Vita Romantica

Vita Romantica: Lombardy

Live la vita romantica at this gorgeous home. The views of Lake Como are utterly breathtaking – every time we see them, we go weak at the knees. Perch like a love bird on the decorative swing right in front of the window and enjoy the heavenly vistas. When the weather is chilly, cosy up by the antique stove or head up to the beautiful bedroom and enjoy a soak in the roll-top bath while you gaze out to the lake. Add some red rose petals, a glass (or two) of Prosecco from the wine cooler and some fresh strawberries to complete this vision of bliss.

Situated in Nesso, between Como and Bellagio – follow in the footsteps of Leonardo Da Vinci, who mentioned the village in his set of drawings and writings, Atlantic Codex. This home is located less than a minute's stroll to a stunning 200-metre waterfall and the landmark Civera Bridge, which leads to this love nest's door. Or arrive in style by boat – one thing is for sure once here, you won't want to leave.



Home truths:
*If you're arriving by foot, rather than by boat, its a walk up and down stoney streets
*Guest three would be on a bed up a ladder on the mezzanine in the master bedroom – we recommend this home for two people
*This apartment is on two levels, so it may not suit those with limited mobility
*The kitchen is compact, but there are plenty of eateries nearby
*There's no TV, but with views like these who needs one
*Guest slippers are provided
*The dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly space
