Palazzo Venezia
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Palazzo Venezia is worth booking if you want an official five-star on Piazza Cavour with a concierge who plans your days, and the price is not a concern. Skip it if you are judging on value, since guests call rooms, parking and drinks expensive, and our Best Value pick scores slightly higher for far less.

This hotel suits travellers who want to step out onto the main square and walk to the cathedral and the lakefront. Guests single out a concierge who builds custom itineraries, which helps on a first visit to Lake Como. Family rooms are listed, and the property is tagged as pet-friendly. Confirm pet rules and fees directly.
It is a poor match for anyone who is watching costs. The room rate is more than three times the city median, and guests say parking and drinks are pricey too. If you are driving, factor in parking before you commit.
Location and getting around
The address is Piazza Cavour 24, in Como City Centre. The location score is 9.6 out of 10. Guests describe a central setting near Piazza Cavour, the cathedral and the lake.
Straight-line walking estimates are short. Como Cathedral is about 0.3 km, around 4 minutes. The Tempio Voltiano is about 0.5 km, around 6 minutes. The Basilica of Sant'Abbondio is about 1.2 km, around 15 minutes. You can see the centre on foot.
What guests say
Palazzo Venezia scores 9.2 out of 10 from 173 reviews, joint second of 11 eligible properties in our sample. The review count is moderate, so read a handful of recent ones.
Guests praise a friendly, professional team, and the concierge service gets particular mention. The central position close to the lake is the other big plus.
The complaint is cost. Guests find room prices high, and the same goes for parking and drinks. Nobody in our data questions the quality; the issue is what you pay for it.
