These exquisite lodgings offer a luxury getaway that is perfect for romance or those seeking a unique experience, and is complete with breathtaking views and a variety of activities to partake in. Boasting both lakeview rooms and fully equipped apartments, the hotel offers patrons the ability to wake up to the sound of waves breaking on the shore and birds chirping as they fly over the Como Lake mountains, and this is just the beginning.

With a local shop, café, restaurant, and pharmacy all within 50 metres of the hotel, guests have all the necessary amenities available within walking distance, something which is incredibly uncommon across the industry. As Margherita explains, the aim of the hotel is to provide more than just outstanding accommodation, and there is a commitment to leaving a lasting impression with good memories for everybody who stays at the lodgings and visits the area. This desire to provide the highest quality service stems from Margherita’s more than 40 years of travelling. During this time, she stayed in thousands of properties, and wanted to bring together the best of all of these experiences in Al Molo 5, creating an unparalleled atmosphere that would leave guests 100% satisfied every time. No easy feat, the team were determined to strike a balance of tending to every need without being intrusive, making customer stays simple and truly hospitable, all while providing top quality food at reasonable prices at the restaurant below. Current trends within the industry have resulted in the hotel welcoming selected and high-level clientele. In order to successfully cater for this, the team has widened its array of services, and will soon open suites to tend to the needs of even the most particular customer.

Al Molo 5 is the perfect destination for those looking to escape from it all and is an ideal destination for romantic celebrations such as an anniversary.
