The 10 hotels
What is the best hotel on Lake Como? Grand Hotel Tremezzo, facing Bellagio across the water, and Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni in Bellagio are the classic choices. For a quieter village, stay in Varenna at Hotel Royal Victoria or Villa Cipressi; for easy trains to Milan, stay in Como town.
Every hotel below is on the map with its area and price level. Each one links to its own Booking.com page, so you can check prices for your dates.
Where to stay on Lake Como: the best areas
- Bellagio
- The most famous village, on the point where the lake splits, with ferries in every direction. Busy in summer.
- Varenna
- A small, pretty village on the eastern shore with a train station, so it is easy to reach from Milan.
- Tremezzo and Menaggio
- On the western shore, with Villa Carlotta, lake views across to Bellagio and good ferry links.
- Como town
- The biggest town, with trains to Milan in under an hour, more hotels and lower prices.
