Description The Cosy Lakeview Hideaway: Carate Urio

We love the vistas over Lake Como from this apartment’s Juliet balconies in the living room and bedroom. On a practical note, the living area can get a bit cramped if four guests stay, as two will be sleeping on a sofa bed here. Also, the kitchenette doesn’t have an oven or much food preparation space, so it’s best suited to making snacks and light meals. Luckily, there are a couple of eateries nearby. This home is situated in Carate Urio on the western shore of Lake Como, with lots of residential villas. If you fancy going on a boat trip to explore Lake Como’s other towns, take a ten-minute walk to Urio’s dock.

Home truths:
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
*The host can provide a baby cot and a high chair, at an extra cost.
*Guests three and four would be on a sofa bed in the living room – if you're looking for a home with ample space for socialising, we'd recommend this home for two guests only.
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
*There are only two seats around each small bistro table in front of the Juliet balcony, but if you're a group of four, there are enough seats at the dining table in the kitchen.
*Given the home's spot in a tourist area, you may hear some noise at times.
