Lake Romance

Lake Romance: Lombardy

The views of Lake Como are pretty enticing from this home in Nesso. It’s an idyllic spot for a writer’s retreat (the desk overlooking the water is a real highlight), a couple looking to explore the lakefront walking paths or a family seeking a rural spot to enjoy downtime together. There’s plenty of space here, with a third bedroom accommodating two on a sofa bed. The terrace might be our favourite spot, with a barbecue to enjoy alfresco dinners, and while there are stairs to climb here, it’s all worth it when you can open your eyes to the water each morning.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed – it's in its own space, so you can enjoy ample privacy,
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*You'll need to climb some stairs at this home.
*Given the home's spot in a fairly popular tourist area, you may hear some noise during your stay.
