Hotels in Como

For many, the name alone conjures images of the deep blue lake it sits beside. Como is a city of elegant waterfront promenades and a historic center woven with narrow lanes, all framed by the dramatic foothills of the Alps. The main draw is, of course, Lago di Como itself, best experienced by hopping on a ferry to visit villages like Bellagio or Varenna. Back in the city, don't miss the intricate facade of the Como Cathedral or the funicular ride up to Brunate for breathtaking panoramic views.

The city center, particularly around Piazza Cavour and the lakefront, is ideal for first-time visitors who want to be close to ferry terminals, restaurants, and shops. Como suits a wide range of travelers: couples find it romantic, families enjoy the boat trips and easy walks, and its proximity to Milan makes it a viable base for business travelers seeking a quieter evening. Getting here is straightforward via direct trains from Milan's Cadorna or Centrale stations, which take about an hour.

On HOTEVI, you'll find 136 hotels in and around Como. The selection is diverse, ranging from historic palazzos turned into luxury hotels right on the water to a strong offering of mid-range and boutique hotels in renovated buildings in the centro storico. There are also several modern business-style hotels near the train station and more budget-friendly options in the surrounding areas.
