Year-round tranquillity above the heart and lake of Como
The bustle of everyday life is never far away from this luxury apartment that has a balcony overlooking the colourful spectacle in and around the majestic Piazza Cavour and the Como harbour. You can see, but will be unlikely to hear any noise from this elegant third-floor apartment of an aristocratic a 1920’s mansion in the heart of romantic town and at the Comolakefront. An hour by car from Malpensa and Linate airports and a mere 10 minutes away from the world-famous Villa d’Este, the apartment is conveniently located, a few steps from the cathedral and a leisurely 10-minute amble to the train station: which can come in handy for shopping jaunts to Milan. Yet, guests may never feel the need to venture far as all around are elegant boutique shops, trendy cafes, bars and restaurants, while boats docked nearby are ready and waiting to whisk you around the lake. The building’s architecture suggests a strong Venetian influence and its tiled balcony overflows with geranium to give added embellishment to the admirably beautiful panorama of lake, mountains and sunset. The apartment underwent careful restoration, with a lot of fine detailing done by hand, to retain its original style and elegance. An addition of abundant luxury features, which include a self-contained sauna with Jacuzzi tub, are incorporated and fit seamlessly within a tasteful interior décor that is further enhanced with modern pieces of art and contemporary lighting. Gleaming parquet floors, sparkling white walls and double-glazing with framed in delicate colours contrast harmoniously with the pristine white of luxury fabrics, drapes and upholstery. Guests may arrive to the apartment directly by elevator or go up via a grand marble staircase with an ornate and gated portico, whilst there is covered parking (for 2 cars) outside.
The luxury apartment sleeps 4 in 2 luxury double bedrooms en suite. Above the apartment is a top floor (‘mansarda’). This can be available to provide further options and flexibility; whether for additional 4 guests or for use as a business area. This floor benefits from havingindependent access and is fitted with the most modern technology, including a cinema room that can also be adept for conference calls! The apartment’s main living area also comes equipped with a projector and also two large corner bow windows, arranged with table and a small sofa. You may very well be enticed into spending the entire day relaxing in either spot: from breakfast to evening aperitif or whether nestling down with a good book, work or graciously gazing down at people or out to the scenic lake; all from high above. The sauna will be an attractive retreat following a long business day and during winter evenings and, although there is a neatly equipped and compact kitchen supplied with a breakfast table, guests may be tempted to pop downstairs to sample the wares of many of the area’s best restaurants that are close by.
This luxury apartment provides the perfect solutions for either a luxurious private holiday or a corporate stay, particularly if there is no desire for a swimming pool or no wish to stay in a villa. This aristocratic apartment, available all year round, is an ideal option for discerning guests that wish to enjoy a blissful stay in the very heart of Como, whilst having the opportunity to observe or to dive into the vibrant life of this noted lakeside town.
