Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is perfectly situated on the edge of Lake Como, offering breathtaking views and a peaceful ambiance. The rooms are cozy, some with a lovely view of the lake, conveniently located next to the restaurant. The service is top-notch, providing everything from housekeeping to tour assistance. The location is ideal for exploring the surrounding areas, right by the dock for the ferry. However, while the dining experience was mostly delicious, some items like the poorly made eggs left something to be desired.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were cozy with a beautiful view of the lake from our balcony. The breakfasts were delightful in a most attractive dining room with stunning lake views. The location is fantastic, directly on Como's lake, away from the hustle and bustle of tourist crowds in a very quiet and authentic town. However, there was no beach nearby as advertised.
