Hotel Villa Flori is the most characterful stay on Como’s lakefront, a nineteenth-century villa overlooking the water on Via Cernobbio, a short way along the shore from the old town. Its tourist board profile says the hotel and its Raimondi restaurant stay open even in January and February, with continuous opening, which matters on a lake where most hotels shut for the winter. The hotel lists a four-star class, 52 rooms, a garden and rooftop terrace, a bar and the Raimondi restaurant, which serves non-guests too. It is the right choice for couples, for travellers who want a villa atmosphere rather than a city hotel and for anyone who plans to walk along the lake to Villa Olmo.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at Via Cernobbio 12, on the lake road that runs northwest from the centre of Como. Villa Olmo is about a 14-minute walk away, and the Como-Brunate funicular is nearby, though the funicular is closed from 9 to 27 November 2026 for works. The old town, the cathedral and the ferry landings are a pleasant walk along the lakefront, and taxis are easy to find. Reviewers mention a private dock for boat pickups, but ask the hotel before relying on it.
The rooms
52 rooms in several categories, from Standard, Classic and Superior rooms to Deluxe and Junior Doubles, with Junior Suites, one of which has a lake view, and a two-bedroom Gran Lago Suite with lake views. Rooms have air conditioning, free WiFi, an in-room safe and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. A lake view is not guaranteed in every category, so choose one that says so when you book.
Who it suits
Couples, honeymooners and travellers who value atmosphere and a garden. It also suits families who want space, as pets are allowed and bicycles can be borrowed free of charge.
