Family Stays in Como: Space, Location, and Lake Life
Como sits at the southern tip of Lake Como, which means families can walk from a central hotel to the ferry terminal, board a boat to Bellagio or Varenna, and be back for dinner without a car. The walled old town is largely flat near the waterfront, the Giardini a Lago public gardens provide open space for children to run, and the funicular to Brunate departs just a short stroll from the centre. For families, proximity to these departure points matters more than almost any other factor when choosing where to stay.
Accommodation in Como divides broadly into two categories useful for families: apartment-style rentals that provide a kitchen, separate sleeping areas, and the freedom to eat on your own schedule, and full-service hotels in historic palazzi that handle every detail. Both types appear in the options below, clustered in or very close to the city centre, so parents spend less time organising transfers and more time on the water.

Frequently asked questions
Which Como properties are best suited to families who need extra space?+
The Rezia Apartments by Rent All Como and the Cinque Giornate 70 Suites by Rent All Como both offer apartment or suite formats, meaning separate living areas and, in most configurations, a kitchen or kitchenette. Starting at 270 to 275 euros per night and rated 5 out of 5, they provide the flexibility families often need: the ability to prepare a quick breakfast, store snacks, or put young children to bed while adults stay up in a separate room. Le Dimore Lake Como City Center, rated 4.9 out of 5 at 292 euros per night, also sits in Como and offers suite-style accommodation in a central location.
Are there upscale options in Como for families travelling with older children or for a special occasion?+
Yes. Palazzo Venezia in the historic centre is a 5-star property priced at around 1,310 euros per night with a 4.9 out of 5 rating, offering the kind of grand palazzo setting that makes a trip memorable. Palazzo San Gottardo Lake Como, a Radisson Collection, is another 5-star option in the city centre at approximately 1,005 euros per night with the same 4.9 rating, combining heritage architecture with the services of an internationally recognised hotel group. Palazzo Albricci Peregrini, also in the city centre at 591 euros per night, rounds out the high-end palazzo category for families wanting character and a central location.
Is the city centre of Como actually practical for families with young children?+
The centro storico of Como is compact and walkable. The lakefront promenade, the Giardini a Lago, the ferry terminal for boat trips to other lake towns, and the lower funicular station for Brunate are all reachable on foot from a central hotel. The main shopping streets are partly pedestrianised, reducing traffic stress. Staying in or adjacent to the centre, as all the listed properties do, means families avoid taxi or bus trips just to reach the main sights, which is a real practical advantage when managing children's energy and schedules.
One property is listed as Adults Only. Should families book it?+
PureView Luxury Pool Adults Only by Rent All Como is explicitly marketed as an adults-only property, as its name states, and is therefore not appropriate for families travelling with children. It is listed here for completeness at 379 euros per night with a 5 out of 5 rating, but families should choose from the other options in this list. All remaining properties, including the Rezia Apartments, Cinque Giornate 70 Suites, Le Dimore Lake Como City Center, MÍMESIS 11 Boutique Hotel, and the three palazzo properties, do not carry an adults-only designation.
