Manzoni Magic

Set in a quiet residential area yet just a short stroll from Como's lakeside and the Duomo, the setting of these two apartments is spot-on. Ideal for two couples wanting to holiday together without overcrowding each other, each apartment is self-contained for a little extra privacy. While the balcony and terrace are a bonus, the living spaces are pocket-sized – especially if you use the sofa bed in the lounge. Don't expect to rustle up much more than breakfast or a light bite in the compact kitchenettes, either. But with so many charming restaurants just a stroll away, we suspect you'll be eating out anyway.

Home truths:
*These two apartments sleep seven guests in total, with the last two guests sharing a small double sofa bed in the lounge space. We think this bed is better suited to children sharing or a single adult. One of the double bedrooms sleeps three guests in a double bed and a single sofa bed.
*You’ll check into this home with a lock box and code.
*The host can provide a baby cot and a high chair, at an extra cost.
*We think the kitchens are better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*Each apartment has its own entrance.
