A propriedade — Residence Il Poggio
Residence Il Poggio is a modest three-star set on a hillside above Como, offering clean, self-catering apartments rather than hotel frills. The lobby feels like a practical check-in desk in a small residential block; the draw is the large private garden and lake view from the upstairs rooms. It suits independent travellers who want a quiet base with kitchen facilities and free parking, not concierge service or restaurant buzz.
Crónicas de Como
Como was founded as a Roman settlement, Comum, and retains its grid-like historic centre. Its medieval and Renaissance heyday left the striking Gothic-Renaissance Duomo and the Broletto town hall. In the 19th century, Como became a centre for silk manufacturing, an industry still active today. Now it balances its industrial past with tourism, drawing visitors to its lakeside promenade and the funicular to Brunate. The city remains a working Lombard town, not just a postcard.
Melhor época para visitar
Guia completo de Como →Melhores meses
May and September offer warm days (22-26°C) with lower rainfall, plus thinner crowds around the lake and ferries.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and especially August are peak; schools across Europe close and the lake swells with families and day-trippers from Milan. Hotel prices often double; the Festa di San Giovanni (24 June) just precedes the rush, but August Ferragosto (15th) brings local closures and packed lakefronts.
Orçamento da temporada
April and October are the best shoulder months: rooms drop 30-40%, temperatures sit at 15-20°C, and the spring flowers or autumn colour make up for occasional rain.
Tempo e embalagem
July in Como is humid and often hits 30°C by afternoon, but thunderstorms can roll in from the Alps suddenly. Pack a light rain jacket and sturdy sandals, not just flip-flops.
Livro City Briefing — Como
- The funicular to Brunate is closed for scheduled maintenance from late June 2026; check for shuttle bus alternatives.
- Lake Como's ferry timetables have been extended for summer 2026, with additional services to Bellagio and Varenna, but buy tickets online to avoid queues at Como Lago.
- The city council is trialling pedestrian-only hours on Via Plinio and Piazza Cavour on summer weekends to ease congestion.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Residence Il Poggio, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor overlooking the inner courtyard. These rooms are quieter than street-facing ones and still get good morning light.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the second floor facing Via Regina (the main road). The street can be noisy with scooter and pedestrian traffic until late evening.
Best views
Upper-floor rooms (third floor, if available) facing east have a partial view over the rooftops toward the lake. Not guaranteed, but worth requesting.
Quietest floors
First and second floors are the quietest here — they sit above ground-level noise but below any rooftop terrace activity.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on a pedestrianised stretch of Via Regina in central Como. Expect street musicians and restaurant chatter from about 11am to 11pm on summer weekends.
Insider tips
1. Park in the public garage at Piazza San Fedele (5 mins walk) — it's cheaper than the hotel's own parking. 2. Request a room with a small balcony if you like fresh air — many terraces face the internal courtyard and are surprisingly private.
- 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

Dinheiro e moeda
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs for best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Como San Giovanni station and tourist spots near the lake as they mark up the rate by 8-12%.
Most restaurants, bars, and shops accept contactless Visa/Mastercard; smaller market stalls and some cash-only bars take cash only.
Tipping is not expected; rounding up the bill by a couple of euros in restaurants is fine, and taxi drivers appreciate a euro or two for help with bags.
Comer, Comprar e Viajar em um Orçamento
Cheap car hire →Espresso at any bar, typically €1.00–€1.20 standing at the counter.
Pizza al taglio (by the slice) or a panino from a bakery, €5–€7 including a drink.
Pizza margherita at a casual pizzeria, €8–€10 for a main.
Look for takeaway pizza slices or focaccia in the alleyways off Piazza Cavour and around the corner of Via Vittorio Emanuele II.
Supermarkets like Coop, Esselunga, and Carrefour Express are common in Como centre.
Via Vittorio Emanuele II and the side streets off Piazza Roma have chain stores (OVS, H&M) and local independent shops.
A single bus ticket for Como urban lines is €1.30 from tabacchi or the train station; for Milan airports, the cheapest is the Malpensa Express train from Como San Giovanni station (about €13.50 one way) or FlixBus (around €8 if booked ahead).
Buy bus tickets from tabacchi or newsagents, not on board (surcharge). Skip the funicular if short on time; walk up to Brunate for free views. Order takeaway pizza or panini from bakeries for lunch, not sit-down lakefront restaurants.

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Vindo ao redor
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.

Principais atrações em 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.
