The Hotel Barchetta Excelsior is a member of the Villa d’Este Group and has a superb location in the heart of historical city centre of Como, with the best view of the lake in town. Located in the main square facing the most romantic lake in the world and a short walk to the old town with its cobbled streets and impressive Renaissance Cathedral. The hotel is a very comfortable base from which to explore the area. It was built in 1893 and quickly became the most important hotel in town, as well as a meeting point of the local aristocrats. After a huge 2013 refurbishment, with modern and contemporary public areas, and traditionally decorated rooms, the Barchetta is a comfortable and very welcoming hotel. There are 84 rooms, 80 of which are twin or double bedded. The are also three junior suites and one suite. The majority of the rooms face the lake and feature: air conditioning, satellite TV, direct line telephone, mini bar, safe, hypoallergenic pillows, Wi-Fi Internet connection, bathtub & shower, complimentary amenities, hairdryer. The American Bar & Lounge is the perfect starting point whether at lunch, dinner or for an afternoon tea or cocktail, whilst the panoramic first-floor restaurant serves breakfast and private banquets accompanied by an extensive wine list. A smart hotel, with excellent service and an unmatched lakeside location makes the Barchetta Excelsior ideal for a holiday in the lake region surrounded by green hills with a mild climate throughout all the year.
