La propriété — B&B Leon d'Oro
Leon d’Oro is a straightforward, reliable three-star hotel a ten-minute walk from Como’s lakefront and cathedral. The lobby is compact and functional, with tiled floors, a small reception desk and a breakfast room that does the job without fuss. It suits independent travellers who want clean, quiet rooms and a decent buffet breakfast, and who plan to spend most of their time out exploring the lake and town rather than lounging in the hotel.
Chroniques de Como
Como was founded as a Roman garrison town, Comum, in the 1st century BC, and later became a key centre for the Lombard dukes. Its medieval walls and the cathedral (Duomo di Como), begun in 1396 and finished in the 18th century, dominate the old centre. During the 19th century, the city flourished as a silk-manufacturing hub, and the lake became a fashionable retreat for aristocrats and artists. Today, Como balances industrial heritage with tourism: the silk trade is still active, but most visitors come for the lake, the funicular to Brunate, and the elegant piazzas.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Como →Meilleurs mois
May, June and September offer warm, sunny days (22–28°C) with lower humidity and fewer crowds than July and August.
Peak / Festival surge
July and August are peak season, driven by European summer holidays and warm lake swimming. Hotel prices double or triple, and Como’s narrow streets fill with day-trippers. The Palio del Baradello (late August) adds to the crush.
La saison des épaules
April and October are the quietest budget months. April can be cool and rainy, October has mild days but shorter daylight; both give you discounted rooms and near-empty sights.
Météo & Emballage
July in Como is hot and humid, with afternoon thunderstorms common. Pack light cotton clothing, a rain jacket or compact umbrella, and sturdy walking shoes for the steep streets and the funicular walk.
Briefing de la ville — Como
- Como’s lakeshore promenade (Viale Geno) is undergoing a major renovation through autumn 2026, with sections closed for pedestrian upgrades – expect some detours along the water.
- The new ‘Como Outdoor’ initiative has increased timed-entry permits for the funicular to Brunate in July 2026; book at least 72 hours ahead to avoid queues.
- Lake Como’s ferry service has added a direct summer route from Como to Bellagio every 30 minutes in peak months, reducing typical wait times.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to B&B Leon d'Oro, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 1st or 2nd floor, as these floors are likely to have the most natural light and are closer to the hotel's main entrance. This B&B is in a quiet location, but rooms on higher floors might be affected by occasional ferry noise from the nearby lake.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the service entrance, which is located at the back of the building. This may reduce the likelihood of street noise, but it's still a B&B with a service entrance, so there might be some disturbance.
Best views
Rooms on the 3rd floor may have a view of the surrounding hills or the lake, but this is not guaranteed due to the building's orientation and surrounding buildings.
Quietest floors
1st to 2nd floor
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise is minimal, but occasional ferry traffic might be audible on higher floors. The location is generally quiet, but consider the service entrance noise if you're a light sleeper.

- 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 →S’entourer
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 attractions à 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.
