“Set in an authentic and quiet Como neighbourhood, this grand B&B (with just 4 rooms) offers bags of history and charm. Once the home of an intellect and politician, there's a serious wood-panelled library and the whole property is packed to the rafters with antiques and artworks. A unique city stay.”

Ronco Dell'Abate

This small boutique hotel with only four rooms, tucked away in a tranquil residential neighbourhood of Como, oozes history and character. The wood-panelled library is lined with thousands of volumes, while the living area features duck-green William Morris wallpaper and 18th-century furniture...
