About this place

Central 2BR Apartment – Free Parking – Long Term Welcome

LISTING DESCRIPTION

Il Garovaglio is a 2 bedroom apartment with a fantastic zen garden in the centre of Como. It is a short 10 minute walk from Como Cathedral and just a short hop to the lake with all of the wonderful bistros, bars and pizzerias. The apartment is stylishly decorated and fully furnished with all that you might need be it for a long weekend or a longer stay.

THE SPACE

If it’s a lazy time you are after, look no further than the master bedroom which has a large, comfortable bed with direct access to the garden where you can relax in the morning with a cup of coffee or a glass of fizz in the evening.

There is also a double sofa bed in the living room, a retractable single bed in the office area and the kitchen is well-equipped for real Italian cooking.

Whether you are staying with us for work or pleasure, there is a mini office space to accommodate any internet browsing you may need to do, a complimentary laptop to use and even a printer (yes, we've got ink and paper!).

Be sure to enjoy the garden while you stay with us. With sunshine during the day into the early evening, if you don’t want to leave the comfort of the apartment, you can sunbathe in private or just enjoy an aperitivo and lunch on the terrace.

GUEST ACCESS

You have complete access to all areas in the apartment, the garden and the garage. Take special note of the height in the garage though, roofboxes on a 4x4 may be too tight a squeeze!

Owner

English
Hi, we are Sarah, Andrea and Edoardo, a family of 3 now living near Milton Keynes in the UK.

I'm English and my partner Andrea is Italian and we lived for many years in Como (where Andrea is originally from) before deciding to move back to the UK.

We love travelling, and other than Italy we really love the wild coast of Portugal, fossil-hunting in Dorset and sailing in Croatia.

We love giving our guests a "home from home" feeling when they come on holiday and always offer help and advice on places to eat, things to do etc when they come to stay.
