On the first floor, therefore almost in contact with the lake, is the 'Lario apartment', a spacious(75 square meters) and luminous one bedroom apartment in this enchanting 19th century building, which was once a hotel and has recently been carefully and completely renovated and is now home to many comfortable and elegant apartments.
Situated on the lake road, running along the western shore of Lake Como, the 'Lario apartment' has a large open plan living area, beautiful stainless steel kitchen and dining area from which, when seated, all you can see is water from the three windows overlooking the lake. The comfortable bedroom has a king-size bed and a walk in closet, there is a roomy bathroom with bathtub and separate shower unit and also a utility room with washer and dryer and a small sink for hand washing.
The building is a beautiful gated building with private underground parking, situated on the boarder of the ancient village of Carate Urio, still unspoiled by modernization, keeping its old world feeling with characteristic streets and stepped lanes crossed by low bridges which join the century old houses.In fact many famous people have decided to make this area their own private paradise, for example Gianni Versace, whose beautiful villa is just 3 kms. south of the Lario apartment and also George Clooney's, delightful lake side home is 1 km north in the village of Laglio.
Everything here is new and has been chosen with great care, there are teak floors in the living area and beautiful Italian tiles in the bathroom. The furnishings, appliances, all linens and dinnerware are also brand new. The simple but tasteful furniture accommodates all tastes and offers our guests everything they need for a comfortable holiday, short break and business trip to Lake Como.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
I look after this apartment for a very good friend of mine who bought it as an investment, thinking that he would use it during the summer months. Instead, he finds himself very busy, he is in the silk indursty (Como is the silk capital of Italy) and can hardly use it at all. This is why he decided to rent it for vacation rentals. It is in a very prestigious condo in Carate Urio, closer to George Clooney's home, close to the lake and close to the city of Como, so is convenient for everything.
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium
Elegant condo, lake views, peacefull surroundings,close to the lake, private parking

Dear Silvana. Finally had time to write to you about the apartment. We found the apartment lovely and spacious and very well equipped. The vistas from every room were great, we enjoyed getting up in the morning and viewing the lake and the local neighborhood. The ferry to other towns was just a short drive away and restaurants and stores were very close by. A very enjoyable stay. Thank you, Charlie

Thanks Silvana for creating a little sanctuary away from the hustle & bustle of cars and tourists - we loved the flat, it was just perfect for us as we love to cook, relax and drink wine.

On the left is a water color sketch by Dan across the lake from the living room window of the Lario apartment. It was a gratifying sketching trip around lake Como for a couple of retired architects. There is a vista which ever way you turn. Thanks to Silvana, we'll stay in touch.

It has been a pleasure to be back at our favourite place in the world, the stunning Lake Como! The apartment was very comfortable and gave us everything we needed. Thank you Silvana for being so helpful and friendly. William has slept happily in the cot - one of the best we've encountered on our travels. We look forward to our next visit to this little piece of paradise, thank you!

We enjoyed the apartment and loved Lake Como. The market at Lenno was good and the pizza next door great for lunch/dinner. Fox town was un-expectedly good (and attractive).
