Carducci is a bed & breakfast in the historic centre of Como, about 900 metres from the Basilica of Sant’Abbondio and a 15-minute walk from the Volta Temple.
The property is designed for those who want to explore the city’s monuments on foot: the Broletto and the Duomo are just 500 metres away, while Como Borghi railway station is a little over 550 metres away. The rooms, ranging from double to quadruple, are all air-conditioned and equipped with a private bathroom with shower, courtesy toiletries and hairdryer, as well as a fridge and coffee machine in every room.
In the morning guests are offered a breakfast with cappuccino, orange juice and croissants, while from 1 March the in-house bistro Vivè also offers additional paid options during the morning and at lunchtime. WiFi is free throughout the property, and those arriving by car can rely on nearby private parking. A practical option for short or extended stays, especially appreciated by couples for its central location.
The rooms at Carducci come in five different types, designed to suit different needs: from the more compact 18-square-metre double to the 24 and 28-square-metre quadruple, ideal for families or small groups. All rooms share the same basic amenities: air conditioning, flat-screen TV with cable channels, private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer, as well as an independent entrance and a set with coffee machine and fridge.
The main differences concern bed layout and capacity: some rooms combine a double bed with a sofa bed or a bunk bed to accommodate up to four people, while the Deluxe Room focuses on space and comfort for two guests with its 28 square metres. Each room type still maintains the same standard of cleanliness and functionality that characterises the property.
At 24 square metres, this quadruple room combines an extra-large double bed with a bunk bed, a practical solution for families with children. The private bathroom with shower also includes a bidet and hairdryer, while the independent entrance ensures more privacy compared to the other room types.
This is the most compact room in the property, with 18 square metres designed for two people. The extra-large double bed occupies the centre of the room, while the private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer completes an essential yet functional option for couples.
At 22 square metres, this triple room combines the extra-large double bed with a sofa bed, offering a flexible solution for three people. The private bathroom is fitted with a shower, bidet and hairdryer, while the independent entrance sets it apart from the smaller rooms in the property.
Among the most spacious in the property at 28 square metres, this quadruple room pairs a large double bed with a sofa bed, suitable for small groups or families who want more space. The private bathroom with shower and bidet completes a setup designed for longer stays.
The Deluxe Room is the largest room type designed for two people, with 28 square metres entirely available to the couple and just one large double bed. The private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer, along with the independent entrance, make it the most spacious choice for those seeking comfort without sharing the space with other beds.
