La propiedad — SANTANGLA
SANTANGLA is a straightforward three-star on Viale Fratelli Rosselli, a ten-minute walk east of Como’s lakefront. The lobby is compact, tiled and functional — more business-like than charming, with a 24-hour desk and a small breakfast room off the side. Handy for travellers who need a clean base near the station (500m away) and don’t plan to lounge in the hotel. The USP is location and price: you get a reliable room and breakfast, not character.
Crónicas de Como
Como began as a Roman settlement (Novum Comum) in 196 BC, expanded under Julius Caesar, and later became a key silk-producing centre from the 15th century. Its cathedral, started in 1396, blends Gothic and Renaissance styles on the site of an earlier basilica. The 19th-century lakeside promenade and Liberty-style villas reflect Como’s role as a genteel resort for northern Italian and British aristocrats. Today, the city balances a working silk-industry past with year-round tourism, its old core still buzzing with bars, gelaterias and ferry crowds.
El mejor momento para visitar
Guía completa de Como →Los mejores meses
May–June for warm days (22-26°C), long light and spring flowers, before peak heat and crowds. September is also excellent: settled weather, lake still swimmable, fewer families.
Peak / Festival Surge
July–August is peak season: schools out, ferries packed, hotels near the lake at 200% of shoulder rates. The Palio del Baradello (historic pageant) is in late June; no major festivals drive July prices — it’s pure holiday demand. SANTANGLA’s rates will be at their annual high (€100-140/night), but cheaper than lakefront 3-stars.
La temporada del hombro
April and October: hotel prices drop 30-50% below August. April can be rainy and cool (10-18°C), October mild but quiet (12-20°C). Good for empty lakeside cafés and lower cable-car queues.
Tiempo y embalaje
Como’s July is humid and often hits 30°C by midday, with sudden thunder in the late afternoon. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket or compact umbrella — not just a sun hat — and always carry a spare T-shirt for dinner after a sweaty day.
Briefing en vivo de la ciudad — Como
- The Funicolare (Como–Brunate) is undergoing running repairs in summer 2026; check the ATC website day-of for service interruptions or single-gondola operation, which can mean longer waits.
- Como’s council has pedestrianised more of Via Vittorio Emanuele II and the square outside the cathedral — expect extended al-fresco dining and street performers but also some diversions for taxis and drop-offs.
- The popular lake swimming spots at Villa Geno and Lido di Villa Olmo now require online reservation for non-residents in July and August; book at least 24 hours ahead or you’ll be turned away.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to SANTANGLA, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (3rd or 4th) for a quieter stay, as these floors are likely to be further away from the Via Monsignor Emilio Poletti street noise. Since the hotel has a lift, avoid rooms on the ground floor or near the lift, such as rooms 101-105, as you'll hear the constant hum of the lift's machinery.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the service entrance (if available) may be noisier due to delivery and staff activity. Also, rooms near the bar area might experience noise from evening events.
Best views
Rooms on the south side (facing the lake) or west side (facing the surrounding hills) will offer the best views. Since the hotel's address is on Via Monsignor Emilio Poletti, rooms on the north or east side will have a view of the street or nearby buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 3-4
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Via Monsignor Emilio Poletti can be moderate due to the hotel's location in the city center. The service entrance and bar areas may also generate some noise during peak hours.
Insider tips
If you plan to explore Como, consider purchasing a local public transportation ticket or a Como Card, which grants access to public transport, museums, and attractions. Take advantage of the hotel's proximity to the lake by asking for a room with a lake-facing view or make time for a scenic walk along the lake's shores.
- 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.
