About this property

Breathtaking View over Como (Almost Paradise)

In the heart of Brunate, overlooking Como, Almost Paradise, a charming period apartment, combines authentic charm with the peace of nature. A cozy and atmospheric three-room flat, ideal for exploring Como and its surroundings, while enjoying the tranquility of a green setting, just a few steps from forest trails and spectacular viewpoints.

Upon entering, you're immediately welcomed by the authentic atmosphere of the accommodation, with wooden features and copper and ceramic decorations that reflect local traditions. The living room, furnished in a classic style and enriched with lush tropical plants, preserves typical period elements such as herringbone parquet flooring, wooden-beamed ceilings, and inlaid windows. From here, you access a small external balcony that opens onto a breathtaking view: from the snow-capped mountains on the horizon to the hills surrounding Como, the city center with its monuments, the first basin of Lake Como’s branch, and nearby Switzerland. A stunning view that lets you explore the territory from above, spotting the main attractions at a glance.The rustic-style kitchen, separated from the living room, is fully equipped with everything needed to cook just like at home. It features a beautiful counter with two stools by the window—perfect for enjoying breakfast or a snack while admiring the magnificent scenery. The sleeping area includes two bedrooms: one double and one with two single beds, both furnished with classic wrought-iron beds and practical wooden wardrobes. The bathroom has been recently renovated and features modern fittings and a spacious shower.

Quality bedding, towels and a courtesy kit are provided.

We also leave a gift basket with some necessary items for your first breakfast.

Nearby:

The apartment is located in Brunate, a charming village known as the "Balcony on the Alps" for its breathtaking views. From here, you can admire the city of Como, the lake, and on clear days, the entire western Alpine arc up to Monte Rosa. Just a few steps from the accommodation, the historic funicular connects Brunate to the center of Como in just seven minutes, offering a scenic ride through woods and picturesque glimpses. Once in town, you can explore fascinating squares such as Piazza Cavour—starting point for boat tours to famous lake destinations—as well as Piazza Volta and Piazza San Fedele. Brunate also offers many nature trails, such as the Lake Como Poetry Way, a scenic staircase down to Como narrated by notable historical figures who lived in the area, or the Strada Regia, a 30 km network of mule tracks linking Como to the villages along the eastern side of the lake all the way to Bellagio. The Volta Lighthouse, perched atop Monte Tre Croci, is another must-see with its spectacular view over the city and the lake.

How to get there:

By car: from the A9 motorway, take the “Como Centro” exit and drive to the city center. Set your GPS, and you’ll reach the apartment in about 20 minutes.

By train: from Como Lago station, walk to the funicular station in Viale Geno and ride up to Brunate. The apartment is about a 15-minute walk from the terminal station.

Firstly, absolutely fantastic view, one of the best I’ve experienced. Very characteristic property with quirky features but the beds were not the most comfortable. Unfortunately, being in such a desirable location does have its pitfalls, the wind on one of our nights was horrific and as you can imagine drafts were felt in every room which made it even colder than the previous night. I would say that in the Summer you’d be fine but during the Spring break our young child really struggled in the chilly conditions. Again, the location is stunning but with the funicular railway being closed, it was extremely difficult to get up to Brunate. On the first afternoon, we opted for an Uber and the driver dropped us in Brunate which cost £25. We then had to try and locate the apartments which took an age as no sign posts actually inform you of the building names or street etc… some time later, and after asking a few locals (who couldn’t help either) we stumbled upon a resident of the apartments who provided us with access etc. I would say the communication from Expedia, Vrbo et al was not particularly great as I didn’t receive any email asking for identification etc which when completed, then triggers an email with directions to access the premises. I was also under the impression that a breakfast ‘hamper’ was provided but this is simply a few coffee pods and a biscuit.
