Le Dame Della Cortesella B&B

Le Dame Della Cortesella B&B is a bed & breakfast in the historic center of Como, just 200 meters from the old town and 400 meters from Como Borghi station.

The property occupies a period building without an elevator, reached by climbing three flights of stairs, and offers two room types with period furnishings, air conditioning and private bathroom with hairdryer. Some rooms feature a balcony or city view, while the common area is equipped with a coffee machine, kettle and toaster for a breakfast that is informal yet well cared for, always Italian and served buffet-style.

It is an address designed above all for those traveling as a couple or in small groups who want to move around on foot among the streets of the center: pubs, restaurants and evening venues are just steps away, as are the city’s main historic monuments. The Ferry Terminal on the lake is 1.2 km away, while the nearest airport, Milan Malpensa, is about 50 km away. WiFi is free in all areas and pets are welcomed at no extra charge.

Room types

Le Dame Della Cortesella B&B offers two room types, both housed in a period building in the historic center and characterized by traditional furnishings, air conditioning and private bathroom with hairdryer. The first is a 14 sqm double room with a large bed and a balcony overlooking the inner courtyard, designed for couples wanting a more intimate and cozy corner. The second is a 22 sqm triple room, larger and suitable for small groups or families, with a single bed paired with a large double bed and views over the city and a local point of interest.

Both options share underfloor heating and the attention to furnishing detail that characterizes the whole property, differing mainly in size, capacity and view. As there is no elevator, reaching the rooms requires climbing a few flights of stairs.
