From the owner

An ancient house overlooking a secret and silent garden in the heart of Como. A place a bit 'magical to relive the atmosphere of the past, immersed in an oasis of peace. Where there was an ancient monastery, today a charming residence is reborn. From the large entrance overlooking the courtyard you enter a large living room with a dining table and two large sofas, one of which is a sofa bed. Brand new kitchen with fridge, dishwasher, oven, microwave, crockery and everything needed for cooking and preparing breakfast. 3 BEDROOMS 1 with 1 double bed and 1 single bed 1 with double bed, 1 with 2 single beds, equipped with refined bed linen and towels. for the little guests 2 cots, 1 crib, bar for a high chair and children's crockery Two bathrooms with shower, hairdryer and courtesy kit. the heating is autonomous. After your visits on the lake and in the city you can relax in the outdoor area overlooking a beautiful and quiet garden. Just outside the apartment you will find yourself in the pulsating heart of the city, in the narrow streets of the center with shops and restaurants. A few steps from the pier for boats, the railway station for Milan and the airport of Malpensa and Linate. You do not need a car to visit the city but if you arrive with that you can park nearby, the apartment is in fact in the pedestrian area. Upon arrival you will find a complimentary bottle of Italian wine, maps, books on the city and the lake but I will be happy to give you advice to visit the city and the lake.
