Serenade by the Lake

Serenade by the Lake: Lombardy

When we think of Lake Como, we dream of beautiful views over shimmering water and mountains beyond. With this apartment, you don't have to imagine – take a look at the vistas from the terrace. Okay, maybe you'd call them lake glimpses through the trees, but that adds to the charm. Inside, the interiors are rustic and at full capacity, two people will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the open-plan living space. If that's not an issue, there's plenty to explore out and about. Located in Blevio, there's the stunning Giardinetti Di Sorto, a short walk away, or go for a hike through the forests of Sasso del Lupo nearby.

Home truths:
*There are steps outside and three steps (without a rail) down to the open-plan living area.
*Guests three and four would be on a sofa bed in the living room – if you're looking for a home with ample space for socialising, we'd recommend this home for two guests only.
*There are only two seats around the small bistro table on the terrace, but if you're a group of four, there are enough seats at the dining table in the kitchen. Also, the only bathroom is en-suite, so guests three and four will need to go through the bedroom.
*Given the home's spot in a tourist area, you may hear some noise.
