Antica Molina
Apartment-style rooms with kitchens, two restaurants and a fireplace, in the Lake Como village of Faggeto Lario
A place to stay in Faggeto Lario
Antica Molina is a hotel in Faggeto Lario, on the shore of Lake Como in Lombardy. It runs more like a small apartment house than a classic hotel: rooms range from a studio to a two-bedroom penthouse, and each comes with a stovetop, refrigerator, kitchenware, coffee machine and washing machine. Two on-site restaurants and a bar mean you do not have to cook every night. Free parking, free wifi and pet-friendly rooms round out the practical side. Guests rate it 4.5/5 across 46 reviews, with staff, cleanliness and location the strongest points.
Who this stay suits
Self-catering apartments with hotel backup - full kitchens, two restaurants downstairs, and a quiet village setting on Lake Como.
Best for
- Travellers who want a kitchen and washing machine
- Families needing multi-bed apartments
- Drivers - free parking on site
- Guests travelling with pets
Less suited to
- Anyone wanting a full-service resort with a pool or spa
- Travellers without a car who want to be in Como town itself
Apartment-style rooms
Every unit has a stovetop, refrigerator, kitchenware, coffee machine and washing machine, plus a dining area and sofa. Tile or marble floors and a fireplace give the spaces a solid, traditional feel. Some rooms open onto a balcony.
Two restaurants and a bar
The property runs two on-site restaurants and a bar, so eating in is easy even though every apartment has its own kitchen. This is unusual for an apartment-style stay and removes the main drawback of self-catering in a small village.
Faggeto Lario setting
The hotel sits in Faggeto Lario, a village on the eastern shore of Lake Como. It is a quieter base than Como town, with the lake and mountain slopes close by. Free parking and an airport shuttle help with arrival.

Arriving in Faggeto Lario
Antica Molina is 41.3 km from Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP), where the Malpensa Express train runs to Milano Cadorna and Centrale. The nearest intercity station is Como San Giovanni, about 7.9 km away. Italian cities charge a tourist tax (tassa di soggiorno) per person per night, collected by the property rather than included in the booking total; the rate depends on the city and the property's star rating, and many properties still take it in cash.
Guests rate Antica Molina 4.5 out of 5 across 46 reviews. Staff, cleanliness and location come up as the strongest themes. The apartment format - with kitchens, washing machines and free parking - suits travellers who want independence without giving up the option of eating in a restaurant downstairs.
