Lake Como hotels allow you to marvel at the majestic Y-shaped expanse of water nestled in the heart of the Italian Alps. Covering a huge 146 square kilometres, it’s easy to escape the bustling crowds and savour moments of tranquillity.
The 4 star Hilton Lake Como lies near the southern tip of the lake, just outside Como. You’ll benefit from onsite facilities including a sky bar, rooftop pool and spa. The stunning neoclassical Villa Olmo is within walking distance, where the gardens are free to explore. And if you’re not keen on hiring a car, the bus and train options are plentiful. The walled city of Como boasts a 14th century cathedral and a funicular that will whisk you up to a panoramic viewpoint in the hilltop village of Brunate.
If you wish to stay in a traditional Italian villa then you must consider Villa Flori. This 19th century building provides modern comforts such as air conditioning and satellite TV, alongside Venetian stucco work and frescos. It’s located in the town of Tavernola Bergamasca in the southeastern corner of Lake Como. The train station is just 400m away, making it easy to access the other towns around the lake.
With so much to explore, a wide range of onsite facilities may not be your number one priority. The 3 star B&B Hotel Como offers a modern budget option within Brescia. Nearby there’s the city’s landmark - a medieval castle and the UNESCO listed San Salvatore monastery. Como Camerlata station is just 500m away, where there’s trains to various lakeside towns. They’ll even take you as far as the Swiss city of Locarno on the shores of Lake Maggiore. Alternatively, experience beauty and elegant vibes with a day trip to Milan.
