Cozy apartment with a pool, just a short walk from the lake

Finestra sull'Isola - The Island View apartment is the perfect base for exploring both Lake Como and the surrounding mountains. It is conveniently located just a short walk from the lakefront and the charming historic centre of Sala Comacina. Our bright apartment features two comfortable bedrooms, one bathroom, a spacious living area equipped with a smart TV, games, and books for rainy days, a fully equipped kitchen, a dedicated workspace, and a balcony with a table and chairs—the ideal spot to unwind while enjoying the stunning view of Isola Comacina. The shared swimming pool is perfect for relaxing after a long hike. It is open from June through September, and swim caps are required. Pets are welcome in the apartment but are not allowed in the pool area. We provide bathroom and kitchen essentials, bed linens, and towels. A baby cot is available upon request.
Please note that there are a few flights of stairs leading down to the apartment entrance, which also means you’ll have to climb them to exit towards the street. There is no lift.
Free street parking is available near the residence. However, during the peak summer season, we recommend using public transport, as the roads in the area get very busy.
A tourist tax of €2 per person per night (maximum 7 nights) applies from April 1 through October 31 and will be collected at check-in.
Children under 12 are exempt.

About the area:

Our apartment is located in the peaceful village of Sala Comacina, just a 5-minute walk uphill from the lake. Right outside the residence, you’ll find a cobblestone staircase leading directly down to the lake (just follow the sign for LAGO). You’ll also have immediate access to the Greenway del Lago di Como, a scenic 10-kilometer walking trail that passes through some of the lake’s most beautiful villages—Colonno, Sala Comacina, Ossuccio, Lenno, Tremezzo, and Griante. It’s an easy, picturesque route that winds through ancient stone villages, green gardens, elegant villas, and charming churches—superb in any season.

Sala Comacina itself is a small, traditional lakeside village—quiet and authentic, yet with everything you need for a relaxing stay. You’ll find a small supermarket, bakery, and butcher nearby, as well as restaurants and bars by the lake where you can enjoy an evening aperitivo or dinner with a view.
Families will love the local playground, complete with a basketball court, football field, and a public sandy beach—a great spot to spend sunny afternoons by the water.

Having a car is a great way to explore the area and gives you plenty of flexibility to visit nearby towns. However, keep in mind that the roads are narrow and parking can be tricky in some of the small lakeside villages—a compact car is definitely recommended over a large vehicle.

If you prefer public transport, Sala Comacina is easy to reach:

The C10 bus runs between Como–Menaggio–Colico and stops right in the village, just in front of the bakery. The trip from Como San Giovanni station takes about 50 minutes.

In the summer, a free evening shuttle bus runs between Argegno and Menaggio, making it super convenient to attend local festivals and events without worrying about parking.

There’s also a public ferry service on the lake (though it doesn’t run very often in Sala Comacina).
