Lake Como Hotels

I was given a room in the villa across the street and it was lovely! So clean and comfortable with a great balcony and view of Lake Como!

This was a perfectly good hotel and we may stay again. However, it did not meet my expectations of a four-star hotel. Certain things seemed to be lacking, such as tissues in the bathroom, a dedicated bathmat (though plenty of hand towels to use as a substitute), adequate pillows (because flat and hard we needed two each, but there were only three in the room not four and that was because we happened to be put in a triple and could use the pillow from the single bed), and I noticed that the mirror and light fittings in the bathroom were dusty. The room lamps were dim and there were not enough of them. Conversely, the outside lights were bright all night and it was a good thing I had an eye mask. While awake we could clearly hear the nearby church clock tower chiming each hour/half hour despite closed windows, but it did not wake us after we were asleep. We ate in the hotel restaurant - the gourmet restaurant was closed but my husband preferred the more casual grill restaurant anyway and we had good, large meals. Breakfast was a reasonable continental (no hot foods) but the selection seemed limited for a 4-star hotel. Staff were the best thing about this hotel, we were given a useful tourist package with map and information upon arrival, and the lady on reception was helpful in answering our questions.

Yes, we read all the reviews: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Alas, travel is an adventure; and pretty much you get out of it what you put into it. As a 68 year old tour leader, I found that my pack of three 50 somethings were in awe of the five night experience. We found the breakfast quite adequate. The dinner meals, al fresco, at sunset, were very good, although the menu entrees did not change for the five nights that we were there. Dining service was pleasant. The trio of maids blitzed though the rooms every morning and left them spotlessly clean. Treat yourself to the Bellagio or Tremezzo rooms at upper level for great views. We used the trail/path to "climb" to the nearby Castello di Vezio for great views and unique falconry on grounds. It's a quick but steep descent back down into Varenna by a different path exiting near the train station. Another short walk is to the short, seasonal river in the village of Fiumelatte. There is an excellent fine dining restaurant, Hosteria del Platano, at Via Statale 29. We walked all the time, except the last morning, when we used a taxi to transport our bags to the station.

Great hotel but their free parking only consist of three stalls. other than that this place is great!

I thought the that the hotel was great. But making the reservation with expedia . com was not good because I change the arrival and departure dates of my stay expedia .com had me paying for three rooms instead of two The hotel had tried to have me pay for three rooms instead of two that I ordered Ibelieve happened because I changed the dates. Fourtunately the hotel let me stay and only pay for two rooms.

Fantastic location with wonderful views over the Lake . Hotel owners are fantastic,nothing is too much trouble. The place is spotlessly clean and has a real homely feel. You do however need a car as it is about 1 mile uphill from the lake. Would highly recommend.

Hotel is at a good location 25 minutes walking distance to Como and 10 minutes walking distance Cernobbio. Lake is just 2 minutes walking distance and you can take the boat from Cernobbio. Try the Sunday brunch!

The accommodation is located in the centre of town directly above a gelati shop. The apartment is simple, clean and has a well equipped kitchen. It has been renovated recently so bathroom and kitchen are clean and everything works. The service is excellent. On arrival we were greeted by staff and showed us how to get there (can be difficult in small, lake townships), where to park etc. Home away from home.

Wonderful hotel right on lake Como. All of the staff was friendly and helpful.
