About this apartment rental
The vacation apartment is in a fantastic hillside location in Pognana Lario, a small village in a privileged position between Como (12 km) and Bellagio (17 km) in the inner triangle of the lake. The house faces the lake on the lakeside road, approx. 90 m as the crow flies above the lake. The impressive hillside location offers plenty of sunshine and a fascinating view of the lake and the surrounding mountains. There is a typical Italian village bar with ice cream, cappuccino, prosecco and small snacks at the entrance to the lakeside road. The balcony is furnished with a dining table and chairs.
The Raphael apartment is located in an apartment building on a hillside with several apartments and a bar on the first floor. The entrance to the staircase is on the street side and a staircase leads down to your apartment. You enter directly into the bright and light-flooded living area with dining table and living area and balcony with magnificent lake and mountain panorama.
On the mountain side is a guest WC with washbasin, WC and washing machine, as well as a small separate kitchen.
To the side is the master bedroom with a double bed facing the lake. Let the sun wake you up in the morning with a fantastic view of the lake. On the mountain side is the second bedroom with double bed and bathroom en suite with washbasin, shower, bathtub with massage. Bathroom and bedroom have no windows.
The apartment impresses with its size, furnishings and location. The view is beautiful. The bar on the mountain side is only occasionally noticed and is an enrichment for guests who value some service “around the corner”. The obliging manager Signora Durini speaks German. The apartment is recommended all year round.
For vacation with friends / extended family is in the same house the apartment Sonia Musica Aperol.
Next to the house there is a parking lot with a barrier with reserved parking space for your apartment, other public parking spaces in the immediate vicinity.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa di Raphael. The apartment is spacious and very quiet, with two large bedrooms and a jacuzzi – a perfect place to fully relax. The view over the lake is stunning, both in the morning and in the evening. It’s lovely to sit out on the balcony and enjoy the view.
A real highlight is Bar Sonia, right above the apartment. Ideal for a fresh cappuccino in the morning and later an aperitivo with a view over the water.
The location is excellent: you can reach Como quickly by boat or bus, and from there Milan is just a short train ride away. Parking is available right in front of the apartment.
The apartment was clean, the host was friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Lovely apartment on Lake Como – perfect for children!
We had a wonderful week in this stylish apartment with a fantastic view of Lake Como. We stayed with our two young children, and it was truly perfect. The apartment was even nicer than expected because the Dutch owners had improved the interior even further after we booked – a lovely surprise!
Contact was smooth, and the owners were very helpful. The complex also has a cozy bar with delicious pizzas and a beautiful view. We were a bit worried about some noise, but you really don't notice any.
The idyllic Careno Beach is a 5-minute drive away. After a short walk down narrow streets, you'll reach a quiet beach where children can play safely – water shoes are a good idea.
The location is perfect for trips to Como and Bellagio. We're curious to see what it will look like in a few years, because the owners have exciting plans. We'll definitely be back!
