Planning a company event on Lake Como
Lake Como gives a board meeting or leadership retreat a villa or grand hotel by the water, close to Milan’s airports. It suits small and medium groups looking for privacy and a calm setting rather than large conferences.
When to go
April to October; spring and September are the most comfortable. Many lakeside hotels close from late autumn to early spring, and summer weekends bring crowds and traffic. Hotels in the town of Como are more likely to stay open out of season.
Getting the team there
Malpensa, Linate and Bergamo airports, plus trains from Milan to Como and Varenna. Coaches can reach Como and the main hotels, but lakeside roads are narrow, so plan boats or minibuses for the last stretch and for moving between venues.
Venues
Grand hotels in Cernobbio, Bellagio and the Tremezzina with meeting rooms and terraces, villas that can be booked in exclusive use for a dinner or a whole stay, and hotels in Como for larger groups. Bedroom numbers are often modest, so check capacity first.
Programme ideas
Private boat tours, visits to villa gardens, a silk workshop in Como, a hike on the slopes above the lake or a seaplane flight from Como. Milan is close enough for a final evening in the city.
