Italian Lakes Romantic Vacations

We arrived at 10:30 am and our room was not ready for check in . The concierge could have offered us a complimentary coffee and pastry but decided to include it in our final bill. The hotel was also not in an ideal location and was in more an incline position and 20 minute walk from the center. Walking to the center was also dangerous due to the cars coming from corners and there was little space In the sidewalks and in some roads, no sidewalks at all. The room and cleanliness was great but staff-friendliness and location of the hotel wasn’t so good.

The decor and location are very good, but the gym is quite bad as it doesn’t even have dumbbells.

The staff were wonderful. The hotel used to be a private villa, and there are interesting parts which were saved from this times. This hotel is a brisk 25 minute walk from the main ferry station in Como. We loved the pathway along the lake, but would not have walked it after dark. Taxis are easy and not expensive to the main ferry port. We enjoyed visiting several towns on the lake. The hotel sits a little away from the town of Como, which is nice. The breakfasts were fabulous. The outside dining has wonderful views from several areas. We were glad of our location, as we were flying out of Milan, and being there made getting to the train station much easier than if we had been higher up on the lake.
