Como Hills
From
313.136 €
“Panoramic pool facing the Prealps, ten minutes from the lake yet away from the summer crowds.”
Como Hills occupies a renovated villa on the heights of Como, hillside, with clear views over the Prealps. We head up to escape the lakefront bustle while staying within reach of the water taxi. The rooms blend light parquet, velvet headboards and grey terrazzo bathrooms, generous natural light. The outdoor pool overlooks the valley, teak loungers, impeccable towel service. The fitness centre remains modest but functional, Technogym machines, no thermal spa. From 313 € per night, Booking rating 9.3/10 from 856 reviews, reflecting rare consistency in this range. We recommend for a calm stay, off-season if possible ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend Como Hills to thirty-something and forty-something couples seeking the calm of the heights rather than the animation of the lakeside palaces. It is an address for romantic weekends off-season, discreet little honeymoons, unpretentious wellness retreats without thermal claims. Families find their place thanks to the adapted rooms, but the spirit remains resolutely adult.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The Como Hills reclaims a 1970s villa fully renovated in a clean contemporary spirit. Generous volumes, full-height picture windows, natural stone terraces. Interiors by a Milanese studio: neutral tones, bespoke furniture in whitewashed oak, brushed brass pendant lights. The scale stays intimate, around thirty rooms across three levels, lift for accessibility.
At the table
Restaurants, bar, service
The hotel restaurant offers a contemporary Italian menu, local produce from Como market, terrace service from the first fine days. Continental buffet breakfast with fresh pastries, Valtellina charcuterie, Lombard cheeses. No signature chef, yet careful execution that avoids the pitfalls of generic palace bistros. Room service available until 10 pm, reduced yet efficient menu.

Location & access
Where the hotel sits in Lake Como
The hotel stands 3 km from Como centre, on the heights of Via Pasquale Paoli, a quiet residential neighbourhood. The lake and ferry pier are ten minutes by car, twenty-five by local bus. Milan-Malpensa airport is fifty minutes away, Como San Giovanni station fifteen minutes. The area is green, few shops within walking distance, car or hotel shuttle recommended. We come for tranquillity, not for nightlife.
