Casa L’Aquila is a guest house in Como, Lombardy, located on Via Borgo Vico a short distance from the historic walls and the lake.
The property is designed for those exploring the city on foot: it is about 1.3 km from Como San Giovanni Station, 900 meters from the Voltian Temple and just 300 meters from the Villa Olmo Museum. The historic center, with the Cathedral, the Basilica of San Fedele and the Broletto, can be reached in a few minutes’ walk, and the shores of Lake Como are also easy to visit.
The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a desk, a wardrobe, a coffee machine, a flat-screen TV and a safe; some offer their own terrace or mountain views. The environment is entirely non-smoking and WiFi is free throughout the property.

Casa L’Aquila offers two room types, both air-conditioned and designed for couples staying in the city center. The Double Room with Shared Bathroom measures 22 sqm and comes with a terrace with mountain views, a flat-screen TV with streaming services and a coffee machine; in this case, the bathroom is shared. The Twin Room, larger at 25 sqm, instead has an external private bathroom with a walk-in shower, bidet, hairdryer and free toiletries, plus a tea and coffee kettle, safe and wardrobe.
Both options share essential amenities such as air conditioning, a desk and a flat-screen TV, differing mainly in the type of bathroom and the view: the first focuses on the panoramic terrace, the second on the greater independence given by the private bathroom, even if located outside the room. The choice between the two therefore depends on preferences regarding privacy and in-room facilities.
