Best Lake Como Hotels with Family Suites

Why families love Hotel Du Lac & SPA

I recommend Hotel Du Lac & SPA to families who want Bellagio on the doorstep. The family-run hotel, open since 1953, overlooks the main square and ferry dock, with family rooms and lake-view balconies. The spa has a sauna, a hammam, a jacuzzi and treatment rooms, and half-board includes a kids' menu. The Bellagio promenade and the Lido swimming pontoon are a short walk away, so the whole stay works without a car.

Why families love Palazzo San Gottardo Lake Como, a Radisson Collection Hotel

We arrived with a 5-month-old and the front desk had a cot waiting in the room without us having to chase. Breakfast was a relief: a quiet corner table with a real wooden highchair and a dedicated waiter who warmed our bottle. The walls are thick (it's a 16th-century palazzo) so other guests didn't hear us at 3am. The location couldn't be better for pram walks: cathedral square, lakefront, and Piazza Cavour are all under 5 minutes away.

Why families love Bianca Relais, by R Collection Hotels

Bianca Relais is the pet-friendly pick for families who want a country base, not a town hotel. The walled garden gives the dog a safe off-lead area, the kids have a proper pool, and the staff actually want the dog there: the welcome plate is real, not marketing copy. The trade-off is geography. You drive twenty minutes to reach the famous lakefront villages, so book this one if you have a hire car and want a calm base, not if you plan to ferry-hop daily.

Why families love Hotel La Perla

La Perla feels like staying at someone's house rather than a hotel, which families either love or find awkward. We loved it. The owners remember the kids' names by day two, breakfast is on the pool terrace, and the pool itself sits in a walled garden with no traffic noise. The walk down to Tremezzo village takes 15 minutes and is steep in places, so young kids need a buggy or carry. Rooms are basic but spotless, and triple/quad options are actually affordable.

Why families love Hotel Garni Corona

I recommend Hotel Garni Corona to cycling families who want to start from the ferry. The family-run three-star, held by the same family for three generations, sits a three-minute walk from the Menaggio pier. Bikes and e-bikes rent from reception by the hour or day, with a route map for the Menaggio-Porlezza greenway by the door. Rooms are simple but spotless, and the breakfast terrace faces Bellagio. There is no lift, and the stairs are steep.

Why families love Hotel Villa Flori

If you want lake views without sacrificing baby practicality, this is the spot. The terrace breakfast over the water was easily our 8-month-old's favourite hour of the day. The garden has a small lawn perfect for tummy time, and the staff brought out portable highchairs without us asking. The bus into Como takes 8 minutes and stops right outside, or you can walk the 20-minute lakefront path. The pool is shared with adults and stays quiet.

Why families love 73 Boutique Hotel

73 Boutique works well as a Como city base for families who want to walk everywhere with the dog. The pedestrian street outside the door means no traffic anxiety on the dog walk, the railway station for the Milan day-trip is six minutes away on foot, and the ferry pier the other direction is the same distance. Rooms are modern with proper-sized family configurations. Breakfast room is small so you may queue at peak summer.

Why families love Hotel Bellagio

Hotel Bellagio is the practical pet-and-kids choice for the iconic central lake village. Rooms are minimalist and not huge but they have proper opening windows and lake views, and the building has a small lift the dog will need to use to reach upper floors. Breakfast is served indoors on a glassed terrace where dogs can sit at your feet. The 1399 reviews are almost all repeat visits, which tells you families come back.

Why families love Parco San Marco Lifestyle Beach Resort

We came here instead of staying on Como itself and the trade-off worked. The games room is the best on the lake hands down: real billiards table, two ping pong setups, plus arcade. Kids club kept our nine-year-old occupied while we ate dinner at the lakeside restaurant. The drive into Como city is 40 minutes which we did once, then stayed put.

Why families love Palazzo Venezia

We needed a hotel where a baby and grandparents could share a suite, and Palazzo Venezia delivered: the family-suite layout has a small living room that turned into a baby-zone for daytime crawling. Staff were genuinely warm with our 11-month-old: the chef came out to confirm what she could eat, and the housekeeper brought a baby bath for her evening wash. Everything inside walks distance: cathedral 3 min, ferry 5 min, supermarket 4 min.

