Effortlessly elegant and ideally located in Piazza Guido Grimoldi – right in the heart of Como – this apartment is a treat for those looking for a comfortable, central stay. From its glossy parquet floors to its double-height ceilings and pared-back contemporary decor, there’s a feeling of simple sophistication here that perfectly reflects the distinctly grand building in which this home is housed. Open up the living room’s French doors to step out onto the private piazza-facing balcony – the ideal spot to enjoy an early morning espresso or an evening spritz at sundown. When it’s time for bed, both bedrooms wait to drift you into a peaceful night’s sleep, ensuring you feel rested and ready for another day of adventure upon waking. Speaking of fun, ask your host to organise a boat tour of Lake Como or a local wine tasting and cooking class. Alternatively, head out to discover Como’s picturesque streets on foot, with Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta a two-minute walk away, Basilica di San Fedele a five-minute stroll and Tempio Voltiano walkable in ten.
