Superb view from the main balcony where we have the breakfast. The staff were helpful and friendly. The room we had was big, clean and comfortable. The location for us was great because it is located in between the major spots (Bellagio, Como Town) and there is a near ferry station to the other side of the lake. Great experience overall.

“Incrível!!!!”
The hotel was amazing, from the staff to the facilities. The hotel is very new, the breakfast was very complete, and the view over the lake was beautiful. There is great parking available, and the hotel restaurant itself is also really, really good!

“Perfect location - perfect hotel - perfect staff.”
Friendly and helpful staff, they shared the local knowledge to ensure we made the most of our stay on Lake Como. Thanks to their suggestion to get a car ferry from Bellagio to Varenna, we saved four hours on our onward journey to Florence.

“We would go back here!”
Everything! To start the staff were super helpful with any requirements and also pointed out the must do’s of the area and the town. Also explained how to move around (bus and ferries). The view of the lake, oh the view will stay with us! Very clean and comfortable room.

“Good hotel with private car park and wonderful views over como lake, but make a pass on the breakfast.”
Stylish hotel, good size room, comfy bed, very good location with great views to como lake from restaurant and lobby bar. Private parking which is big bonus around there. Bus stop 1 minute and the Lezzeno port for the ferries is 10 minutes walk. Friendly staff. We have enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back if going to Como lake again!

“A perfect place to base yourself for exploring Lake Como.”
Gorgeous outlook and location. My husband was suffering from a twisted foot and the staff were thoughtful and helpful. We ate in the restaurant and the food was excellent. I caught the bus into Bellagio which was easy and convenient. There is an interesting lakeside walk.

“A lovely relaxing hotel in an amazing location”
Location is superb. We had a room with a balcony overlooking Lake Como and its stunningly scenic surroundings. Such a relaxing place to stay. Staff are all friendly and helpful and the food in the restaurant was delicious.

“Gem on Lake Como!!”
The view ftom our balcony was breathtaking and the air conditioning was a godsend in 34 degs. We parked our 5 MG Tfs in the car park and used the bus and boats (both very near by) to travel around. We ate in the restaurant on all 3 nights and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming or helpful. We used the private steps from the hotel to swim in the lake and had drinks and breakfast on the terrace. All in all, a gem of a find!!

“Brilliant hotel with friendly staff and great view. We can't fault it.”
This hotel is away from the tourist hussle and bussle but just a short boat ride or bus ride from it if you want to taste it in small doses. The view of the lake from the hotel is spectacular. There is also a terrific resteraunt downstairs which we liked so much, we ate there every night. We took our small dog and I can confirm the venue is very dog friendly. There is a lovely terrace where you can order drinks and just watch the lake. There are free public beaches nearby. I terms of trips, we were a bit disapointed with Varenna and Como. Too touristy without much beyond bars and resteraunts. Bellagio is very touristy but there are more shops etc... However, Lenno was less than 15 minutes away on the boat and we loved it. Not loads to do but good for a few hours and it has a nice vibe and a terrific ice cream shop. Also a proper souvenir shop. The hotel can sell you the bus tickets. Our dog developed a liking for carpaccio in Italy and fortunately there was a butchers 2 doors away. Also a small supermarket next door. The room has a fridge and good air conditioning. Can't fault it and we hope to return soon.
