Hotel Quarcino is a 3-star property located in Como, just a 3-minute walk from the shores of Lake Como and from Como Nord Lago station.

The Swiss border at Chiasso is also only 17 minutes away by car, making the hotel convenient both for those visiting the city and for those heading towards Canton Ticino.
The rooms, all air-conditioned, feature tiled floors, a flat-screen TV, a desk and a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer; some room types offer a balcony or lake view.

The rooms at Hotel Quarcino come in different sizes and bed configurations, from the most compact single to the family room designed for groups of four. All room types include a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer and toiletries, tiled floors, air conditioning, minibar, safe and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels: features designed to guarantee a practical stay regardless of the room chosen.
Those looking for something extra can opt for the Superior with lake view or the Suite, which offers a small separate sitting area and a private balcony. The Family Room, the largest in the range at 31 m², is the only one designed to accommodate up to four people with a combination of single and double beds.
