Location & what to see

Barbara House is located in an inner courtyard off Via Giuseppe Brambilla, in the heart of Como’s historic centre, a few steps from the main shopping streets and just a short walk from the lakefront. The area is among the busiest in the city, with a location score of 9.5 according to guests, and allows almost all the attractions to be reached on foot.
