Question
How do I get around Moltrasio?
Answer
Booking a car beforehand is the best option for going anywhere far. If you're just going back and forth to wedding villa, you can easily walk—it's around five minutes from Grand Imperiale/Hotel Posta. (There will also be shuttles to and from wedding events.) If you're going around Como to sightsee in the town, we recommend taking the ferry from the dock near Grand Imperiale.
Question
What's the best way for me to get to the wedding villa from my hotel?
Answer
If you're staying at Grand Imperiale or Hotel Posta the villa is within walking distance. Just take a right when leaving either hotel and the villa is on the right side around the corner. If you're not staying within walking distance, keep in mind there is no Uber in Como, you'll need to find a car service or taxi to arrange to pick up/drop off or check the shuttle schedule provided upon arrival.
