The property, entirely non-smoking, offers four types of air-conditioned rooms, all with a private bathroom equipped with a bidet and toiletries, flat-screen TV and desk: from the Double/Twin Room with Lake View to the larger Family Room, up to the King Room and the Deluxe Double Room, the latter two overlooking the lake and, in one case, featuring a private terrace.

The central location makes it possible to reach the Volta Temple, the Basilica of San Fedele and the Volta Temple Gardens within a few minutes’ walk, while Lake Como is just steps away.

Como Lake Chic Retreat is located in the central district of Como, a few steps from Spina Verde Park and a few hundred metres from the Volta Temple Gardens. The area, lively with cafés and restaurants such as Al Camino and Di Puglia un Pò, both within 250 metres, retains the authentic character of a Lombard provincial town that grew up around its lake.
Como San Giovanni station can be reached in about 10 minutes on foot (800 metres), while the bus station is 1.4 km away. Como’s Duomo and the Basilica of San Fedele are 1.5 km and 1.8 km away respectively, easy to visit on foot or by bicycle. For those arriving by air, Milan Malpensa Airport is the closest, about 30 km away, followed by Linate at 41 km.
Proximity to Lake Como is probably the area’s main strength: in the warmer months it is easy to organise walks along the shore or excursions to Baradello Castle, 2.5 km away, and the Basilica of Sant’Abbondio. Culture lovers can visit the Volta Temple, dedicated to Alessandro Volta, or the Villa Olmo Museum, while in winter the city is well suited to quieter walks in the historic centre and museum visits, such as the Broletto in Piazza Cavour, 1.2 km from the property.
