside city of Como, this bright and elegant apartment welcomes you for a slice of the dolce vita. The winding streets that surround this apartment are filled with vibrant bars and trendy restaurants, all within old-world buildings. Wander the streets and emerge onto Lake Como, where the lakefront is lined with cafés and bars serving Aperol spritz at the sun sets over the water. Back at the apartment, it’s a refreshing medley of stark white walls and dark-wood beams lining the ceiling. Sunlight streams into the bedroom and the open-plan living room from traditional Italian windows. A rainbow of crockery is displayed like items in a museum in the wall-press and the sleek kitchen has everything you need to whip up breakfast or a quick meal. The best bit is a little wrought-iron balcony, set up with a bistro table so you can enjoy an Aperol spritz in the fresh air.
