Tucked into the heart of Como's historic centre within easy walking distance of the lake, these spotlessly clean apartments win guests over with their warm, attentive service, well-equipped kitchens, and a quietly homely atmosphere that makes you feel, as one visitor put it, comfortably at home without the chaos of your own kitchen.
- Como, ItalyWhy it's cosy
Carlo and Giulia's small apartment near Como lake wins guests over through their attentive, personal service and the well-equipped, homely space itself, though the sofa bed comfort is a minor drawback.
- Como, ItalyWhy it's cosy
The friendly staff, honest prices, and a snug private dining room make this simple, rustically furnished locanda in the old village of Arzo a reliable spot for those seeking local pizza, seasonal cooking, and an unpretentious bolthole, though travellers expecting private bathrooms or modern amenities should note the rooms are basic and shared facilities are the norm.

Tucked into the pedestrianised heart of Como, just a short stroll from the lake, this small, well-kept hotel wins repeated loyalty through its exceptional breakfast, with hot dishes prepared to order and quality ingredients, attentive, knowledgeable staff such as receptionist Daniela, who books restaurant tables and dispenses local advice with quiet expertise, and modern, impeccably clean rooms that guests describe as peaceful and comfortable enough to feel like home.
- Como, ItalyWhy it's cosy
The hotel offers attentive, personal service and charming Duomo views from renovated rooms, but its modern luxury aesthetic and table-service breakfast logistics lack the intimate, lived-in warmth that would elevate it beyond a well-run boutique property.
