Little Gem No. 078 | Eight rooms with Lake view

Italië > Lombardy
users 2 bed 1 bath 1

Where romance meets tradition on the quiet side of the lake

Tucked into the sleepy hillside hamlet of Torriggia Alta in Laglio — a village that clings softly to the romantic shores of Lake Como — you’ll find Ca’ Spiga, a beautifully restored country house turned intimate bed and breakfast.

This place is more than just a stay — it’s a family story. In the late 1800s, Cetti Carlo was born right here in Laglio. The eldest of seven orphaned brothers, he moved to Milan to support his family and ended up living in via della Spiga — now the heart of the city’s fashion district, but back then just another quiet street. That nickname, Spiga, followed him home. Generations later, his great-grandsons Alessandro and Andrea have brought the family house back to life — naming it in his honour and restoring every stone with care.

Ca’ Spiga is the first Albergo Diffuso officially recognised in the Province of Como — a hospitality concept that honours traditional village life by renovating existing homes rather than building anew. Staying here means being part of that philosophy: respectful, soulful, rooted.

There are 7 double rooms and one triple, each with a spectacular lake view, en-suite bathroom, and soft, pastel tones that echo the old Lake Como countryside style. Think wooden beams, antique tools from local farm life, and a simplicity that feels timeless. There's also a small apartment — perfect if you’re looking for a little extra privacy.

Guests must be 12 or older — not out of exclusivity, but to preserve the tranquillity of the space. The feeling here is peaceful, thoughtful, and unhurried.

 

Why we love it:

This is the kind of place that feels like a secret. No frills, no fuss — just good air, old stones, and lake views that take your breath away. Alessandro and Andrea are the kind of hosts you wish all stays came with: generous, passionate, and deeply connected to their land.

Whether you're planning to explore Bellagio, hop over to Switzerland for the day, or simply sit back with a book and watch the light move across the water — Ca’ Spiga offers the perfect base.
