Why staying in Brunate changes your Lake Como experience

Many travellers visiting Lake Como ask the same question: where is the best place to stay to truly enjoy the lake?

The answer often comes down to one choice — staying in Como or staying in Brunate.

While they are only minutes apart, the experience they offer is very different.

Como and Brunate: two ways of experiencing the lake

Como is lively, elegant and full of movement. Restaurants, shops and the lakefront create a dynamic atmosphere, especially during peak season.

Brunate, just above Como, offers something else: space, quiet and a wider perspective over the lake.

The difference is not distance, but rhythm.

Why many travellers choose Brunate

Staying in Brunate means waking up surrounded by light, silence and panoramic views.

From above, the lake feels calmer, more expansive and less hurried.

Many guests discover that stepping away from the busiest areas allows them to experience Lake Como in a more authentic and relaxed way.

Is staying in Brunate inconvenient?

Brunate is easily connected to Como by the historic funicular, which takes only a few minutes.

For many travellers, this short journey becomes part of the experience — a gentle transition between the energy of the town and the calm of the hill above.

If nightlife and constant movement are a priority, Como may be the better choice.

If peace, views and a slower pace matter more, Brunate often feels just right.

A different perspective on Lake Como

Looking at Lake Como from above changes how it feels.

The crowds fade into the background, the landscape opens up and time seems to slow down.

This is why many travellers who stay in Brunate describe their experience as deeper, more personal and more memorable.

Why we chose Brunate

We chose Brunate because we believe that today’s true luxury is space, time and quiet.

Because Lake Como reveals its most beautiful side when it is observed calmly, without rushing.

Hotel Paradiso Como was created to offer exactly this: a place where the lake can be experienced from a quieter, more genuine perspective.

Choosing between Como and Brunate is not about right or wrong.

It is about how you want to feel during your stay.

If you are looking for calm, views and a slower way to experience Lake Como, Brunate is a choice worth considering.
