THE SPACE
Daisy is a light-filled, 45m² (485 sq. ft.) apartment for two, designed with curated boho-chic interiors and thoughtful details at every turn. Originally built in the early 1800s and lovingly renovated, every room opens onto lake views — including straight from your queen-sized bed. The thick historic stone walls keep the apartment naturally cool in summer, and the indoor candle fireplace makes it irresistibly cozy in winter.
THE LIVING ROOM & KITCHEN
Two large lake-view windows flood the living room with natural light. Step straight out onto your private terrace from the sofa, or work at the dining table for two — which doubles as a dedicated workspace with fast, stable Wi-Fi (our guests confirm it’s reliable for video calls). The fully equipped kitchen features premium appliances, including:
• Smeg induction stove & stainless steel double oven
• Nespresso machine with complimentary coffee
• Smeg Fridge, freezer, microwave, hot water kettle, toaster
• Wine glasses, cookware, all utensils — everything for a romantic dinner in
THE BATHROOM
One of the most-talked-about features of Daisy. The en-suite bathroom is divided into two areas: a spacious anteroom with dual sinks, and a walk-in rain shower set against a stunning exposed natural rock feature — the original 1800s foundation of the house built into the hillside. Unique, beautiful, and completely unexpected.
THE BEDROOM
Wake up to lake views from your queen-sized bed, dressed in cotton linens. Eclectic, lovingly chosen furnishings, a window-door opening directly onto the terrace, blackout curtains for a perfect night’s sleep, and a built-in closet for comfortable longer stays.
THE TERRACE
Your private terrace is the heart of the apartment. Bathed in afternoon and evening sun, it delivers an uninterrupted 180° panorama of Lake Como. There is also the common terrace and garden that feature:
• Sun loungers for lazy lake afternoons
• Armchairs and a low table — perfect for sunset aperitivos
• Outdoor dining table for two — alfresco meals with the best view on the lake
• Charcoal BBQ grill for balmy summer evenings
• Binoculars — spot Riva boats, osprey fishing, and George Clooney’s Villa Oleandra across the shore
FAMILIES & PETS
Daisy is fully pet-friendly — we even prepare a little welcome gift for your furry companion. Families with young children are warmly welcome: high chair and crib, both available on request. Please note this listing is best suited for mobile guests comfortable with the stairs.
WORKCATION-READY
Fast, stable Wi-Fi and a workspace make Daisy equally perfect for those who want to combine work with a Lake Como escape. Multiple guests have confirmed the connection is reliable for video calls — with arguably the most inspiring office view you’ll ever have.
WINTER & OFF-SEASON MAGIC
Don’t overlook Daisy from November to February. Crisp sunny days, zero tourist crowds, and cozy evenings by the indoor candle fireplace make this one of Lake Como’s best-kept secrets in the off-season. Lower rates, available dates, and the lake all to yourself — book early for the best deal.
SPECIAL OCCASIONS
Planning something memorable? Let us know in advance and we’ll arrange prosecco, flowers, a birthday cake, airport transfers, or a private boat tour. Daisy has hosted engagements, honeymoons, milestone birthdays and anniversaries — we love making them unforgettable.
COZY EVENINGS
On cooler evenings, the indoor candle fireplace transforms the living room into the most romantic spot on the lake. Curl up with a book from our collection, stream on the 32” Smart TV (Netflix included), play a board game, or simply listen to the silence — broken only by birdsong and the distant sound of boats. Pure dolce far niente.
LOCATION & GETTING AROUND
Pognana Lario is a genuine hidden gem — an authentic Italian village away from the tourist crowds, yet perfectly connected to everything Lake Como offers:
• Public ferry dock: 2-minute walk (scenic rides to Bellagio, Como & beyond)
• Bus C130: 3-minute walk uphill — direct to Como (25–30 min) and Bellagio (30–35 min)
• Lake swimming spot: 5-minute walk
• Local minimarket, Peppo’s Bar & Villa Lario restaurant: all within walking distance
• Como town: 20 minutes by car • Bellagio: 25 minutes
• Free parking: 5 public lots nearby (3–8 min walk)
One note on the stairs: Pognana Lario is built into the hillside — there are approximately 200 steps from the main road to Daisy. Pack light and save your energy for the views. As dozens of our guests have put it: “worth every single step.”
