La proprietà — Hotel Rossovino
Hotel Rossovino is a charming 3-star gem in the historic centre of Como, Italy, its lobby a warm, intimate space with terracotta floors and vintage furniture. The hotel's unique selling point lies in its family-run atmosphere and commitment to using local products. It's a haven for those seeking a relaxed, authentic Italian experience, away from the crowds and chain hotels. Guests appreciate the hotel's proximity to the town's main piazza and lake views. The staff's warm welcome and insider knowledge make you feel part of the local community.
Cronache di Como
Como, perched on the shores of Lake Como, has a rich history dating back to the Roman era, with the first settlements established around 500 BC. The city's strategic location led to its strategic importance in the Roman Empire, and its architecture reflects this, with Roman ruins and medieval castles still visible today. The 16th-century Duomo di Como's terracotta-tiled dome dominates the skyline, a testament to the city's dedication to the Catholic faith. Como's Renaissance heritage is evident in the elegant villas and gardens that line the lake's shores. The city's contemporary identity is shaped by its stunning natural setting, bustling markets, and thriving arts scene.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Como →I migliori mesi
June and September are the ideal months to visit Como, with warm weather (18-22°C), manageable crowds, and a range of outdoor activities like hiking and water sports. The summer months also bring the Festa della Musica, a lively music festival that celebrates the city's musical heritage.
Peak / Festival Surge
July is peak tourist season, with prices soaring due to the peak travel season and the Festa del Mare, a water-themed festival that draws large crowds. The hotel prices increase by 20-30% during this time, making it the most expensive period to stay.
Stagione di spalla
April and May offer the best budget-friendly shoulder season, with mild temperatures (12-18°C) and fewer crowds. You can expect discounts of up to 20% on hotel prices, making it an ideal time to visit.
Meteo e imballaggio
Como's microclimate means the lake's temperature is 2-3°C warmer than the surrounding mountains, so pack light clothing for lakefront strolls but also be prepared for cooler evenings. Don't forget to bring a waterproof jacket, as sudden rain showers can occur in the afternoon.
Briefing della città — Como
- The Como-Brienno ferry service has been upgraded, offering faster and more frequent connections to nearby towns. The city's new 'Ticino Ticket' public transport card now includes free access to the local bus network, making it easier to explore the surrounding area. The annual Festa di San Giovanni, a celebration of the city's patron saint, takes place on June 24th, with processions, fireworks, and live music.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Rossovino, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (3rd or 4th) to minimize street noise from Viale Risorgimento, which can be busy due to its central location in Como. Additionally, rooms on the east side of the hotel may have partial lake views, although this is not guaranteed.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the service entrance or lift on the lower floors (1st or 2nd) may experience more noise, particularly in the mornings and afternoons when deliveries and staff activity are higher.
Best views
There are no guarantees of lake views, but rooms on the east side of the hotel may have a glimpse of the lake, especially if you request a higher floor.
Quietest floors
Floors 3-4 are likely to be the quietest, given the hotel's layout and the fact that it's a 3-star property in a relatively busy area.
🔊 Noise notes
Viale Risorgimento can be noisy, especially during rush hour, with traffic and pedestrians contributing to the noise level. However, the hotel's location is central and convenient, making the potential noise a trade-off for the benefits of staying in this area.
Insider tips
Consider requesting a room with a balcony or a larger window to make the most of any available light and views. If you're driving, be aware that parking in the surrounding streets can be limited and metered, so it's a good idea to plan ahead and find a designated parking spot or use a nearby public parking garage.
- 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

Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs inside banks for the best exchange rate; avoid exchange bureaux at the train station or tourist offices near the lake — they charge high fees and poor rates.
Cards are widely accepted in shops and restaurants, but many cafes and smaller businesses have a 5–10 EUR minimum for contactless or mobile payments; keep some cash for small purchases.
Tipping is not required — rounding up the bill or leaving small change (1-2 EUR) is fine for good service in restaurants; taxis and hotel staff do not expect tips, though 1-2 EUR for luggage help is appreciated.
Mangiare, fare shopping e viaggiare su un budget
Cheap car hire →A standing espresso or cappuccino at a neighbourhood cafe — around 1.20–1.50 EUR; sitting at a table can double that price due to service charge.
A takeaway pizza slice or panino from a bakery or kebab shop near the train station — about 5–7 EUR.
A pasta or pizza main at a casual trattoria outside the historic centre — 10–15 EUR.
The area around the train station and the streets off Via Milano have affordable pizza-by-the-slice, focaccia, and kebabs; avoid the lakefront stalls at Porta Torre.
Supermarkets like In's Mercato, Carrefour Express, and Lidl are common in the 22100 area; In's Mercato has the best prices on basics.
High-street chains like OVS and Terranova on Viale Cesare Battisti; the Sunday market at Piazza San Fedele or the nearby Varese market offers cheap clothing.
A single bus ticket within Como costs 1.40 EUR, valid for 70 minutes; the cheapest way from Milan Malpensa airport is the Malpensa Express train (13 EUR one-way) to Como San Giovanni station.
Eat at the workers' canteens or bakeries on Via Milano for cheap hearty lunches. Buy a daily bus pass (3.50 EUR) rather than single tickets if you'll make more than two trips. Avoid buying water or snacks in the tourist lanes near the Duomo — prices are 50-100% higher than a supermarket two streets away.

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Girare intorno
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.

Principali attrazioni a 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.
