The property is in a great location for food, shopping, and easy access (less than 10 minutes walk to the lakeside); it is about a 15 minute walk to the train station, but easily doable. The owner, Marco, was very friendly and helpful. We've decided that any return trip to Lake Como would include a stay here.

Excellent property, in an excellent location. Perfect for two adults and two children. The host was very helpful when we called for advice on parking and directions. We would book the accommodation again.

Its Pretty Good not Great
A great location right in the village of Como. The room was spacious and beautiful. Cleanliness was ok but a bit questionable. Bed was clean and comfortable despite a broader lack of cleanliness. Bottled water was always provided which was quite nice. Walls where quite thin you could easily hear your neighbors. Overall a quality place for a weekend stay.

This property was adequate. It had enough space and beds for my family of 4. However, the area was very noisy, both in the morning and evening. The air conditioner was not programmable, the wifi dropped constantly, and we had to call the owner for the code. I would recommend leaving that information in the room. Information about getting in was not readily available. Also, this property should not call itself a "bed and breakfast" because there was no breakfast available!

Unfortunately, the host wasn't there to check us in. There was no note or anyone else to advice us what to do. We had to call Orbitz who was willing to relocate us till the host showed up. The location was great, but the apt was very cold. Heating is not turned on till mid Oct, which is fine, but a space heater would have been good. We asked and received extra covers, which were great.

Disappointed, no rooms if you booked and Paid
I searched a room in the area, found this one, booked and paid full amount on line. When we arrived, the hotel said there is no rooms left, fully booked. The hotel asked me to cancel but it is non refundable, so if I canceled I lost all the money. I asked the hotel to cancel, they said they could not. At the end, they gave us a doc to show they cancelled. At the end, I spent half an hour of my holiday time to call Hotels.com to cancel and get a refund. So I don't know anything about this hotel but for sure, there is something wrong there, either the booking system, the staff or the communication.

egregio signore capitano pochi casi nella vita nei quali due prenotazioni coincidano e differiscono di pochi minuti per le quali ragioni si incappa in un overbooking. E' difficile usare un metro sulla scelta di chi deve occupare la camera per prima, in genere noi adottiamo chi arriva al check in prima si accomoda però non può accusare noi di trattenere i soldi perchè noi non li abbiamo incassati volutamente ,lo richiede la prassi, il rimborso lo deve fare l'agenzia o il portale da dove ha prenotato. Le regole sono quelle che le ho spiegato e sono regole internazionali, noi non incassando l'abbiamo messa nella situazione migliore anche perché la compagnia ha il dovere di trovarle una soluzione difatto lei ha pagato loro. poi se lei vuole dare un giudizio negativo anche se non ha soggiornato questo ricuseremo il portale da dove ha soggiornato. e comunque visto che ha il n di telefono mi contatti pure ! Grazie

We liked location. Staff was friendly. Parking was difficult. We were shown where we could park on street for free, but this was a long walk and I didn’t feel comfortable leaving car parked on street more than 1km away. We found a parking garage on our own with 24 hour security (not ideal and still a long walk but we had peace of mind). We had understood we paid for breakfast with our stay but there was no breakfast apparently due to COVID. We found this out during checkin. During stay Air conditioner stopped working. So we changed rooms, but we didn’t have warm water for the shower in second room.

Caro signore sia sulla situazione parcheggio che colazione , sul sito sono espresse chiaramente le condizioni, in genere prima di definire la prenotazione è bene rileggere le regole. non è colpa nostra se lei ha scelto una struttura che non ha parcheggio perché in pieno centro storico e la colazione è stata un nostra e obbligata scelta di non servirla per la Pandemia di fatto il prezzo delle camere è stato ribassato. Sulla questione aria condizionata e acqua calda spieghi bene i fatti (che è Meglio) proprio per non apparire menefreghisti. si è guastata la centraline della caldaia e il pezzo va sostituito di sabato nessun rifornitore era aperto tanto che abbiamo potuto ripristinare solo il Martedì successivo l'intera struttura. noi abbiamo applicato sconti su tutta la clientela compreso lei, oltremodo servendole la colazione in camera nell'ultimo giorno di occupazione .Non si puo dire che siamo menefreghisti.

