Hotel Villa Flori

The 19th-century neoclassical villa on the eastern shore of Lake Como, Hotel Villa Flori retains its original frescoed ceilings and wrought-iron terrace railings above gardens that drop directly to the water.

Rooms facing the lake command unobstructed views across to the Brunate hillside; those on the garden side are quieter and cooler through August. The terrace restaurant serves dinner with the lake as a backdrop, drawing on Lombard staples like missoltino and risotto al pesce persico from local catches.

The villa sits minutes from Como's historic centre and the Funicolare Como-Brunate departure point, with hydrofoil connections to Bellagio and Varenna accessible from the nearby lakeside pier.
