부동산 — Hotel Quarcino
Hotel Quarcino sits a five-minute walk from Como’s lakefront, a tidy three-star with a pale façade and narrow lobby that smells of floor polish and fresh coffee. It’s the sort of place that trades on location over frills: functional bedrooms with decent air-conditioning, a small breakfast buffet, and a bar that closes before midnight. Best for independent travellers who want a base near the ferry terminal and are happy to spend their money on lunch rather than hotel extras.
Como 연대기
Como began as a Roman garrison town (Novum Comum) in 196 BC, laid out on a grid that still shows in the old centre. Its medieval heyday left the Broletto palace and the marble Duomo, but the real boom came with 19th-century silk mills that turned the lake into an industrial corridor. Modern Como trades on that silk heritage and its position as the jumping-off point for Lake Como’s villas and mountains—fast trains from Milan keep it buzzing with day-trippers, though the alleyways off Piazza Cavour stay resolutely local.
방문하기 가장 좋은 시간
Como 완전 가이드 →최고의 달
May and September: lake-warm weather (20–25°C), full ferry schedules, but fewer crowds than summer. June also works if you don’t mind paying higher rates.
Peak / Festival Surge 근처 오락거리
July and August are absolute peak, driven by European holidays, lake tours and the Palio del Baradello (early Aug, medieval pageant). Hotel prices double, and Quarcino’s best-value rooms sell out weeks ahead. Queues for the funicular to Brunate can stretch 40 minutes by 10am.
Budget Shoulder 시즌
April and October: rates drop 30–40%, temperatures sit around 12–18°C, and the lake is quieter. October can bring rain and some ferry cuts, but the views are clearer and restaurants do not rush you.
날씨 & 포장
Como’s lake effect can flip from bright sun to grey drizzle in an hour, even in July. Pack a light waterproof jacket that fits in a daypack, not a heavy coat, and always carry sunglasses regardless of the forecast.
City Briefing 근처 오락거리 — Como
- Como’s main train station (Como S. Giovanni) has finished its platform upgrades; direct Milan–Zurich services now stop here again, cutting transfer time from Malpensa by 15 minutes.
- The lakeside promenade (Lungo Lario Trento) is partly fenced for sewer works through July 2026—the footpath is diverted around the Teatro Sociale, but the ferry terminal access is unaffected.
- New electric boat hire launched at the Molo di Sopra quay in June 2026; you can rent a silent skippered boat for two hours without a licence, useful for avoiding the packed public steamers.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Quarcino, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor (front-facing, overlooking the lake). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise and benefit from the property's higher vantage point on Salita Quarcino.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor (ground level) – the hotel sits on a slope, so these rooms face the street directly and get traffic noise. Also skip any rooms at the back facing the inner courtyard: they overlook the service area and may hear lift machinery or staff passage.
Best views
Front-facing rooms (northwest side) have a clear view over the lake and the town's rooftops, thanks to the hotel's elevated position on Salita Quarcino. Back-facing rooms overlook the hill and neighbouring buildings only.
Quietest floors
Third and fourth floors are quietest – further from the street and above the breakfast room and lobby.
🔊 Noise notes
Salita Quarcino is a narrow, cobbled street – buses and scooters echo here, especially in mornings and late evening. The hotel entrance has a heavy door that slams. Breakfast from 7:00–10:00 generates clatter on the first floor.
Insider tips
1. If arriving by car, ask the hotel to reserve you a space in their small garage (limited to 6 cars; cheaper than public parking on Lungo Lario Trento). 2. For a lake view without the premium price, request a front-facing room on the third floor (same view as fourth, one floor less for lift noise).
- 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

돈 & 통화
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.
식사, 쇼핑 & 여행에 대한 예산
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 →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.
