Luxury Hotels On Lake Como

Torno And Blevio For An Eastern-Shore Stay

Il Sereno is in Torno, while Mandarin Oriental is in Blevio. These addresses put the accommodation outside Como's urban center, with the lake itself helping to shape the visit. Choose this side when time beside the water should be a substantial part of the stay, and arrange city appointments as deliberate outings.

Cernobbio And Cadenabbia Are Separate Western Choices

Villa d'Este's Cernobbio address belongs to a different part of the lake from The Lake Como EDITION in Cadenabbia, a hamlet of Griante. Cadenabbia faces the Bellagio peninsula in the central-lake area. A Cernobbio stay and a central-lake stay should therefore be assessed against different day plans, even though both hotels have a Via Regina address.

Choose Cernobbio when that town belongs in your daily routine. Consider Cadenabbia when the central lake should have a larger share of the visit. Neither choice requires moving hotels for every outing, but each deserves a realistic sequence of visits rather than an itinerary assembled solely from photographs of the lake.

Walk The Western Villages Above The Shore

The Lake Como Greenway links Colonno, Sala Comacina, Ossuccio, Lenno, Mezzegra, Tremezzo and Griante. This gives the western shore a village-to-village outing alongside its major villa visits. Around Sala Comacina, the route follows the old Strada Regina above the waterfront, through terraced plots and small olive groves, with views toward Comacina island and the mountains across the lake.

Choose a lakeside village visit if your interest is its harbor and houses; choose the higher Greenway sections for the relationship between the settlements and their cultivated slopes. Near San Rocco, steps descend toward Sala Comacina's medieval center and small harbor. At Ossuccio, the bell tower of Santa Maria Maddalena provides another distinctive landmark. This is a mix of hillside lanes, village streets and changes of level, rather than a continuous flat promenade beside the water.

For a stay combined with other Italian regions, the Italy hotel guide covers the wider journey.
