Sage Green Lake Apartment, Lake Como
Lake Como shore, Lake Como, Italy
Why We Selected It
Small lake apartments are common; finished ones are not. This one has been taken back to the shell and rebuilt with real care — herringbone flooring, a nature-led palette of sage greens and dove grey, considered lighting — inside a characterful older building a few steps from the water. The whole plan turns on one thing: a large window that frames the lake and the mountain line like a painting and fills the rooms with light all day. At €240,000, finished and furnished, it is one of the most usable ways into Lake Como we have seen.

Life Here
The window
The centre of the home: lake, far shore and mountain silhouette, changing through the day from silver morning light to evening blue.
The lake
Swimming, boats and lakeside walks in summer; quiet water and clear mountain air out of season.
The building
An older building with character, small in scale — neighbours rather than a resort.
Second home or short let
Furnished, finished and easy to close up: it works as a weekend home and as a short-let apartment between visits.
Getting here
Lake Como is around an hour from Milan and its airports, with trains along the shore.
Our Perspective
Why it works
A complete, contemporary renovation on Lake Como under €250,000 — nothing to plan, budget or supervise, and a view that carries the whole apartment.
Ownership case
Compact, finished lake apartments are the easiest homes on this lake to use, to let and to sell on: low running costs, wide appeal, and a size that suits couples and short stays.
What makes it special
The design: herringbone floors, sage green walls and dove grey kitchen, all built around one large window holding the lake and the mountains.
Best suited for
Someone who wants a Lake Como base ready on the day the keys change hands — used privately in summer, let easily the rest of the year.
