The Property — Il coniglio sulla luna
Il coniglio sulla luna is a small, family-run three-star near the lakefront in Como, with a casual, unfussy atmosphere. The lobby is compact and tiled, with a reception desk that often has a bowl of local sweets, and the vibe is more practical than polished. It suits couples or solo travellers who want a clean, central base without paying for hotel extras they won't use. The USP is the rooftop terrace with genuine lake views – that’s where guests gather for evening drinks from the honesty bar.
Chronicles of Como
Como was founded as a Roman settlement, Novum Comum, in 59 BC under Julius Caesar, and its medieval walled centre still follows the original Roman grid. The city’s architectural centrepiece is the marble Duomo, built between 1396 and 1740, which blends Gothic and Renaissance styles. Como’s lakefront promenade and Liberty-style villas date from the 19th-century tourist boom, when wealthy Milanese built summer houses here. Today, the city balances its heritage as a silk-manufacturing hub with a steady flow of visitors heading to the lake and the mountains.
Best Time to Visit
Full Como guide →Best months
May, June and September – warm afternoons (24–28°C), long daylight hours, and fewer crowds than July–August. June has the best balance of settled weather and manageable hotel rates.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the peak, driven by European summer holidays and the Como Film Festival in late July. Hotel prices typically double from shoulder-season rates, and walk-in availability is near zero.
Budget shoulder season
April and October are the best budget shoulder months: milder weather (15–20°C), about 30–40% cheaper rates, and the lake ferries still running on reduced schedules.
Weather & packing
Como’s climate is humid continental, so summer afternoons can turn abruptly into thunderstorms with gusty winds. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and shoes that dry quickly – not just sandals.
Live City Briefing — Como
- As of June 2026, the Como-Brunate funicular is closed for maintenance until late August – take bus C30 from Piazza Matteotti to Brunate instead.
- The new pedestrian zone along Piazza Cavour and Via Plinio is now permanent, so traffic noise is lower but some side streets are blocked off.
- July 2026 brings the 35th Como Film Festival (21–28 July), with outdoor screenings at Villa Olmo – expect higher crowds and booked-out restaurants during that week.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Il coniglio sulla luna, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor facing the internal courtyard. These rooms are quieter than street-facing ones and get decent natural light in the afternoon.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor near the lift and any room directly overlooking the street — Como's narrow roads carry scooter and pedestrian noise well into the evening.
Best views
Upper courtyard-facing rooms offer a glimpse of rooftops and maybe a sliver of lake if you lean out; street-facing rooms show the historic street but with constant traffic noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the most peaceful, as they're above street-level bustle and away from the small lobby and breakfast area on the ground floor.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise is the main issue — Como's centre has cobbled streets with mopeds, delivery vans and pedestrians. The lift is audible on lower floors. No bar or restaurant noise because it's a small 3-star.
Insider tips
Request a late checkout if possible (they often oblige outside peak season) so you can enjoy the breakfast buffet without rushing. If you're driving, ask reception for the nearest public garage code — street parking is scarce and expensive.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Como San Giovanni station → El Paso Ranch, Via Martino
💡 Use lines C50 or C52; ask driver for stop ‘El Paso’ or walk 10 mins from Piazza Roma.
Como Grandi Stazione (bus stop outside the train station) → Bruzella stop (Via ai Colli, near La Collina)
💡 Buy a ticket (€1.50) from the tabacchi or newsstand near the station—validation is mandatory on board. The bus is steep and winding, so grab a seat. After Bruzella, walk uphill 5 mins; the residence is the first driveway on the right after the hairpin bend.
Como city centre (Piazza Matteotti) → Hotel Casa di Teresa Confalonieri Casati (stop: Via Carcano/Cernobbio)
💡 Bus C50 goes closer to the hotel (stop at Via Carcano, 200m walk). C40 stops at Piazza Roma — a 10-minute walk uphill. Validate your ticket on board, or buy via the 'Como Urbano' app to avoid cash.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Hotel La Sorgente, via xx, Como
💡 Book in advance with an official 'NCC' car service for fixed rates around €100-120. Avoid drivers who approach you outside arrivals; they may overcharge or take indirect routes.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP), taxi rank outside arrivals → B&B Le Ortensie, Via Gallio 22, Como
💡 Agree the price before getting in – look for the fixed-rate sign at the taxi stand. For a group of 3–4, it's not much more than the bus. If you're arriving late, pre-book with a Como-based taxi service like Radio Taxi Como (+39 031 261 515) – the airport rank can be thin after midnight.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Residence La Collina & La Collinetta, Como
💡 Pre-book with a local company like Comotaxi or TaxiComo to avoid surge pricing. The hotel is on a hill near San Fermo, so drivers may charge an extra €10 for the steep last stretch.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Casa di Teresa Confalonieri Casati, Como
💡 Book a fixed-price transfer online beforehand — local taxis at the airport often charge €20–30 more. The hotel can arrange a driver for a similar rate.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP), Terminal 1 bus stop → Como Grandi Via Gallio bus station (5 min walk from B&B Le Ortensie)
💡 Buy tickets online in advance to skip the queue at the airport machines. The bus drops you by the lake; the B&B is a flat 5-minute walk east along Via Gallio. No shuttle runs after 10.30pm, so for late arrivals, take the Malpensa Express train to Como San Giovanni station instead.
Malpensa Airport (MXP) Terminal 1 → Como San Giovanni station
💡 Change at Saronno to a regional train; buy a return for 20% off.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP), airport station → Como San Giovanni railway station (10 min walk from B&B Le Ortensie)
💡 The train arrives at Como San Giovanni (south end of town). From there, walk north along Viale Innocenzo XI for 10 minutes – the B&B is on Via Gallio. Avoid buying at the machine if you have a contactless debit card: tap in and out at the gate for the same price.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP), bus stop at Terminal 1 arrivals → Como Grandi Stazione (San Giovanni, the main bus station)
💡 Buy a return ticket (€28) on the Terravision or Nordbus website—cheaper than two singles. From the station, take bus C10 to the stop 'Bruzella' then walk 5 minutes uphill; the residence is at Via ai Colli 10.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Hotel La Sorgente, Como
💡 Buy a combined ticket from MXP to Como Lago station. At Milano Centrale change platforms but stay in the same direction. From Como Lago station: Hotel La Sorgente is a 10-minute walk north along Lungolago Trento. Cheaper than taxi, but takes longer.

Top Attractions in Como
💡 The tower climb costs €2 and gives panoramic views, but skip it if queues are long – better to walk up to Brunate for free views.
💡 Climb the worn stone staircase to the upper gallery for an elevated view of the cathedral square, especially good at sunset.
💡 Walk the full stretch at sunset for the best light on the lake and mountains. Stop at the public fountain near the war memorial for a free drink of cold mountain water.
💡 Look for the 13th-century fresco of St. Christopher on the left wall. Combine with a visit to the nearby Piazza San Fedele for a coffee at Bar Mazzini – locals’ spot, not touristy.
💡 Look for the carved capitals on the columns inside—they show medieval scenes including a hunting cycle, rarely pointed out in guides.
💡 Sit on the steps near the ferry dock at sunset for free entertainment—locals gather for impromptu music and the light turns the water silver.
💡 Check the small crypt below the altar — it's usually open and contains early Christian remnants. Combine with a walk through the adjacent old fish market square.
💡 Stand below the gate at sunset for photos—the light hits the stone nicely, and you can read the historical markers in Italian and English.
