Palazzo Albricci Peregrini
Pocket-sized palazzo. Ancient bones, contemporary edit. Think distressed walls, polished concrete, battered leather sofas, and a golden retriever named Noa who greets guests at the door. Feels like staying in a very stylish friend's centuries-old home — because that's essentially what it is.
Ask for the Privè wing if you want frescoed ceilings and Venetian marble floors; request the Suites wing if you prefer garden views and wooden beams
Why It Matters
Selected by Tablet Hotels and the MICHELIN Guide. One of the very few genuinely intimate luxury options inside the walled old town of Como — not on the lake itself, but a short walk from the water. The multi-course signature breakfast alone has developed an international following.
A family-owned 15th-century palazzo sitting inside Como's medieval walls, turned into a 10-room boutique hotel by the Galli family — an engineer, a lawyer, and two architect children who renovated it using reclaimed and locally sourced materials. Ten rooms split between two distinct wings: Palazzo Albricci Privè (frescoed ceilings, Venetian marble terrazzo floors, Jacuzzi baths) and Palazzo Albricci Suites (garden-facing, original wooden beams, cotto lombardo floors). Far less conspicuous than the grand lakeside palaces, and completely deliberate about it.

How you'll actually spend your days.
