Griante (located near Menaggio and Tremezzo) is one of the most well known towns on Lake Como and since the end of the 18th century has been one of British Tourists favourite holiday resorts. Its beautiful sumptuous villas have hosted many important visitors over the centuries like Giuseppe Verdi, the British queen Victoria and the German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. The town is divided in two parts Cadenabbia on the lake and above the historic centre of Griante which you can reach along a scenic flight of cobble stone steps. This holiday apartment is an ideal place to spend an enjoyable holiday of a week or more in the most fascinating part of Lake Como, commonly known as the Tremezzina or more familiarly as “The Riviera of the Azaleas”.

The interior decor features a beautifully-finished niche where reflected light is amplified by the glass, floral shapes discovered in the stone by the creative Eugenio (cell.347-0721329)- a motif that symbolically ties the apartment with the surrounding area and its luxuriant public parks and private gardens that are a mass of blooms from the Spring onwards - and the arch created by the skilled hands of master craftsman, Livio. The soft line and colour of the wooden beam set into the ceiling is the work of Raffaele (cell.) and the curved stone used for the floors was artistically carved by Guido. It has two bedrooms leading off the entrance hall where the walls are decorated with geometric patterns in an antique red that picks up the colour of the red larch parquet floor. The double bedroom, overlooking the garden and with a side view of the lake, has air conditioning as well as heating for the winter months. The wisteria-blue colour makes for calm, relaxing atmosphere. The second bedroom, with three single beds, also has air conditioning (and heating), as well as a ‘fifties terracotta working woodstove, which blends well with the pink-painted walls. The room overlooks a charmingly-lit courtyard which serves as a private carpark for guests. It is situated on the first floor and comprises a spacious, luminous living room with country kitchen area and a sitting area. The apartment welcomes its guests with a variety of warm, vibrant colours emphasized by the mysterious, intriguing reflected light of Marrakesh, typical of the Arab world, a delight for the eyes of those seeking quiet and relaxation, or providing an ideal atmosphere for planning work commitment.