So so.
Wasn't aware there were 62 steps (6 flights) to get to our room. Being on a 3 week trip, we had medium sized bags and backpacks. It was difficult for us senior citizens. Room smelled perfumed when we arrived, then like a sewer problem. Our host was gracious, but I would not choose this B&B again.

Sorry to receive comments that are not entirely positive. The fact of the steps is only its exclusive fault, when booking you must always read all the features of the structure to avoid unpleasant incidents. Thank you for the comment on the staff, while the smell of sewage was not our fault but the bar below.

Quaint, close to everything in Como.
For the most part the B&B was ok. It was clean, bed could be worse and it could be better. Room was plenty big for 2 people. NO air conditioning except in the breakfast area, a fan was provided. Initially you can park 75 yards away for up to 3 hours, then you have to move, 17 minute walk if you can find parking on the main street! I did find parking, didn't like the idea the car was way out of sight...things could happen!

B&Bstorico is located in the old part of Como within the original town walls. Very convenient to walk anywhere. Storico is in an original old house, beautifully restored rooms and decorated with style and love. Breakfast is outstanding with a excellent selection of local products and homemade delicacies. We can only recommend it.

Good location BAD Service
Sorry but it was very bad service. Nobody was there when we and another family arrived. The host didn't arrive until 30 minutes after we called. He took our passport to copy and never returned until we called and he said he forgot! Waited another one hour for him to bring back the passport. Besides there was no air conditioning in room so couldn't sleep all night-too hot in 35 degree! However the location was good. So if in winter it's ok for a 1 or 2 nights stay but in summer, ouch please find a place with air conditioning!

I regret not staying longer
This was heaven on earth with such a pleasant welcoming home feeling on a stressful business trip. I needed a central location, a beautiful homey place to stay and for everything to just be easy. No faffing about that you get with most Italian places, it was just perfect with the added beauty of a historic building with natural stone inside and beautifully / intelligently decorated. Ask the owner for a tailored dinner recommendation. I had the best dinner ever and he knew "just the place". I'm sorry I missed your legendary breakfast! I promise to come back again soon!

La camera si trova nel centro al terzo piano, senza un ascensore. La camera e il bagno sono carini. Il riscaldamento facevo caldo. C'era tutto che si deve avere. Potevo fare tè e cafè. Il colazione non era incluso del prezzo. Non c'era un copripiumino sul grande piumino usato, solo una lenzuola sotto, non mi sentivo molto bene e igenica di questo. Inoltre una bella camera.

Selbstverständlich dachten wir, und es wurde auch so beschrieben, dass wir die Unterkunft alleine bewohnen. Dem war nicht so! Der Vermieter hat uns die Adresse und den Code zum Türöffnen per WhatsApp gesendet und sich danach nie wieder gemeldet. Als wir das Apartment betraten, war links eine teilverfallene Treppe, wir dachten die führt zum Dachboden.Es war Schon spät, wir waren müde haben uns zwar geärgert, sind dann aber rechts in unser Apartment gegangen. Um 3.00 morgens wurden wir durch Lärm und gepolter aus dem Schlaf gerissen. Als ich aufsprang, stand ich vor einem stark alkoholisierten Mann, der nur italienisch lallte und schrie. Da keine Verständigung möglich war, ging er dann die Treppe hoch in den beschriebenen Dachboden. Ein weiterschlafen war unmöglich und der Vermieter nicht erreichbar. Ich fordere mein Geld zurück, notfalls werde ich auch versuchen von ebookers mein Geld zu bekomme , denn die müssten doch auch Verantwortung übernehmen. Die können doch nicht jeden Miststall ohne Prüfung auf ihre Website stellen. PS: Bis man von denen Support bekommt, sind mehr als 6 Stunden vergangen. Danke für nix!

Oh My God ! What a B&B !
I was waiting for 1 hour to get my room key. But the host has gone to milan(more than 1hour by car). So I have to make a int'l phone call to get my room key. After 1.5hours of effort I got my room key. This B&B is located 5th floor & and our room door was out of order so we cannot lock our room door. Further more room TV is located more than 2m high. The host never say "I am sorry !"
