Neighbourhood
The residential neighborhood is very quiet, it doesn't even seem to be in the center of a tourist city like Como.
Getting to my home
The location is perfect: a 15-minute walk from the historic center and less than 5 minutes from the Como Nord – Borghi station (the station that connects with Milan or Malpensa airport), a stone's throw from the Duomo, the lake and the funicular to Brunate. The bus stop is about 50 meters away.
Nearest airport
Malpensa Airport is about 50 minutes away by train or car.
Getting Around
The apartment is centrally located, a 15-minute walk from the pedestrian Old Town and about 20 minutes from the shores of the lake. The train station is 3 minutes away on foot. The bus stop is just a few meters away. We always recommend leaving your car in the private car park (parking is difficult in Como) and enjoying the city on foot.

Pino and his wife could not have been more hospitable hosts. Their home/apartment was beautiful, modern and clean and tidy. They picked us up from the train station and gave a mini tour of both the city of Como and their home. We're very responsive when we had any questions and we're both such wonderful people to be around. Lake Como was absolutely beautiful and we had such a wonderful time. Our only complaint was it was far too short. We would love to come back and exchange with Pino again.
We had a wonderful stay in Pino and Marina’s apartment in Como. The home is very comfortable, spotless, quiet, and equipped with everything you need. The parking is perfect and safe, and access to Como city is quick and easy.
It was lovely meeting Marina in person and getting some insider restaurant tips. Communication was always quick and easy, and the video showing how to reach the apartment and access the home was extremely helpful. The home manual was also clear and complete.
Thank you Pino and Marina for the delicious tea, such a thoughtful touch. We had a great time in Como and can highly recommend a stay here.
We spent a week at Pino's beautiful apartment in Como. The location was perfect. Easy access to public transportation and an easy walk to Lake Como and all of the lovely sights. Pino was an excellent communicator, kept in touch with us and ensured that we had everything we needed for a wonderful visit. The area is incredible, we took a boat ride to Bellagio and Varenna, enjoyed the many shops and restaurants and hope to come back again in the future.
Pino was friendly, available, and gave us excellent recommendations for exploring the lake. He made everything very easy for us.
The apartment is new, impeccably clean, and we survived the heat wave thanks to the good air conditioning! Pino's place is very quiet, and just a 15 minute walk from the city center. We enjoyed a lot our stay!
Pino’s home is beautiful and the location is perfect! Short walk to the historical town and ferry terminal. Bus stop and train station is on your doorstep too. We had the most amazing time and can’t thank Pino enough for allowing us to stay. Great communication before and throughout our stay. Highly recommend if you are planning to explore beautiful Lake Como!

Feedback for Season·Non-Reciprocal exchange·3 nights
Season and her husband are exceptional people, with the enthusiasm typical of those who love to travel. Unfortunately, their arrival on Lake Como coincided with a heat wave that had never been seen in these parts, so I guess they sweated like crazy during their visit to the lake (luckily the apartment is equipped with air conditioning). As we have already told them, they can come to Como whenever they feel like it.
Feedback for Vicki·Non-Reciprocal exchange·3 nights
Vicki and Antonette were very friendly hosts and treated our apartment impeccably. Unfortunately during their stay in Como I was abroad for work, so we did not meet but the communications with my wife Marina were punctual and effective. Come back whenever you want! A big hug. Pine
Feedback for Burt and Robin·Non-Reciprocal exchange·7 nights
Burt and Robin Burt were our guests for a week. Unfortunately, due to our work commitments, we weren't able to meet them, but we made ourselves available to them during their stay. I'm glad they had a great time! Come back anytime, you're welcome.
Gerard e Cristina sono stati ottimi ospiti. La comunicazione è stata facile e hanno trattato l'appartamento molto bene. Consiglio a tutti di averli come ospiti!
Feedback for Noreen·Non-Reciprocal exchange·9 nights
Noreen e suo marito sono stati ospiti eccezionali. La comunicazione è stata facile e hanno trattato l'appartamento come fosse loro. Consiglio a tutti di averli come ospiti!

Pino
We are a family of 4: Marina, Pino, 15 year old Anita and 12 year old Nicolò. We have lived in Como since we decided to start a family, because it is the ideal city for raising children. When we are not busy with work (we have had a Tea Shop in the historic centre of Como since 2008) we love traveling with them around the world. Availability in summer is more difficult because Lake Como is very touristy.
