Das Eigentum — Hotel Valle Intelvi
Hotel Valle Intelvi is a straightforward, family-run three-star on the lake's western shore, ten minutes from Como town by ferry. The lobby feels like a 1970s alpine lodge—dark wood panelling, worn leather sofas, and a reception desk piled with local ferry timetables. It suits independent travellers who want a clean, quiet base rather than frills: rooms are basic but spotless, many with small balconies catching afternoon sun over the lake.
Chroniken von Como
Como was founded as a Roman military settlement, Novum Comum, in 196 BC, strategically placed at the southern tip of Lake Como. Its medieval core grew around the 12th-century cathedral, whose Gothic-Renaissance facade took nearly 400 years to complete. The city prospered as a silk-making centre from the 16th century onward—a trade that still ranks as a local specialty. Today, Como balances its industrial past with tourism: you'll see silk workshops on side streets alongside crowds queueing for the funicular to Brunate.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Como-Guide →Die besten Monate
May and September: consistently mild (20–25°C), lower chance of thunderstorm interruptions, and lake crowds thin out after the Easter and August spikes.
Peak / Festival Surge
July–August; August especially, when Italian schools close and the lakefront chokes with day-trippers. Hotel rates in Como double from June averages. The main draw is the lake itself—swimming, boat hire, and the Palio del Baradello medieval festival in early September.
Budget Schulter Saison
Late April and October: rooms 30–40% cheaper than July, temperatures still comfortable (15–22°C in April, 12–18°C in October), and fewer queues for the ferry to Bellagio.
Wetter & Verpackung
Como summers can switch from still, humid mornings to brief, violent storms by late afternoon. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and close-toed walking shoes—the cobbles along Via Plinio get slick fast.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Como

- Lido di Villa Olmo's outdoor pool and lakeside bar reopens from 1 June 2026—book sun loungers online to avoid sold-out signs.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Valle Intelvi, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor with a lake-facing orientation. These higher floors minimise street-level noise from Como’s narrow lanes and offer better views across the rooftops towards Lake Como, given the hotel’s central address in Como.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor or those overlooking the rear service courtyard. First-floor rooms suffer from foot traffic and luggage rumble near the lobby. Rear-facing rooms overlook the bin storage and staff entrance, with early morning service noise from deliveries.
Best views
Rooms on the third and fourth floors facing east or south-east will catch a partial view of Lake Como between the historic buildings. The hotel’s Como address on a central street means you won’t get a full lake panorama, but upper floors lift your sightline above neighbouring rooftops.
Quietest floors
Third and fourth floors. The lift only serves four floors, so these upper storeys are furthest from ground-level disturbance and benefit from reduced street noise penetration.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Como’s pedestrianised centre and the adjacent via Borgovico (a main thoroughfare) can be noticeable on lower floors, especially after 8 pm when locals and tourists pass by. The lift whirs audibly on the first floor and near the stairwell. No bar noise reported, but the small reception area echoes voices up the open stairwell.
Insider tips
1. Check in after 3 pm to avoid queues — the single lift gets busy with departing guests. 2. If you’re arriving by car, pre-book parking at the public garage on via Borgovico, 200 metres away; the hotel has no dedicated lot. 3. Ask reception for a room key that works the side entrance on via Zezio — it cuts five minutes off your walk to the lakefront.
- 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

Geld & Währung
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs for the best rates; avoid airport and tourist bureau exchanges which have poor rates and high fees.
Cards are widely accepted in shops, restaurants, and hotels; contactless and mobile pay (Apple/Google Pay) are common; carry some cash for small bars or market stalls.
Tipping is not expected but appreciated; round up the bill or leave 5-10% at restaurants for good service; taxis and hotel staff do not require tips, though a euro or two for porters is fine.
Essen, Einkaufen und Reisen auf einem Budget
Cheap car hire →A standard espresso at a bar costs around €1.00-€1.20; a cappuccino might be €1.50-€2.00.
A slice of pizza or a panino from a takeaway is €5-€8; a sit-down lunch at a trattoria runs €12-€15 for a pasta dish.
A main course at an inexpensive restaurant costs €12-€18; add €3-€5 for a side or glass of house wine.
For cheap eats, try pizzerias al taglio (pizza by the slice) or focaccia stands in the old town and near the train station.
Budget supermarkets include Lidl, Aldi, and Eurospin; Carrefour Express is also common for basics.
Look for high-street chains like Zara, H&M, and OVS in the city centre; the Como market (Saturdays) has affordable clothing and accessories.
A single bus ticket in Como is €1.30; a day pass (24h) costs €4.50 for unlimited urban buses. From Milan airports, the cheapest way is a FlixBus or bus shuttle to Como bus station (around €10-€15 one way).
Eat at places away from the lakefront for lower prices; buy a day pass for bus travel if you plan multiple trips; get groceries at Lidl or Aldi for snacks and picnic supplies.

🧭 First things nearby: pharmacy · Farmacia Comunale di Centro Valle Intelvi — 514 m · ~6 min walk
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Umher zu kommen
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-Attraktionen 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.
