A Former Textiles Factory Reborn in the Heart of Como
This fantastic old factory loft has been given a distinctively new modern spin, without sacrificing its historic charm and character. We like the building's soaring open interiors, rugged stone and calm sophistication with colorful furnishings and art that tie it all together.
This former textiles factory building is located in the heart of the city of Como at the southernmost tip of the western branch of the lake. Arranged around a central courtyard, the building is front and center within the bustle of the city streets and within easy reach of the spectacular lakefront and mountain sights.
Restored with a subtle hand, the historic features remain intact with double-height timbered ceilings, rugged stone walls and newly crafted finishes with subtle modern retrofits that don't detract from the buildings original character. Expansive and open, the interiors have a quiet intimacy, with two mezzanine levels that divide the living and sleeping quarters.
The main floor is bright and sunny, with large windows and warm wood floors with both a lounge and separate dining area off the fully-equipped modern kitchen. The second level mezzanine features the loft bedroom and office space with balconies overlooking the floors below. Punctuated with a few key pieces of contemporary furnishings and lively pops of color, the decor is kept to a minimum creating a simple and stylish retreat.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Wifi throughout, satellite cable TV. Bath amenities and linens. Housekeeping during stay upon request (€12 per hr., min. 2 hrs) with on site laundry facilities. Private cook upon request. Climate control. On site parking.
AROUND
For centuries this exclusive enclave has been a celebrated destination for royalty, aristocrats and celebrities to play and enjoy the unparalleled beauty of Italy's northern lake region. Based at the foothills of the Alps and offering dramatic scenery of the surrounding mountains and the crystal clear waters, Lake Como's iconic character and natural beauty are uniquely atmospheric and impressive.
Dotted with charming villages and spectacular villas along both legs of the lake, the town of Como is at the southern most tip of the western branch. The busy waterfront city has a long history and orbits around the centro storico old town, with picturesque piazzas and historic duomos, cafes and a more lively urban feel. A great launching spot for exploring the region, the ferries are the best way to take in the many lake vistas and visit the famed towns of Bellagio, Tremezzo, and Varenna.
