Palazzo Albricci Peregrini

We stayed here based on all the 5 star reviews First the good. Excellent location right in the center of Como in the pedestrian zone. A bit difficult to get to if you are driving yourself. About a block from the cathedral square. Staff are incredibly attentive and helpful. They will do anything to help you and take care of you. It is indeed a restored palazzo and each room is unique. Bathrooms have been renovated with good hot water and pressure . The breakfasts are served to you with several very interesting choices some of which change daily. Food is excellent. Next the not so good. Quaint and charming does not always translate into luxurious rooms. It is not inexpensive to stay here and we did not find all the furniture up to par. There was pervasive perfume throughout as if they were trying to hide something . I have never experienced this before and it gave my wife a severe migraine which she rarely gets. The staff were responsive and changed our room to another with no carpeting. And we were able to complete our stay. Hence 4 stars. If you have any fragrance allergies this place is not for you.

Loved our 4-night stay in this fabulous heritage hotel in the heart of the old city. Quiet and serene surroundings, great breakfast and staff. We stayed in the Carta da Zucchero room on the first floor overlooking the street, but no noise at all! Stylish furnishings in the bedroom and bathroom. Also, if you just want a simple meal in the evening, it’s possible to purchase wine by the glass and a charcuterie plate to eat in the garden. Thank you Julie and all the lovely people in this hotel. We also met the owner, a graceful lady in a gorgeous silk dress who said hello to us…

Not much to write about here, it's all fantastic. Rooms are beautiful, large bathrooms with proper high pressure showers, staff are terrific. You're in the middle of Como, it's a no brainer. Best hotel we have stayed in on our current Europe trip.

Stayed here for 4 nights for our one year anniversary. We were informed at check in that the AC was not working (normally a red flag for me in Italy). Having said that, I decided to take the risk as the property is beautiful, the staff are amazing. The problems began out last night. Around 12am, the downstairs guests (children) decided to start smoking. Now normally this wouldn’t be an issue, except the AC wasn’t working for the duration of our stay which required us leaving the windows open. Soon thereafter, smoke started to fill our room, as they “partied” on their patio the loud voices and laughs rang through the breakfast courtyard. I called the emergency line and received a call back. The lady wasn’t apologetic as she had no idea based on my description which room we were in or who we were. Super disappointed as this was the first time we’ve encountered guests who acted like they were in Ibiza, in a city like Como. The service and property are immaculate but I’ve learned to stay away from the trash you have to spend ＞$1,000/night. Daddy/Mommy can’t or refuse to pay that much for their children to sleep/smoke.

From the truly incredible breakfast spread (check out their Instagram account, but it's legitimately unbelievable what's included in breakfast: homemade and locally sourced cheeses, meats, yogurt parfaits, cakes, cookies, jams, breads, egg dishes, porridge and great coffee to boot!) to the impeccably designed rooms, we loved every moment of our time here. My personal favorite aspect is that Julie and Elena offer an aperitivo hour each night on the patio where you can order snacks and cocktails while listening to jazz in the beautiful candlelit garden area. This is one of my favorite spots we've ever stayed in and I would recommend it to any and everyone I know visiting Como. It's a slice of heaven with beautiful decor, delicious breakfast and two incredibly kind and helpful hosts!

Wonderful charming hotel with boutique feel in the heart of Como. We stayed here using IHG points and were very impressed with the entire stay. Breakfast was my favorite. Every course is hand served. Make time to enjoy breakfast if you stay here! We also enjoyed using the hotels free bikes to ride around town. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quaint very Italian feeling place to stay in Como. Only about 10-15 min walk to the water and ferry that takes you to other towns on the lake. We loved our stay.

I LOVED this place. Perfect location in the historical center. Charming little bed and breakfast style place. You are greeted with such hospitality, you truly feel welcomed here. Upon arrival I was given a welcome drink and snack, and the property manager sat down with me and went over the map, made restaurant suggestions and answered all questions I had. She will make reservations for you, call taxis, whatever you need. They are also well known for their breakfast. All homemade items being made right there in the kitchen you can see through a window. Breakfast is included and it did NOT disappoint. One of the best breakfasts I have ever had. And it is about 5 courses long and served in a lovely little garden area. The room was spacious, I had a loft room. Had nespresso machine and variety of waters in the room. The bed was so comfortable, wow. And perfect location! far enough from the plaza that it is absolutely silent at night. A market right around the corner. Very very safe. But only several meters from shopping and restaurants during the day. Excellent location. I was skeptical about Not staying in one of the usual elaborate villas along the lake, with a pool and etc. And I'm glad I stayed here. I was able to enjoy the true charm of Como. This place is a gem!
