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!
GUEST INTERACTION
Whilst we no longer live in Como, we are always on hand if you need assistance. If you need advice on things to do, places to visit or restaurant tips, simply drop us a message and we will respond immediately.
Since the building is quiet and secure, you can be assured of absolute privacy whilst you stay there. In the event of problems, we have full remote access so you never need to worry about being locked out!
AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING
The apartment is equipped with air conditioning throughout at your control.
This also functions as heating during the autumn and winter months and with underfloor heating throughout, the ambient temperature is always pleasant.

The space is great if you have a little more trouble getting around but still want to enjoy all that Lake Como has to offer.

Meet The Host

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.
