Top hotels in Besso

Villa Sassa
"While the views of Lake Lugano are on point, the place is outdated and in dire need of renovation. We stayed in a Grand Suite, but cooling was a major issue, there were only two AC units for four bedrooms and a living room, which is unacceptable. We ended up dragging a mattress into the living room ..."

Hotel Barchetta Excelsior
"Great location overlooking the water. Walkable and great city. Super easy to take ferries to other cities like Bellagio. The ferry is literally across the street. This was our favorite spot (hotel and location) of the Italy tour."

Hotel Funicolare

B&B Hotel Como City Center
"Great hotel for price, staff was amazing, my only concern was it’s a couple of blocks outside downtown area and I didn’t love walking back at night with my daughter. Loved their free pastries and well stocked small shop. Would definitely stay again, very close to train station"
