I'm currently facing some issues with the latest Visual Studio 2019 version (16.7.0) and I want to go back to a previous version, specifically 16.6.2. However on the VS website I can't find a place where to download a specific version of Visual Studio, so is there a way (even non official) to download this version?

Officially, Microsoft provides older installer for VS 2019, but only the Enterprise, Professional, and Build Tools. Meanwhile Community edition
is only supported on the recommended latest release of the latest minor version of Visual Studio
So if you expect to be needing VS Community older version in the future, I suggest backing up the offline installer when they're released.
For VS2022, the list is here:
In case you need to install a specific version of the Community Edition you can download VS 20XX Professional Edition with the desired version and then, during installation, just select the Community Edition.
Steps:
- Download the installer with the required version (release history for VS2022)
- Open the installer and when the Workloads screen appears, close it to view the setup screen behind.
- On the setup screen go to the "Available" tab
- Choose the Community Edition (or the one you need...)
you can download the older version of Visual studio 2019: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2019/history#installing-an-earlier-release
