This home takes its cues from its peaceful setting, surrounded by the idyllic natural beauty of Lake Como. The influence of the clear sky and the rippling waters that reflect it takes shape inside, where bold cornflower blue makes more than just a cameo appearance – it’s the prima donna. The furnishings are simple yet elegant, a marriage of old-world design and contemporary minimalism. While we love the dedicated dining corner, we’re sure you’ll want to spend lots of time outdoors in the plentiful Italian sunshine. Here you’ll find a generously sized balcony with a front-row ticket to gorgeous views of the lake for you to admire while sharing antipasti and drinking Negronis. Even though you’re wonderfully secluded here, it won’t be hard to reach Como’s city, just a short drive or bus ride away, where you can explore the pizza restaurants, cafes and bars or try your hand at water sports. Home truths: *Two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room *You may struggle to find street parking in high season, but there's a bus stop near the house with a route that takes you into Como *There is a lift in the building
