The B&B Convento Sant’Antonio welcomes its guests in a captivating historic building located in the heart of Como, just a short walk from the Cathedral and the lake. The establishment has been carefully restored from the family home of Giampiero Molteni and his daughters Greta and Sofia, transformed into a hospitality venue that blends history, character, and modern comfort. The building, which dates back to the 14th century, was once part of an ancient convent; the areas now designated for guests have been created from the restoration of the old side altar of the adjoining church, resulting in a unique and evocative atmosphere.
The exterior maintains a deliberately understated simplicity that contrasts with the elegance of the interiors, where an intimate and refined ambiance can be felt. The common areas and rooms reflect the owner's passion for antiques: vintage furniture, exquisite rugs, and items gathered over years of international exploration combine to create harmonious, warm, and personal spaces. The three spacious and bright rooms offer Wi-Fi connectivity and marble bathrooms equipped with all amenities, designed to ensure a relaxing stay with attention to detail.
The experience at Convento Sant’Antonio merges the charm of historic lakeside residences with genuine and familial hospitality. Giampiero, a deep connoisseur of the area and a sports enthusiast, loves to share personalized suggestions and experiences with guests, from scenic hikes in the hills surrounding the lake to sporting activities, including thrilling motorcycle rides along the most picturesque roads in the region. For travelers on two wheels, there is also a well-equipped garage available for all needs.
Thanks to its central location, with the lake just a few minutes' walk away and the train station easily accessible, the property serves as an ideal starting point for exploring Como and its surroundings, offering a stay that combines history, elegance, and a true spirit of hospitality.
