Central stay with lake views
The Barchetta Excelsior has secured a winning spot on Piazza Cavour, right at the heart of Como. The hotel faces the lake, which means sweeping views over the water from almost every angle. In addition to being well-placed for sightseeing around Lake Como, the hotel is within a five-minute walk of the train station, which provides connections to Milan and its airport.
Heading out and about? The Duomo and plenty of museums are just a hop, skip, and a jump from the hotel’s doorstep, as well as a string of designer shops and boutiques. If you want to see Como from above, visit Brunate – a hilltop town of Art Nouveau villas with sweeping views over the lake. The funicular station is less than a 10-minute stroll away.
Rooms here are bright and cosy, and make the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring. Each one comes with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a satellite TV, and a private bathroom. Want to treat yourself? Book one of the rooms with a private balcony and views over the lake.
Feeling peckish? The hotel’s Bistro Restaurant has got you covered with a menu of Italian and international dishes. A Continental breakfast buffet, meanwhile, is served at the Barchetta Restaurant on the first floor. Here, you can tuck into freshly baked pastries while taking in panoramic lake views.
