Gaby Lake Suites is a guest house in Como’s historic centre, just 50 metres from Como Lago station and 300 metres from the city’s Cathedral.
The property occupies a single floor with an independent entrance and offers three types of double rooms, each air-conditioned, with private bathroom, balcony and flat-screen TV: options designed above all for couples visiting the lake, who in reviews rate the location with a score of 9.7. Some rooms offer lake views, others views of the mountains surrounding the Lario basin, and every room has a safe and refrigerator for the stay.
The area around the property is the liveliest part of the centre, among alleys, cafés and restaurants just steps away, with the Broletto and the main historic monuments reachable on foot in a few minutes. Staff can arrange a shuttle service on request, useful for those arriving with heavy luggage or wanting to reach the city’s train stations quickly.
The three rooms at Gaby Lake Suites share the same basic setup: air conditioning, private bathroom with walk-in shower, balcony, flat-screen TV, safe and refrigerator, plus an independent entrance that guarantees more privacy than a traditional bed and breakfast. Room sizes range from 24 to 31 square metres, a detail that affects the sense of space felt by guests staying in the larger room compared to the other two.
What really makes the difference are the views: the King Room with Lake View and the Double Room with Lake View look out over the Lario basin, while the Double Room with Terrace opens onto the mountains surrounding Como. All are furnished with large double beds, extra-large in the more spacious room and large in the other two, and feature carefully finished interiors designed for a peaceful stay in the heart of the city.
The largest of the three rooms, at 31 square metres, with a balcony offering views of Lake Como. The private bathroom has a walk-in shower and the extra-large double bed is the biggest in the property.
A 27-square-metre room with a panoramic balcony overlooking the lake, slightly smaller than the King Room but with the same water view. Independent entrance and soundproofing for a quiet stay in the city centre.
The coziest of the three, at 24 square metres, the only one with mountain views surrounding Como instead of the lake. The private terrace sets it apart from the other two rooms, both of which have a simple balcony.
Gaby Lake Suites offers free WiFi throughout the property, a highly appreciated feature judging by the top score achieved in this category. Staff can arrange a shuttle service on request and guarantee daily housekeeping, along with private check-in and check-out for those seeking more privacy.
General services include luggage storage, lift, magnetic key access and 24-hour security. The property is entirely non-smoking and has soundproofed rooms, air conditioning and heating throughout, plus an independent entrance that makes coming and going more flexible.
Each room is also equipped with a safe, iron and kettle or coffee machine, while guests with last-minute needs can rely on an on-site convenience store. There is no structured dining service, but the central location more than compensates for this.
Gaby Lake Suites is located in the heart of Como’s historic centre, in a pedestrian area dense with alleys, cafés and restaurants, just 50 metres from Como Lago station. The property occupies the fourth floor of a building on Via Ugo Foscolo, a short walk from the Church of Sant’Agostino and the centre’s evening nightlife.
Como Cathedral and the Broletto can be reached on foot in about five minutes, 300 metres away, while Piazza Cavour, the city’s main square with lake views, is the same distance. The Volta Temple, dedicated to Alessandro Volta, is 650 metres away, and Como San Giovanni train station offers fast connections to Milan. Milan Malpensa Airport is about 32 km away, a convenient option for those arriving from abroad.
Como is the ideal base for exploring the lake of the same name: boats to Bellagio and other towns on the western shore depart from the centre, while history lovers can climb up to Baradello Castle, 2 km from the property, for a sweeping view over the city and the lake. In summer, lakeside walks and boat trips are the most popular activities, while in winter the historic centre, with its churches and palaces, can be explored at a leisurely pace away from the summer crowds. The Silk Museum, dedicated to Como’s historic silk tradition, is another interesting stop about 1.6 km away.
Guests particularly praise the central location and room comfort, with very high scores for cleanliness and free WiFi. Staff also receive very positive ratings, while value for money, though high, is the relatively least appreciated aspect among the various parameters.
