財産 — Casa Olea
Casa Olea is a no-frills three-star perched above Como's lakeside promenade, all clean lines, tiled floors and a small rooftop terrace with decent views over the water. The lobby smells faintly of lemon polish, and the welcome is brisk but friendly — more functional than cosy. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a central base without paying for frills, and who plan to spend most of their time out exploring the lake and town.
Comoの歴史
Como has been a lakeside settlement since Roman times, when it was called Novum Comum and laid out in a grid that still shapes the old town. In the Middle Ages it grew rich on silk and wool, and its Gothic cathedral — started in 1396 — took nearly four centuries to finish, blending Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance styles. The city's 18th-century prosperity as a silk hub built the elegant neoclassical villas that line the lakefront today. Modern Como is a relaxed, walkable town that leans heavily on its lake-and-mountain scenery and its status as a launchpad for day-trippers to Bellagio, Varenna and the rest of the western shore.
訪れるのに最適な時間
Como完全ガイド →最高の月
May and September offer warm, settled weather (20-25°C) with far smaller crowds than July and August. June works too, though prices start climbing. Lake swimming is comfortable, and the hills are green without being scorched.
ピーク/フェスティバル Surge
July and August are the peak. The lakefront is shoulder-to-shoulder, ferry queues stretch 30 minutes, and hotel prices spike by 40-60%. The main driver is European and US summer holidays; no single festival dominates Como itself, though the nearby Lake Como Festival (classical music, July) and local sagre (food fairs) draw extra visitors. Casa Olea's rates will be at their highest, typically £80-110 per night in 2026.
予算肩の季節
October and April are the sweet spots for budget. Temps drop to 12-18°C, but skies stay clear, lake views are sharp, and hotel rates can be half of July. You'll share the promenade with locals, not tour groups.
天気&パッケージ
Como's microclimate means sudden afternoon thunderstorms even in midsummer, followed by bright sun. Pack a light rain jacket or compact umbrella, and always bring a sweater for evening lake breezes (the waterfront drops 5-8°C after sunset).
LIVE CITY BRIEFING — Como
- The Como funicular to Brunate reopened in March 2026 after a six-month maintenance closure; book tickets online to avoid queues, especially on weekends.
- Como's new pedestrian zone on Via Plinio (from the cathedral to Piazza Cavour) was extended in May 2026, making the old town less car-choked but also limiting taxi access — allow extra time for walking.
- The Volta Temple museum (Museo Tempio Voltiano) is undergoing a lightning-flood repair project through September 2026; the basement gallery is closed, but the main exhibits remain open with reduced hours.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Casa Olea, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the second or third floor facing the internal courtyard, as these floors are above street-level noise and the courtyard side is quieter than the front. Upper floors also get better natural light.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms, especially those facing the street, due to direct street noise from pedestrians and traffic. Rooms near the lobby/elevator on floor 1 may also hear lift machinery and reception bustle.
Best views
Rooms on higher floors (3rd floor, if exists) at the front offer glimpses of Lake Como and the surrounding hills, though the street view is of a typical Como road. Courtyard rooms have a quiet but unremarkable view.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are quietest — farthest from street-level activity and above any ground-floor public areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Como's narrow streets amplify traffic noise — mopeds, buses, and pedestrian chatter from nearby cafes. The hotel is in the town centre, so expect noise from restaurants and bars until late evening, particularly on Fridays and Saturdays.
Insider tips
1. Check in after 3pm to avoid queuing at the small reception desk. 2. If driving, use the paid 'Autosilo Como' garage a 5-min walk away; street parking is very limited and expensive.
- 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

お金 & 通貨
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Como San Giovanni station or the tourist office near the cathedral as they charge poor rates and high fees.
Visa and Mastercard accepted almost everywhere; contactless and Apple Pay/Google Pay common for under €50. Amex is rarely accepted outside hotels.
Not expected but appreciated. Round up the bill in restaurants (e.g., from €28 to €30). Taxis: rounding up to nearest €1-2. Hotels: €1-2 per bag for porters, no tip needed for housekeeping.
食事、ショッピング、旅行 予算
Cheap car hire →Standing at a bar counter: an espresso or cappuccino costs about €1.10-€1.30. Sitting down doubles it.
A panino or pizza al taglio (by the slice) with a drink from a bakery or takeaway spot: €6-€9.
A pizza or pasta main in a casual trattoria or osteria away from the lakefront: €10-€14.
Via Vittorio Emanuele and the area around Piazza Cavour have several bakeries and kebab shops; lunchtime takeaway slices are common.
Conad, Carrefour Express, and MD Discount are the main budget supermarkets here.
The pedestrianised Via Vitani and Via Plinio have mid-range chain stores like OVS and H&M; there is no dedicated market for clothes.
Walk or rent a bike. The cheapest way from Milan airports is the airport bus to Como town (around €6-€10 one way).
Eat standing at bar counters rather than sitting at tables; buy water and snacks at supermarkets rather than at lakeside kiosks; skip the tourist-train ride on the funicular and walk up to Brunate for the same view.

Where to Eat
💡 Booking tip: For popular restaurants in Como, book at least a week ahead — especially for weekend evenings and during festival season.
Your arrival at Casa Olea
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →回り回る
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.

Comoのトップ観光スポット
💡 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.