Why families love Hotel Regina

I recommend Hotel Regina to families with a child learning to ride a bike. The three-star sits on the quieter north shore at Gravedona, where rooms open straight onto the lakefront promenade, a safer stretch than the roads further south. The hotel lends a small fleet of trekking bikes for free, including two kid-sized ones, and Gravedona is the start of the Alto Lago cycle path to Domaso. Family rooms are available.

Why families love Hotel Bellavista Valmadrera

I would choose Bellavista Valmadrera for families with a dog whose plans centre on the Lecco branch rather than the famous central lake. The three-star faces Lecco across the eastern arm, with lake-view rooms and an on-site Italian restaurant, and it takes dogs of any size for a single fee covering the whole stay. You trade postcard Bellagio scenery for a quieter, residential side of the lake, and its 2108 reviews come mostly from Italian families.

Why families love Filario Hotel & Residences

The infinity pool at Filario genuinely does face the lake — this isn't marketing. Kids swim with a full view of Bellagio on the opposite shore, which parents photograph endlessly. The lake access is through a small private jetty with a swim ladder rather than a beach, so it's better for older children than toddlers. Apartments with kitchenette solved our breakfast-at-7am problem. Staff were relaxed about noise and we never felt like the only family with a baby.

Why families love Relais & Spa Castello di Casiglio

The castle thing is real — kids get properly excited about turrets and stone walls. The grounds are huge, the pool has grass around it rather than tiles, and there's enough space for small kids to run without hitting things. You're not on the lake though, which catches some families out. We drove to Como and Bellagio for day trips, which worked fine, but if you want to swim in the lake every day this isn't the place. Best for multi-generation trips where grandparents want quiet and kids want adventure.

Why families love Hotel Promessi Sposi

Malgrate is the unglamorous pick that actually works with kids. The hotel's rooms are modern, family configurations include a double plus two singles in a real separate alcove, and the terrace pool overlooks a pebble beach that kids can walk to in two minutes. Lecco train station is a short taxi across the bridge for day trips to Bergamo or Milan. A4 highway exit is 10 minutes away, so driving in from the airport is simpler than in the tourist-heavy upper lake towns.

Why families love Hotel Villa Aurora

Villa Aurora is the one on our list where the owners actually run the place themselves. The family rooms are large by Italian standards and include two doubles — not doubles plus singles — so older kids don't have to share beds. Half-board is cheap and the pasta is better than most restaurants on the lake. Lezzeno is the quiet stretch without the tourist crowds, and Bellagio is 10 minutes away by ferry or road. Best pick for families who want to see the lake without being in the thick of the tourist hoards.

Why families love Hotel Resort Le Vele

I recommend Le Vele to families who want a resort feel at the top of Lake Como. The three-star in Domaso has family apartments sleeping four to six, with separate bedrooms, a kitchenette and a small living room, which suits stays of four nights or more. The outdoor pool is shallow on one side, and the sandy beach in front is flat, rare on the lake. Domaso's windsurf and sailing schools are 200 metres away. It is also the most affordable stay on our list.

Why families love Avenue Boutique Hotel

We were on a budget and Avenue gave us 4-star comfort at a sensible price. Family rooms have actual space for a cot beside the bed (not behind it), which made night feeds easier. Breakfast is a buffet but staff cleared a table corner for us with a highchair at 8am. The 8-minute walk to the lakefront uses pram-flat streets. It's modern rather than historic, but everything works as it should.

Why families love Hotel Lenno

I recommend Hotel Lenno to families who want water sports and a calmer village on the western shore. The four-star lakeshore hotel in Lenno is 10 minutes from Villa del Balbianello and 25 minutes from Bellagio by ferry. Kayaks rent on site, the lakeside garden has sun loungers, and the wellness centre offers a sauna, a jacuzzi and treatment rooms. Family rooms are available, along with babysitting services on request.

Why families love Hotel Paradiso Como

The funicular ride alone made the kids happy for the whole trip. Table tennis on the terrace with that lake view was the photo op of the holiday. Board games are well-loved with all the pieces present, which we appreciated. Down in Como city for dinner takes 7 minutes by funicular, and you're back up before the kids melt down.

