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 8.8/10 across 46 reviews, with staff, cleanliness and location the strongest points.
Who it's a good fit for
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.
