A lakeside vacation here is a wonderful experience that's hard to forget. There are also lots of other things to see: besides stunning Lake Como, which can be crossed to the other side by frequent erries, there is the beautiful art and the shopping in nearby towns - all easily reachable. Travel to a town where it's possible to buy silk at a discount, for instance. The list of activities here is so long that there's no chance of being bored in Como, the commercial crossroads between Europe and Italy. There's also a bit of folklore that takes place each June when the evocative Medieval Palio is held.

Customer Reviews Como - Villa Olmo

| Excellent hostel with a warm, family feel. | ||

| Hostel has a lockout - 10 til 4 I believe. Dinner offered each night was cheap and tasty. Typical Italian b/fast (free) - roll, coffee, cereal. 15 min walk into town, or buses that drop you off right outside. Staff were very friendly, and helped with anything we needed. The dorms are single sex, so I couldn't stay with my wife. Curfew is midnight. | ||

| This is one of the most beautiful hostel in Italy, certainly. Como is near Milan (Milano), so a good choice and an oportuniy to see the beautiful lake.
Staff of Villa Olmo is excellent, very kind and considerate. | ||

| Very friendly Stuff. The rooms where all the people sleeps are smelly and hostel closes at 12am so it actually feels like an orphan. | ||
| 26 Aug 2011 Joel, Canada | 97% | |
| It would have been perfect if the room had bigger windows to allow more fresh air during the summer and also if the window had a screen to keep mosquitos out | ||
