About This Guide
Lake Como has embraced pet-friendly travel with open arms, and these hotels lead the pack. Whether you're traveling with a Great Dane or a Chihuahua, each property on our list has been vetted for genuine pet welcome — not just a grudging 'pets allowed' policy, but thoughtful amenities that make your companion feel as pampered as you. Our top pick, Il Sereno Lago di Como, stands out for its dedicated pet concierge service and custom pet beds. Royal Victoria Hotel offers a particularly impressive pet menu, while Hotel du Lac Varenna provides a private garden area perfect for morning walks. When choosing a pet-friendly hotel in Lake Como, location matters as much as pet policy. We've prioritised properties near parks, walking trails, and pet-friendly restaurants so you and your companion can explore together without constant taxi rides back to the hotel.

Pack your pet's favourite bed or blanket to help them settle in unfamiliar surroundings.
Ask the concierge for pet-friendly restaurant recommendations near the hotel.
Research Lake Como's parks and green spaces before arrival for exercise options.
Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Torno
A boldly contemporary design hotel on the eastern Como arm designed by Patricia Urquiola, with glass-and-steel cantilevered over the water, minimal luxury interiors, and an infinity lap pool. The most architecturally significant hotel on the lake and an extraordinary contrast to the villa tradition.
Varenna
A lakefront 19th-century hotel in Varenna — widely considered the most beautiful village on the lake — with a garden terrace directly on the water, a pool, and rooms of honest traditional character. Varenna is quieter than Bellagio and the ferry connections superb.
Varenna
A small, family-run hotel on the Varenna waterfront with a terrace restaurant hovering literally over the lake surface, offering some of the most coveted lunch tables on Como and rooms of unpretentious comfort at below-average prices for the quality.
Bellagio
A family-run lakeside albergo 2km from Bellagio with a private dock, a celebrated fish restaurant supplied daily by the family's own fishing boat, and simple, immaculate rooms at budget-friendly prices. The most authentic fisherman's accommodation on the lake.
Tremezzo
A stunning 1910 Liberty-style palace on the mid-lake western shore with three pools including a floating platform pool on the lake, a historic car collection in the garage, and rooms of romantic grandeur facing the Villa Carlotta gardens across the water. One of Europe's great classic hotel experiences.
A classic waterfront hotel in Como city centre directly on the Piazza Cavour, with lake-facing rooms, a restaurant terrace above the ferry terminal, and easy access to the Como Funicolare and the southern lake ferry network. A practical and pleasant base for exploring the full lake.
