Lake Como hotels

Hotel Continental, Como

Lake Como is one of the most beautiful spots in northern Italy and people come here from all over the world. This is a superbly romantic location, with clear waters, soaring mountains, fairytale castles afloat on the lake and picturesque villages (many of which date back to medieval times).

The three-star Hotel Continental offers a reliable, contemporary way to enjoy this beautiful part of Italy's Lombardy region - the accommodation is part of the internationally trusted Best Western chain. It occupies a central position in Como town, at the southern tip of the lake. Set near to the railway station (and within easy reach of the highway and thence to Milan Malpensa airport) the hotel is modern, warm and welcoming. This is an ideal base for business meetings or for your vacation on Como. Como is just five minutes from the Swiss border and trips into beautiful Alpine Switzerland are a delight. You can head into the city of course - Milan has superb fashion shopping, with some of the world's best designer stores, the magnificent Duomo (cathedral), world-class art galleries such as the Pinacoteca di Brera, and some marvellous architecture.

You'll start the day with a varied buffet breakfast before heading out to enjoy watersports on the lake, a relaxed boat trip, a tour of medieval villages on foot or cycle ... the choice is yours. Rooms are elegantly furnished, air conditioned and have minibar, direct phone, bathroom, alarm clock radio, TV and hairdryer.