Why families love Locanda Sant' Anna

The trade-off here is altitude. You're 700m above the lake, in cool mountain forest, with views back down to the water. The on-site playground is small but enough for an hour after dinner. Family rooms are simple but solid: two doubles or a double plus bunks. Restaurant does proper Italian half-board with a kids' option that's not just pasta with butter. The catch: you need a car. Public transport from the lake stops at Argegno and there's no bus up to Schignano. Best for families who want a quieter, cheaper Lake Como base and don't mind 15-minute drives down to the ferry.

Why families love Hotel Sole

San Siro is one of the quieter mid-lake villages — five minutes by car to Menaggio, and the ferry stops here on the C30 line. Hotel Sole's family rooms are bigger than most 3-star options on the lake, with a separate sleeping nook for the kids. Half-board dinner is set menu but always includes a kids' choice. The beach two minutes away has flat rocks for sunbathing rather than sand but stays in shallow water for 10 metres. Avoid the room over the kitchen extractor — ask for a 2nd-floor lake-view. The owners are gracious with kids and remember names by the second day.

Why families love Hotel Vischi

Domaso is where Italian families actually go on Lake Como — it's flatter, the water's a degree or two warmer, and the public lido has actual sand. Hotel Vischi sits a 6-minute walk from that beach. Family rooms are basic but include a real fridge and kettle, useful for baby food and bottles. The owners loan beach toys and umbrellas free of charge. Restaurant is half-board only on weekends. The best fit for families who want a budget, no-fuss base on the lake and don't mind a 90-minute drive south to reach Bellagio for the postcard photos.

Why families love Hotel Lumin

Three nights in early September with two kids aged 5 and 8. Cremia is far from the Bellagio crowds and that was the appeal — the beach pontoon was 20 metres from the hotel and the kids learned to swim in the lake there. The spa was small but the hydromassage was a hit with the 8-year-old. Drove to Menaggio one day for the ferry to Bellagio. Cheapest of our 5 picks and felt like the most relaxed setting for under-10s.

Why families love Hilton Lake Como

Hilton is the play-it-safe option on Lake Como and there's no shame in that. Kids get a proper pool (25m, heated), parents get a bar with a view, and everyone gets rooms where the air conditioning actually works. The downside is it feels like a city hotel with a lake nearby rather than a lake hotel — you don't wake up to views of water. Best for families doing one or two nights as part of a northern Italy trip rather than a week of lake holiday.

Why families love Palace Hotel Lake Como

I recommend Palace Hotel Lake Como to families who want an upscale base in Como city. The Liberty-style four-star has true connecting family rooms with a locking door between them, and a small heated rooftop pool with lake-view loungers. Breakfast moves to the garden terrace in summer, and babysitting is available on request. The cathedral and ferry pier are a five-minute walk. Ask for a quiet room, as front-facing rooms catch early tour-bus noise.

Why families love Hotel Don Ferrante

Bellagio with kids sounds like a logistical nightmare until you find a place inside the old town and stop driving. Parking is free at the municipal lot 6 minutes uphill, and after that your feet and the bikes handle everything. The breakfast room is tiny but the pastries arrive from the bakery 20 metres away. One heads-up: not every room has a cot, so request specifically at booking.

Why families love Hotel Risi

I would choose Hotel Risi for families who want quiet over postcard scenery. It sits at Colico on the northern shore of Lake Como, 200 metres from the village centre, where there are fewer day-trippers and parking is easier. The nineteenth-century building has lake views from its upper rooms, a small spa with a sauna and family rooms, and free parking. Bellagio is 50 minutes away by ferry, and an airport shuttle from Bergamo runs on request.

Why families love Hotel Asnigo

Asnigo felt grown-up which our 11-year-old appreciated. The games corner has actual quality board games rather than the usual tatty assortment. Outdoor pool is small but the view down to Cernobbio justifies it. The walk down to the village is fine, the walk back up is the workout you didn't sign up for. Take the bus.

Why families love Park Hotel Abbadia

I would choose Park Hotel Abbadia for families who prefer the quieter eastern shore of Lake Como. It sits at Abbadia Lariana, 15 minutes from Lecco by car or train, with family rooms, an outdoor pool overlooking the lake and free parking. The wellness area has a sauna, a jacuzzi and a small treatment room. The ferry to Bellagio takes 25 minutes from the Abbadia dock, which makes a day across the lake easy.
