Description Light at Heart: Perledo

With views over Lake Como from the private garden of this ground-floor apartment, you’ll feel relaxation wash over you from the moment you arrive. Perfect for up to four guests on an Italian getaway, just bear in mind that two people will draw the short straw and sleep on the sofa bed here – although with the lake views, it doesn’t seem a hardship. And while there’s no air conditioning, there are fans to keep cool, or you can head to the communal pool for a refreshing dip.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
*There's a communal swimming pool to enjoy here, open between May and September. It's shared with the building's other residents.
*There's no air conditioning available at this home, so it could get a little hot during the summer. That said, two fans are provided for the comfort of guests.
*The bathroom and bedroom windows look out at buildings, so the views aren't the most inspiring from these rooms.
