The Square Apartment, Como Overview
The Square Apartment is located in Como, Italy. Rated 8.6 out of 10 based on 3 guest reviews.
The Square Apartment in Como, Italy, is a practical base for travelers who want to live close to the action without giving up the flexibility of an apartment stay. Located on Via Albertolli, 22, it places you within easy reach of central landmarks such as Piazza Cavour (about 0.4 km) and the Torre del Comune (about 0.5 km), so you can plan days around short walks rather than long commutes. The apartment setup is geared toward self-catering, with a fully equipped kitchen that includes a full-sized refrigerator/freezer and a stovetop, which is especially useful for families managing meal times.

What to Expect
