Renovated by a local architect, this stone house sits in the historic village of Careno on Lake Como. Accessible only on foot, it spans two levels: the upper floor hosts a bright living area with breathtaking lake and mountain views, while the ground floor offers two bedrooms and a bathroom. The house is very cozy, featuring exposed wooden ceilings and spacious open areas, including a large living and dining room with a comfortable seating area. The kitchen is fully equipped and includes a Nespresso coffee machine. There is high-speed Wi-Fi and a large QLED Smart TV with all the most popular streaming apps. The windows offer beautiful views of Lake Como. The bedrooms are furnished with one standard double bed and one small double bed. The bathroom includes a walk-in shower. The house features an internal staircase with alternating treads. It is quite steep, please refer to the photo in the listing for reference. The house is surrounded by nature and can only be reached on foot via a steep staircase from the main road (photo of the staircase featured in the listing). The private parking provided is along the main road. The uphill walk takes about 5 minutes. Continuing along the same path, you can reach Monti di Careno, a small village perched on top of the mountain. Self check-in is available for guests with an easily accessible pad-lock.

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.
