One of the oldest establishments in Como
as the old black and white photos on the walls confirm. Originally
two hotels side by side (can you guess their names?) they were joined
together in the late 1800's to form one larger hotel. This
is why the room numberings appear slightly illogical and the corridors
form unusual shapes.
A classic Italian feel of this family
owned and run hotel pervades the building, three generations are
to be found behind the scenes busy with every aspect of looking
after you during your stay. The current manager Roberto is
also a very keen golfer - so fully understands what we all go through!
Although an historic building, the public
areas of the hotel have been refurbished in a fairly up to date
style. The terrace in front of the hotel (where breakfast
and dinner is normally served) is right on one of Como's main squares
- ideal for watching the world go by.
There is a small garage behind the hotel,
other parking is available in a nearby public car-park that has
twenty-four hour surveillance. |
