Boutique & Luxury Hotels in Como Seaside Hotels with Private Beaches in Italy

Home to the rich and famous, including handsome George Clooney, this enchanting city sits right on the sparkling Lake Como and is filled with natural and man-made wonders not to be missed. Start off in Piazza Duomo with its stunning cathedral made by the Comacini masters. See the quaint and former city hall, called the ‘broletto’ then off to Piazza Verdi with various ancient buildings like the medieval walls, the neo-classical theatre, the basilica of San Fedele and Porta Torre. Shop and relax on Corso Vittorio Emanuele while walking towards Palazzo Giovio which hosts an all-encompassing archeological museum. Take an excursion outside the city walls to admire the 17th century villas, like Villa Olmo, with their sumptous gardens and parks. See the spot where the old square fountain used to stand – William Rockefeller took it with him in 1902 and is now the Bronx Zoo. Take the Como – Brunate funicular up to the mountains and see Switzerland from the curious lighthouse built in honor of Alessandro Volta. Take an hydroplane ride on and over the lake or take a boat to Bellagio, the most quaint town you’ll ever see right in the middle of the lake!
