Le Stanze del Lago

Como


For a touch of loft living Como-style, check into one of these five serviced apartments, where sloping wooden ceilings and rough stone walls are given bright furnishings. The ample space (including a kitchenette and a dining area) and the location in the heart of Como make them a great deal.

The same outfit also has five apartments on Via Fontana.
