Il Sogno

Il Sogno is a bed and breakfast in Como, just steps from Baradello Castle and its medieval tower, in a green area on the edge of the lakeside city.

The property offers four room types, all equipped with balcony, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, minibar and private bathroom with shower. Room sizes range from 16 to 25 m², with options suited to both couples and families of up to four thanks to the room with an extra bunk bed. One of the rooms stands out for its private whirlpool bathtub.

In the morning a full breakfast is served, with continental, Italian, English/Irish, vegetarian, vegan, halal and gluten-free options, catering to a range of dietary needs. The garden with terrace offers views over the city and surrounding hills, ideal for a relaxing moment outside the rooms.

The location, right below the walls of Baradello, is particularly appreciated by couples, who count it among the highlights of their stay, while Como’s historic centre and the lake remain conveniently reachable just a few kilometres away.

Location & what to see

Il Sogno is located on the lower slopes behind Como, just steps from Baradello Castle and its 13th-century medieval tower, in a green and quiet setting a few minutes from the city centre and the lake. The area is part of Parco delle Rimembranze, a panoramic spot loved by locals for a walk with views over the city and the first Alps.

Como’s historic centre, with the Broletto and Piazza Cavour, is about 1.7-1.8 km away, while Como Borghi station is less than a kilometre away and Como San Giovanni station is 2.8 km away, convenient for those arriving by train from Milan. The nearest airports are Milan Malpensa, about 31 km away, and Lugano Agno, 26 km away, both connected to the Lombard city.

Guests staying here can dedicate a morning to visiting the Volta Temple and the Silk Museum, dedicated to Como’s historic silk industry, or climb up to Baradello Tower for an overview of the city and lake. Small restaurants such as Cascina Respaù and Ecofficine are also nearby, useful for an informal lunch, while on summer weekends the lakeside promenade and boat trips to Bellagio and Varenna remain among the most requested activities by guests.
