About us

The Barchetta Hotel is situated on the lake right in the centre of Como. The car can be forgotten about in the parking. The large windows look out onto the hustle and bustle of the city, there’s no need to even go out. Each season has something to offer, mirrored in the beautiful square outside: strolls and concerts in the summer, Christmas markets and children ice skating in the winter. Picture the lake with boats sailing dreamily away, while in the background the yellow funicular cab climbs the mountain up to Brunate. The boats leave from close by the hotel. The hotel has 84 rooms with a different view depending on the position: the back drop of Lake Como, the dome of the cathedral or the city. Rooms to be lived in, day or night. Spacious, light and tastefully decorated with large balconies. At the Hotel Barchetta we have two meeting rooms available: the Como Room, and the Cavour Room. They are perfect to host small and medium business meetings in a peaceful and reserved environment. Alternatively we have larger spaces and equipment available in the conference centre of our nearby Palace Hotel.

Villa Olmo is a neoclassical villa located in Como, facing the Lake. The construction of the villa, which began in 1797, was commissioned by marquis Innocenzo Odescalchi from Swiss architect Simone Cantoni. As it was designed to be a summer retreat for the aristocracy, it was built alongside the lake. It was acquired in 1924 by the municipality of Como and today is open to the public only during exhibitions, while the lakeside gardens are freely accessible during the daytime.
