Destination Guide
Insider notes from our concierge team: what to see, where to eat and how to spend your days around Lake Como and beyond.
Written by the people who live here
Every guide is handwritten by our team, from hidden corners and day trips to the restaurants we book for our own guests. Read before you arrive, or message our concierge and we’ll plan it with you.
Lake Como, at a glance
The four things we tell every guest before they arrive.
Milan Malpensa and Linate are about an hour by car, and trains from Milan reach Como in under an hour. We can arrange a private transfer.
Public ferries link Como, Bellagio, Varenna and Menaggio. For the most memorable views, ask us about a private boat.
May, June and September bring warm days and fewer crowds. Winter is quiet, festive and wonderfully atmospheric.
In summer, reserve lakefront restaurants and popular villa gardens a few days ahead. Our concierge can do it for you.
