Posta Design Hotel is located on Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, in the heart of Como’s historic centre, in a stretch of the city made up of period buildings, shops and venues that bring the streets to life just steps from the lake. The oldest part of the area is pedestrian, making it easy to get around without a car, with the lakefront reachable in about 3 minutes on foot.
Como San Giovanni station is about 500 metres away, while Como Lago station is just over 450 metres away, convenient for those arriving from Milan or travelling along the lake branch. Piazza Cavour, a city landmark, is 200 metres away, and Como Cathedral can be reached in around 10 minutes on foot. Those arriving by air can rely on Lugano Agno Airport (24 km) and Milan Malpensa Airport (31 km).
The historic centre offers plenty of reasons for a stroll: the Roman Theatre and Piazza Cavour are just steps away, while the Volta Temple, dedicated to Alessandro Volta, sits about 450 metres along the lakefront. For those with more time, Baradello Castle overlooks the city from a hill 1.8 km away, a popular destination for excursions with lake views, and the Silk Museum tells the story of Como’s silk industry 1.5 km away. In summer the lake is ideal for boat trips and lakefront walks, while in winter the centre remains lively thanks to markets and venues that stay open.
Guests particularly praise the central location (9.6) and room comfort, with high scores also for staff and cleanliness. Value for money remains the lowest-rated aspect, though still solid, while the property has a number of returning regular guests over time.
