Allegretto
Nocellara is on the eighth floor, so as you might imagine, the terrace has quite the view across the city. The big French windows also let lots of light in, and it’s too high for shadows from other buildings to interfere. The scarce decoration does hold the place back a bit – there are definitely more eye-catching places to stay – but for longer stays, Nocellara is excellent value and has everything you need to be comfortable. *There's no air conditioning in the bedroom*We weren't able to test the wi-fi speed when we visited, though there is a connection*There's nothing in the way of ingredients provided, not even oil or salt*The ceiling in the bedroom is sloped, which makes it hard to get round one side of the bed*In general, there could be more effort put into decorating the flat – it's quite bare Air ConditioningBalconyBathtubBlack-Out BlindsBuzzer / Wireless IntercomCentral HeatingChild FriendlyCoffee MakerCooking EssentialsDishwa...More Details
Haven of Beauty
Lakeshore Tulips
Famous for the namesake lake and funicular railway up to the mountains, there's no shortage of adventures to be had in Como, that's for sure. During the day, hop on the ferry and visit the enchanting villages on the water, or stroll along the lakefront promenade, admiring the views. Come evening, sample delicious Italian cuisine at the countless restaurants, sidewalk cafes and wine bars in town before grabbing a gelato for dessert. It's an exciting spot to base yourself on a visit to the region – and this apartment is in the heart of it all, just a few minutes on foot from Lake Como, the train station and all the must-see sights.When you're not out and about, this pocket-sized apartment is the ideal place to rest your head.

Aloysius used to make up part of an industrial development, which has since been turned into blocks of flats. It’s got a real homely feeling to it, and you can tell that it’s somewhere that is actually lived in, rather than a flat done up purely for renting out. There’s no getting around the fact that you won’t be staying in the centre of Milan, but there’s a metro station about ten minutes from the flat, and from there it’s around fifteen minutes to the Duomo, so it’s easy enough to get into the middle of the city if you need to get there. *The stairs outside gather a bit of grime, so Gisella would prefer you to wear slippers inside*Gisella lives here most of the time, so it's very much the experience of staying in someone's home*It's a bit of a trek to get to the city centre and the nearest metro station is ten minutes away on foot Air ConditioningBuzzer / Wireless IntercomCentral HeatingDishwasherDryerFreezerFridgeHair DryerIronIro...More Details
