Penthouse


The Penthouse at Villa Cardano in Como

The spacious penthouse with over 70 square meters has two bedrooms, a separable living room with a pull-out sofa, which can be used as a third bedroom, a kitchen with dining area for 6 people and two bathrooms. The living room is equipped with satellite TV (Astra with hundreds of channels in various languages) and has access to the sunny and spacious 30 sqm roof terrace, which is to be used exclusively by the guests of the penthouse.

In addition, the house has a second approximately 65 square meter roof terrace, which is to be shared with the host and guests from the Studio. This terrace has a 270 ° panoramic view of Como, Lake Como, and the Spina Verde Nature Park. Even locals say that this is the most beautiful view of the lake they know.

All rooms have floor to ceiling windows from where you have a beautiful distant view or view of Lake Como, the city of Como or the countryside. The rooms can be completely darkened with exterior blinds. Although there is no air conditioning, you can in summer keep the apartment pleasantly cool by tilting the slats and let the breeze in from the mountains (other than at the lakeside where you often have a damp heat). In addition, the bedrooms are equipped with fans.

The kitchen is fully equipped with cutlery, crockery, an espresso machine, an induction ceramic hob, sink, dishwasher and refrigerator with 3 * - freezer.

The beds in the 2 bedrooms are extra wide (2m x 2m) box spring beds which are - according to most guests - very comfortable. Also, the pull-out couch in the living room has the same measure and is equal to a normal bed.

The bedrooms are covered with parquet, the living rooms with stone tiles. The apartment is heated by underfloor heating.

Guest access
Access to the property, the enclosed courtyard with two parking spaces and the villa is each possible with a separate code lock. The tenant receives the number codes for the doors shortly before his arrival.

The penthouse is situated in the top (2nd) floor and can be reached by walking up the stairs. Please note that there is no lift available.

Location
The accommodation is accessible in only 15 minutes by car from two motorway exits, the main train station Como San Giovanni or the train station in Chiasso / Switzerland. To Milan city center, to the airport Milano-Malpensa and to Lugano / Switzerland one needs only about 30-35 minutes by car. The historical center of Como is about 10 to 12 minutes by car or taxi. The walk to the city, although theoretically not very far, is not recommended because of missing sidewalks. Instead, you can walk in 10-15 minutes to San Fermo with some typical cafes and restaurants which are mainly frequented by locals.

Other things to note
Villa Cardano offers another apartment for 2 people with a separate entrance for rent. This apartment is also fully equipped and has a kitchenette, bathroom, and a double bed.

A travel baby bed and a high chair are available for one baby in the house on request. Please tell us right in advance to block and provide it for you.

Unfortunately, no dogs (> 5 kg) are allowed in the penthouse and on the roof terrace.

Only booked and registered guests are allowed to enter the house. If you want to show your accomodation to somebody who is not a booked guests, please ask for permission via email upfront.
Parties and other events that could disturb the other guests or neighbors are not allowed in the house. We are also not renting to groups of people with an average age of lower than 22 years. 

Como, like many other touristic cities in Italy, charges a tourist tax which is mostly paid on-site directly to the host. Since we have code-locks for self-check-in and we are not always present during your stay, the tourist tax is already included in the price for renting the apartment. This is to say that you do not have to pay anything extra after your arrival like with many other accommodations.

Booking Your Stay

If you're interested in renting the Villa Cardano Penthouse, you can send us a reservation request by selecting the desired dates on the calendar below. Once you send us a request, the date will be blocked for you on all booking platforms. However, the booking is only confirmed when you transfer the payment to us.

The reservation request does not require immediate payment or the input of credit card information. To confirm the booking, though, we typically send you via email a booking confirmation within a few hours and request that you send the full amount immediately via bank transfer (requires IBAN code) or PayPal. The costs for PayPal or currency exchange fees from a foreign currency must be borne by the guest.

We guarantee that you will not be able to book a cheaper stay at Villa Cardano anywhere than by booking directly on this website, as you save the commission of around 14-15% for sites like AirBnB and Booking.com.

  • We offer free cancellation up to one week (8 days) before your stay.

  • If you cancel less than one week before your arrival, you can still cancel the days of your stay that are more than a week (8 days) away. For example, if you cancel 7 days in advance, we will only charge you for one day, or if you cancel 6 days in advance, we will charge you for only 2 days (if applicable).

  • These cancellation conditions also apply if you need to end your stay that is longer than one week earlier than expected.

  • In addition to refunding the days, the cleaning fee will also be refunded if you haven't used the apartment.

  • Please note that the website may inform you during the booking process that cancellation is not possible. Please ignore this message. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to remove this predefined message from the booking form.
