If museums are on your list of things to see in Balerna, then you might want to head to Chicco d'Oro Coffee Museum. If you want to see more of the museums in Balerna, Volta Temple isn't far either.
If you’re after a show while in the center of Chiasso, you might want to get tickets at Cinema Theatre Chiasso. If you enjoy the show and want to see another, Teatro Sociale isn't far.
You might want to head out to Mount San Giorgio for some fresh mountain air and a bird's-eye view of Meride. Want to stretch your legs some more? Head to Botanical Garden Parco San Grato and Monte San Giorgio, both nearby.
If museums are on your list of things to see in Meride, then you might want to head to Museo dei Fossili. If you want to see more of the museums in Meride, Fossil Museum Arzo and Galleria Baumgartner Museum aren't far.
This B&B is a hidden gem. A perfectly lovely place to stay outside the bustle and high cost of Como. The host Elia is friendly and caring. He made sure we knew where to park, asked us when we’d like breakfast, told us about the area. He’s a genuinely kind man. The place was recently renovated, with modern amenities.

We had the most wonderful stay. The Hotel is exceptional with fine interior design and art along with all the luxurious amenities. We stayed in a room with the most beautiful view of the lake. I highly recommend getting a room with a view. Our Breakfast and dinners were delicious, our room was spotless and pristine, the spa was super relaxing and the staff were Top Notch. We had the best time and recommend this beautiful hotel to others to enjoy.

Excellent, self service apartment with the most modern technology and excellent aesthetic design. Good coffee maker, hot water in shower, towel warmer. Exactly as advertised, great location in a quaint town. My only suggestion is to provide an iron and board.

We loved our three day stay at this lovely hotel. The views from the hotel of Lake Como and the City of Como were outstanding. We had a corner suite with two large floor to ceiling windows with views of the City of Como and its duomo as well as looking down the length of the lake. Our two sided balcony was amazing.
The food at the hotel restaurant was excellent. We were in Europe for three weeks and our meal at the Villa Flori restaurant was the best we had on our vacation.

This hotel was one of two unexpected gems. I cannot stress this enough, people. GO here. And get a room with a lake view. Pay extra for it if you have to, it's SO worth it. The look on my mother's face when she walked outside.... I've never been to Como, and my mother has never been outside the US. The hotel staff was BEYOND helpful and friendly. The hotel itself was so lovely, the restaurant was fantastic, and that view... just stunning. Parking was super cheap. The streets around the hotel are...

The property was nice and in a good location. It could use better signage outside since we pulled up and the only sign was a "M". The doors should be unlocked during the day and the offsite parking was a joke .

Great hotel. On the lake. Clean and modern. Very comfortable and pleasant experience. Rooms are not large by US standards, but still big enough to be plenty comfortable. Breakfast buffet was very good, and service at onsite restaurant was impressive. Glad I had a car. Seems like hotel would be pretty inconvenient without one.

The Lugano Dante hotel is a great hotel, the location can't be beaten, steps from the funicular and right by the city center, we walked everywhere. This hotel is very generous in terms of taking of customers, free drinks in room mini bar, coffee, espresso, apples, waters in the lobby, make one feel so much like home. The breakfast was one of the best we had in Switzerland (only behind the 5 stars hotel we stayed in Zurich), great selection with authentic Italian grilled veggies, cheeses, ham ,...

Gorgeous hotel with amazing views of the city. Although it is a little outside the city, you can walk (about 30-45 minutes) or the hotel provides transportation at certain times of the day.
