Hotel Locanda Milano 1873, Brunate, Como

This family-run hotel in Brunate is close to the funicular station, which runs down from the town to Lake Como, 5km away. Entirely renovated, this charming three-star hotel is renowned for its kitchen - providing the best in local, Lombardy cuisine: Lombardy, of course, has some of Italy's finest food. The choice of comfortable single, double and triple rooms have TV and bathroom, with breakfast provided.

The little town of Brunate, in Lombardy's Como province, is famous for its beautiful surroundings - on a clear day the Alps are clearly visible. A settlement of fewer than 2,000 souls, its numbers swell during the summer months, when visitors come to rent apartments and houses - attracted by its relaxed charm and proximity to the lakes (and easy access via the funicular of course).

The Hotel Locanda Milano 1873 has a lounge and bar as well as the restaurant, and there is parking for guests' cars. Nearby towns include Como (which has a fine duomo and good museums and churches). You will probably fly into Milan, which is 50km to the south west, and a day trip into the city is a must. Sights there include the Pinacoteca di Brera (one of the world's finest art galleries), and the magnificent cathedral. Other nearby towns include Cernobbio, Moltrasio, Albavilla, Laglio, Mendrisio and Lezzeno. But much of your time will be spent in and around the lake or enjoying some of northern Italy's most magnificent scenery.
