Olmo Apartment

We booked the room on a whim and arrived at 1 a.m., which wasn't a problem. Marcello was so friendly and made us feel comfortable and welcome. The room and private bathroom were very clean, and it's a beautiful area close to Villa Olmo. Thanks for the hospitality and recommendations, Marcello! :)

My mother and I stayed here in mid-September 2022. Google Maps had the B&B in the wrong spot, which confused me when I was trying to find it. I've corrected it since. This was our first time in this kind of B&B, and it took some getting used to because it's quite different from a hotel. Marcello was friendly and helpful. There are three rooms, but the layout is a bit odd: a shared area runs through them, and you have to cross it to get to the bathroom. The room was clean, though very warm. The ceiling fan barely moved the air. There were lots of cupboards and drawers, but most were locked, which seemed strange. It's somewhat out of town, so driving there is less stressful, but it's around a half-hour walk to the old town. A bus stops right outside, and tickets are sold at the café/shop next door. Breakfast is coffee and a pastry from that café. There is free street parking on the private road outside, but I worried about being towed with our German plates, so I paid 10 euros a night to park behind a boom gate, where I felt safer.

The staff were really friendly, and the included breakfast was so delicious. It's clean and quiet, and a really nice place for a couple of days.

I came to Como for work and had a great experience. The bed was really comfortable, and it's only a 20-minute walk to the center. The location is perfect, breakfast is included and delicious, and I'd definitely come back and recommend it!
