Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 20 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Hotel Villa Flori is best suited to couples wanting a historic, romantic setting on the water. The 19th-century villa includes a private dock for boat arrivals, a lakefront restaurant with panoramic views, and a private park planted with citrus groves. Breakfast draws strong praise from guests. The hotel sits some distance from Como's town centre, so a car is useful for exploring further afield, and not every room comes with a lake view, so it is worth checking room categories before booking.
Guests score it 9.2 out of 10 — the average across the 16 hotels we list in Lake Como is 9.3.
What Guests Loved
- The villa retains Venetian stucco work and original frescos, with a history tied to Italian general Giuseppe Garibaldi, who married here, giving guests a genuine sense of place.
- Guests arriving by boat can dock directly at the hotel, a practical and scenic option for those exploring Lake Como's shoreline by water rather than road.
Things to Consider
- At 3.1 miles from Como, guests wanting to walk into town for shops or restaurants will need to arrange transport rather than stroll there directly.
- Only some rooms include a balcony or lake outlook, so travelers prioritizing scenery should confirm room type carefully when booking.
