Renovated by a local architect, this stone house is located in the historic village of Careno, on Lake Como. Accessible only on foot, it is spread over two levels: the upper floor features a bright lofted living area, while the ground floor includes the sleeping area and bathroom. The house is cozy and spacious. The living room, featuring a dining area and a comfortable lounge space, opens onto a beautiful garden with lake views. The kitchen is fully equipped and includes a Nespresso coffee machine. High-speed Wi-Fi and a large Smart TV with access to all major streaming apps are available. The windows frame breathtaking views of Lake Como and the garden. The bedroom is furnished with a double bed. The bathroom features a modern walk-in shower, equipped with an Effegibi steam generator for a relaxing hammam experience with chromotherapy. Surrounded by nature, the house is accessible only on foot via a steep staircase that starts from the main road (photo of the staircase featured in the listing). The walk uphill takes about 5 minutes.

Careno lies between Como and Bellagio, with a charming lakeside beach and great hiking and excursion opportunities. The historic village of Careno is very characteristic: a bunch of little stone houses perched on the lake side. Its position is strategic for exploring the surrounding area and visiting most of what Como Lake has to offer. By car you will easily reach both Como and Bellagio, and by ferry you can cross the lake and visit the main attractions on the other side. You can then reach by foot (5 minutes walking) Careno beach and enjoy some relax by the lake. The best way to explore this region is by car. You can easily reach Careno by bus or ferry which runs daily from Como to Bellagio. Careno doesn't have any shops or markets, only one restaurant. The closest small markets are in Nesso, the next town over, just 5 minutes away by car. For convenience, I recommend buying groceries in Como.
