Lake como which town to stay

Looking below, you can see the swimming pool. In fact, you can enjoy it sometimes even more if you find a nice spot surrounded by nature.

Hotel Ristorante Glavjc is located between the city of Como and Bellagio. Our trip went from Menaggio to Torno here and ended in Bellagio and a ferry trip to Varenna.

So it was the perfect spot to rest on our way. This hotel is elevated enough that you have a wide sweeping range of vision and fabulous balconies. It feels a bit like being in a Saved By The Bell episode. I basically had to be rolled back to my room after this dinner.

The breakfast area has really nice wide windows. Do you still have any questions? Feel free to leave them in the comments if so, and do check out my detailed Lake Como itinerary if you are looking for more inspiration on both popular and off-beat places to visit near Lake Como!

Hi there! I'm Monica, an American expat living in Germany for over six years and using every opportunity to explore the world from my homebase in Berlin. My goal is to capture my memories in photos and posts that show how easy it is to start from scratch and travel the world by working abroad.

An Efficient 3-day Amalfi Coast Itinerary for Not a Nomad Blog. Thank you so much for everything!! Can't wait to go back!! Glad to hear that you had a great time in Italy, Kathryn.

You see - all the worrying was for nothing :. I've never been so indecisive in my life! I booked the first 3 days at Villa Flori, then an overnight in Venice. Mon-Saturday the following week I have Hotel Terminus. I think it's too long and too expensive to stay an entire week there.

I've been looking at airbnb or a lesser expensive hotel in Como. Too many hotels changes in a short period of time. Don't you think? If I don't hear from you again, thank you so much for having such a lovely website and for responding to my nervousness! You have been a huge help! Jurga, Thank you so much. I think I will be fine once I get there. I will reference your website while I'm there. So many good suggestions on places to see.

I love your website and I think you are great! Hi Kathryn, whatever you decide, I'm sure it will be just fine. Stop worrying too much and enjoy your vacation. I am agonizing over this. If you had a choice which would you pick for a few days? Hotel Villa Flori or Hotel Miralago. It's more about location for me. I just don't know which one to choose. Jurga, Villa Flori said the ferry stop is in Tavernola and a 5 minute walk.

I was thinking Hotel Miralago for easy access to boat because my first day I want to go to Bellagio before everything closes. I guess restaurant options are easier at hotel Miralago. Villa Flori looks gorgeous! And my daughter can care less! Then I thought just stay in Como the entire time as our base. However, if you don't have a car and because I'm not sure if boats actually stop at the nearby boat stop Tavernola in the low season, I guess Hotel Miralago would be easier.

There are definitely boats stopping in the center of Cernobbio, also in the quiet months. Maybe check that first before deciding. It's always a tough choice with hotels :. When we travel, we always consider the location above everything else. But what requirements we have for the location depends so much on the way we travel - by car or public transport, with or without kids, sightseeing or more a relaxing vacation, or a combination of both, etc.

So consider what you'll do when you are in Cernobbio and then you'll see which hotel best fits your needs. Good luck! Thank you Jurga for all your tips! I love your website. It has been most helpful. I think the hardest part is where to stay.

I want to stay at all of the hotels. They all look so nice, but I have to pick just one! Thanks again for everything! You've been so good in replying to me! Also, Jurga Then Sunday to Monday go to Venice for an overnight.

Or one of them the whole time. There is a couple clinics I read that can give us our test. Wednesday is market day in Cernobbio. We love the food truck they have there and looking forward to that. Restaurants were always as struggle since I ate at my brother's house.

If you have suggestions on where to go, that would be great too! Thank you again. Hi Kathryn, it all sounds great and I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time no matter what you decide. Stay in impressive hotels with private lakeside grounds — or further up the hill there are some more budget friendly options which still boast great views. Hotel du Lac Varenna — Nestled amidst the tree covered hills, this hotel is right in the middle of Varenna.

The rooms are rustic and traditional. For a slice of the luxury lifestyle of Lake Como on a budget, stay in lovely Lecco. Spend a few nights sleeping in hotels with lake views for much less than other Como resorts. The accommodation is centered around stylish boutique hotels with balconies. Whilst in Lecco, take the ferry along the lake, promenade and devour delicious food and wine. Lecco is a key transit hub for trains traveling to Bergamo and Milan — but make sure to stop off to try the Sicilian-style ice cream that Lecco is well known for.

This applies to the rooms as well — think clean, sophisticated simplicity. The rooms at Hotel Alberi may not be luxury, but they are still newly decorated and comfortable. Not lakeside, but the shores of Lake Como are very close.

Enjoy your Italian break relaxing on the beach surrounded by the panoramic views, or soaking up the culture that the town is famous for. Bellano becomes busy with visitors in August when the town holds an opera festival, and there are many old churches and ancient local villages in the surrounding hills — this and the terrain makes the area great for hiking. Each room comes with its own balcony boasting utterly stunning panoramic views for designer sunsets.

Summers at this lovely hotel mean dining practically on the lake itself, which is an amazing experience. Little Lezzo is made up of a number of small hamlets that span the area between the shore and the mountainside. Pretty traditional homes with their delicately designed gardens overflow with flowers and wildlife. Lezzeno is all about its sweeping views across the lake across beautiful Isola Comacina, an island in the lake.

Discover the villages intriguing secrets and history and learn more about the traditional crafts the area is famous for. Enjoy a coffee and socialize with locals, and stay at stylish hotels nestled among bars and restaurants. The rooms are finished with luxury furnishings and a high-end taste in design for a super comfortable and plush place to stay. The various suites offer different lake views, too.

There are two bars to drink at, plus a restaurant with a terrace where you can dine against the backdrop of Comacina Island. The town is also the start of the Via dei Monti Lariani hiking route to Sorico, plus a great location to travel to other sites on the lake since most bus and ferry services stop here.

It boasts a large promenade with spectacular views of Cernobbio town and the lake — perfect for a stroll or to watch gorgeous sunsets. The building itself is over years old and has been meticulously restored for a decidedly romantic place to stay.
