Al Porticciolo di Sant’Agostino is a bed & breakfast in the historic center of Como, just a few metres from the Como Lago Nord railway station and the city’s bus station.
The property occupies a location that guests reward with a score of 9.9 for position: from here you can walk to the Church of Sant’Agostino, the Broletto and Como Cathedral, as well as the funicular to Brunate, about 300 metres away. Milan-Malpensa Airport is around 45 minutes away by car.
The rooms, all air-conditioned, come with a flat-screen TV, coffee machine and private bathroom with toiletries; one of the two room types also features a bathtub. The entire building is covered by free WiFi. The area around the B&B is among the liveliest in the old town, full of restaurants, bars and shops, and is especially popular with couples, who have rated it 9.8 for a romantic stay. The property is well suited to both short stays and more in-depth visits to the city of Como and its lake.
Al Porticciolo di Sant’Agostino offers two types of double room, both designed for a comfortable stay in the centre of Como. All rooms are air-conditioned and feature a private bathroom with toiletries, a flat-screen TV and a coffee machine, ensuring a consistent level of comfort regardless of the choice made at the time of booking.
What sets the two options apart are mainly the size and a few distinctive details: the Double Room with Private Bathroom measures 35 square metres and is the only one to offer a bathtub, while the Deluxe Double Room spans 40 square metres and includes a private entrance, minibar and a kettle for tea and coffee. Both room types accommodate up to two adults and can host children, with a large double bed as standard. The choice between the two therefore depends mainly on the desired space and a preference for a bathtub rather than extra amenities such as an independent entrance.
At 35 square metres, this room is the only one in the property to offer a bathtub, ideal for those looking to relax after a day in the city. Air-conditioned and equipped with a flat-screen TV, coffee machine and minibar, it also features a partial lake view that makes it especially popular with couples.
Larger than the standard room type at 40 square metres, the Deluxe Double Room stands out for its private entrance and its kettle for tea and coffee, in addition to the minibar. The private bathroom includes a shower, bidet and hairdryer, while the flat-screen TV offers streaming services for evenings in.

Rooms feature amenities such as a bathrobe, slippers and complimentary bathroom products, along with a coffee machine and electric kettle. The flat-screen TV with satellite channels and streaming services rounds out the offering for those wishing to spend a relaxing evening after visiting Como’s historic centre.
