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.

El desayuno escaso y poco variado: solo pasteles y mermeladas muy azucaradas. Sin fruta, verdura, muesli o cereales.

I love this place, have been there several times! Marcella and her husbond are so nice and helpful and always positive. Me and my friends (elderly ladies) had dinner at the hostel and we all were very pleased for the food. I´ll return to Villa Olmo, I´m sure. Marja Antonsson from Sweden

Very friendly staff in beautiful location just behind a mansion on the lake. 10-15 minute walk from one train station, 20-30 minutes from the center of town/other station. Be aware that they are closed from 10 am until 4 pm, so plan to arrive early or late if you want to drop your bags. Recommended.

It is a bit inconvenient that guests who stay more than one night cannot go back to their room on the second day when the hostel is closed. It is also inconvenient that guests cannot leave their bags at the hostel upon arrival when the hostel is closed from 10am to 4pm.
