A Step from the Swiss Border (Como Gateway)

The accommodation, recently renovated and carefully furnished, offers cozy and functional spaces, perfect for a comfortable stay. The living area features a large lounge with a sofa bed, allowing an extra guest, and a foldable dining table designed to leave more freedom of movement (Please note: the sofa bed is not prepared, we think it is proper to use the sofa during non-sleeping hours.

From the living room, you can access the spacious double bedroom, furnished with a large wardrobe and a chest of drawers providing plenty of storage for your clothes.
