부동산 — Domus Plinii 1792
Domus Plinii 1792 is a quiet 3-star guesthouse set back from Como’s lakefront, run by a family who clearly care about books and conversation. The lobby feels like a cross between a private library and a neighbour’s sitting room—wooden shelves lined with novels, maps on the walls, and a genuinely helpful receptionist who knows the bus timetable by heart. It suits independent travellers who value calm, character, and a good breakfast over luxury finishes or a lake view from the bedroom.
Como 연대기
Como has Roman origins as Novum Comum, refounded by Julius Caesar around 59 BC as a strategic garrison. Its medieval centre grew around the Cathedral, begun in 1396 and finished in the 18th century, marrying Gothic and Renaissance styles under one roof. The city became a favourite retreat for 19th-century aristocrats, who built the grand villas that line the western shore. Today Como is a compact, workaday town whose historic core and ferry port buzz with day-trippers, but whose side streets still feel distinctly local.
방문하기 가장 좋은 시간
Como 완전 가이드 →최고의 달
May, June and September—warm enough for lake swimming, gardens in full bloom, but before the August tourist crush pushes hotel rates up and ferry queues out the door.
Peak / Festival Surge 근처 오락거리
August and the weekend of the 'Palio del Baradello' (mid-September). Room prices at 3-star hotels like Domus Plinii can double; book at least three months ahead. Expect pavement-to-pavement crowds along the lakefront.
Budget Shoulder 시즌
April and October. Still pleasant (10-18°C), far fewer visitors, and rates often drop 20-30%. Bring layers; rain is frequent but usually brief.
날씨 & 포장
Como’s microclimate can shift from bright sun to a sudden thunderstorm within an hour. Pack a compact waterproof jacket and comfortable waterproof shoes—umbrellas are useless in the lake wind.
City Briefing 근처 오락거리 — Como
- Como’s main ferry dock (piazza Cavour) is undergoing renovation until autumn 2026—expect some ticket queues and altered boarding points; check the Gestione Navigazione Laghi app for real-time updates.
- The new 'Como Green Line' electric bus (line C70) now runs from the station to the funicular every 10 minutes, easing congestion on the main lakeside road.
- The 2026 'Festival del Lago' (23-27 June) brings open-air concerts to the Villa Olmo gardens; book tickets in advance as the lawns fill quickly.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Domus Plinii 1792, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first or second floor facing the lake (south-west side). The lift works fine, but first or second floor gives you a good view over the rooftops toward the lake without being at ground level.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms unless you need accessible access. They sit at street level on Via alle Rive, which sees local traffic and footfall. Also avoid rooms at the back (north-east side) — they overlook a courtyard and possibly the service area, with less natural light.
Best views
Choose a lake-view room (south-west orientation). From the address Via alle Rive 28/30, Faggeto Lario, the hotel sits on the eastern shore — so rooms facing the lake get a broad view of Lake Como and the western mountains. No lake view from the back side.
Quietest floors
First and second floors are quietest. The lift stops at all three floors but is low-traffic; upper floors insulate you from street noise better than ground floor.
🔊 Noise notes
Via alle Rive is a local road, not a main through-road, so noise is moderate — occasional cars, pedestrians, and in summer, more tourist foot traffic. No bar or restaurant noise noted; the hotel is quiet after 10pm.
Insider tips
1. Park at Parcheggio Como Lago (€20/24h) and walk 10 minutes to the hotel. Pre-book if possible. 2. The free Wi-Fi is 30 Mbps — fine for browsing, but don't expect streaming or video calls to work flawlessly. Request a room closer to the router if connectivity matters.
- 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

Use ATMs in Como town centre for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Como San Giovanni station and the airport, which apply poor rates and high fees.

Panini or pizza al taglio from a bakery or takeaway: approximately €5–8.
Main course at a modest trattoria: roughly €12–18.
Via Caio Plinio Secondo (the market street) and the area around Piazza Volta have several bakeries and takeaway pizza places for cheap bites.
Conad, Carrefour Express, and MD are common budget supermarkets in the town centre and residential streets.
Corso Vittorio Emanuele and Via Rovelli have affordable chain stores; for cheap basics, try OVS or the ongoing sales at larger shops on Via Diaz.
Buy a single urban bus ticket (€1.30 from tabacchi) or a day pass (€3.50) for local buses. From Milan airports, take the Malpensa Express train to Como (€13–15) or a bus to Como San Giovanni (around €10–12 once you're in town).
1. Eat lunch at a food market (like the Mercato Comunale) instead of a sit-down restaurant. 2. Avoid eating/drinking on the lakefront (Lungo Lario Trento) – walk one street back for normal prices. 3. Buy a Como–Lugano daily train pass if you plan to cross the border for the day: €8.50 return.

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 Domus Plinii 1792
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →주위를 둘러보는
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 주요 관광지
💡 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.
