Description Lakeside Sanctuary: Cernobbio

Originally a 17th-century convent, this home boasts a modern touch while still retaining a nod to its past. Consisting of three independent apartments, it’s an ideal base for an extended family or group of friends on an Italian getaway, with space to socialise together and privacy when needed. But the cherry on the cake? For us, it has to be the views over Lake Como. With each apartment boasting a private terrace, you can soak up the lake vistas wherever you are. And, if you can tear yourself away from this hillside sanctuary, there’s a restaurant within walking distance, and charming Cernobbio is a mere four-minute drive away.

Home truths:
*This home comprises three independent apartments, each with a kitchen and private outdoor terrace. Access between apartments is outdoor only.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
*There's a private hot tub for guests here, available 9am - 11pm daily.
*We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. The final part of the access road is steep and narrow in places, so a small to medium-sized automatic car is recommended – the road isn't suitable for vans.
*Your host asks that you respect quiet hours and keep noise to a minimum between 11pm and 7am.
