La propiedad — Le Rose
Le Rose is a modest, family-run three-star tucked into a quiet residential street a 10-minute walk from Como’s lakefront. The lobby has a faded-elegance feel: terrazzo floors, a small reception desk with fresh flowers, and a palpable sense of calm. It suits independent travellers and couples who want a clean, no-fuss base near the centre without paying for lake views or a pool.
Crónicas de Como
Como began as a Roman garrison town, Comum, in the 1st century BC, controlling trade routes through the Alps. Its medieval centre grew around the Duomo, begun in 1396 and finished in the 18th century, mixing Gothic and Renaissance styles. The city’s architectural identity is dominated by austere Lombard Romanesque churches and elegant 19th-century neoclassical villas built by silk-merchant families. Today Como is a prosperous, compact provincial capital famous for its lake, its silk industry (still active), and as a quieter alternative to Bellagio or Menaggio. The city’s cultural identity remains proudly local, centred on food, sailing, and promenading along the lakefront.
El mejor momento para visitar
Guía completa de Como →Los mejores meses
May, June, September – warm but not oppressive, fewer crowds than July/August, and the lake is swimmable by late May.
Peak / Festival Surge
August – Italian Ferragosto (15 August) fills the lake with day-trippers and holidaymakers; hotel rates in Como double or triple, and Le Rose often sells out weeks ahead.
La temporada del hombro
April and October – rooms at Le Rose can be 30-40% cheaper, weather is mild (15-20°C), and the lakefront is peaceful.
Tiempo y embalaje
Summer afternoons in Como can turn thunderous quickly with sudden, heavy downpours – always pack a small umbrella and a light waterproof jacket. Pack layers: a sweater for cool lake breezes in the evening, and comfortable walking shoes for the steep cobbled alleys.
Briefing en vivo de la ciudad — Como
- As of 2026, Como’s city council has introduced a tourist tax of €2-3 per person per night at hotels in the historic centre; check if Le Rose includes it in the rate.
- The renovated Villa Olmo, a 19th-century neoclassical lakeside villa, now hosts temporary art exhibitions year-round – check schedule for July 2026.
- The main lakeside promenade, Lungo Lario Trento, has undergone pedestrianisation, reducing car traffic; expect more space for walkers but occasional event closures in summer.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Le Rose, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request an upper-floor room facing the internal courtyard (if available) — these are quieter because the address is on Como's main lakefront road, which can have traffic noise. Second floor or higher also reduces street-level sound.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the first floor or facing the street directly — Como's lakeside road carries bus and scooter traffic, especially in summer. Avoid any room above the lobby if the ground-floor bar is open late.
Best views
Rooms facing the lake (south side) get the Como waterfront view — but they'll also get street noise. If you value quiet over view, ask for a courtyard-side room with a partial lake glimpse from the bathroom window.
Quietest floors
Third and fourth floors (if the lift serves them) are best — high enough to avoid street chatter, low enough to escape roof machinery noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Como's lakeside road (Lungo Lario) is busy from early morning until late evening. Bar and restaurant patrons on the street can be audible. No internal nightclub or disco reported, but the lift and corridor noise may carry in a 3-star building.
Insider tips
1. Check in early to negotiate a courtyard room — the desk staff often have discretion over allocation. 2. If you drive, ask about free parking permits or nearby garages (Como's city centre has restricted access zones — avoid parking fines).
- 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 →En torno a
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.

Principales atracciones en 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.
