Very good

This hotel is amazing, great views, the family that runs this is so nice and friendly. The hotel could use a little bit of an update but honestly for the price, it cant be beat.
Great location with views of the lake. Next to ferry making it easy to go to various towns with out a car. Restaurants close by with ability to sit by the lake and enjoy views of Bellagio and ravena
Great little hotel on the lake. Old worldly but comfortable and convenient. The view across the lake was beautiful. Good breakfast. Close to get, free parking. Loved it.
One night stay as I toured the region by motorcycle.
Opted for a single room.
Room I had was for guests needing assistance or disabled. This was on third floor which I found interesting if lift is out of action for any reason. Room was a little small but bathroom was huge.
Staff were very friendly, very welcoming and very polite.
Hotel is on main road but has fabulous views of the lake. The restaurant joined on is not part of the hotel I was told but the food was very good indeed.
A nice stay and nice people to be around. Good car park and lovely views from most rooms.
This family-owned hotel was exceptionally clean. The pictures are exactly what you get. (It is time to replace the beds) The bathrooms are updated and extremely clean as are the rooms. The location was great for taking the ferries. Breakfast everyday was good. Owners were very helpful when giving advice as to where to go/eat/shop.
Quaint and historical property with beautiful views and architecture. Friendly and accommodating staff made our stay even more special. Free parking was an additional bonus! I highly recommend and I have this jewel by the lake on my list as one that I will return and stay longer. Thanks for having us!
The Hotel isn't the most luxurious high end hotel, but the amenities are just fine for a person who is traveling alone, if you are visiting Lake Como there is a 98% chance that you wont be on the hotel until night to sleep. The included breakfast is great and less than 20 meters from the hotel you have a bus stop and about 200 meters you have the Ferry Station that connects to the rest of the towns around lake como. The staff is super friendly and helpful plus they speak English. You also have a mini market less than 50 meters from the hotel where you can get the bus tickets and anything else you may need. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Great view of Lake Garda from the hotel, can see straight across to Vareena and Bellagio. Hotel is short walk from ferry stop Cadenabbia, which was great for visiting the nearby towns. Very well located.
Hotel staff were friendly and knowledgeable.
Andrea and Silvia were wonderful hosts and the other guests we met there became friends. Laid back area since many of the larger hotels failed during covid but thankfully this gem survived. Get there before the crowds overwhelm the area.
We arrived and were told that they did not have our reservation. After showing them the confirmation they decided to upgrade us. They were very helpful in telling us what to see and where to go. The place is located in a very convienent area. We enjoyed walking up and down the waterfront and having dinner. We thought that there service was top notch and a wonderful place to visit.
Incredible value on lake como, the hotel shows its age but for the price it honestly didn’t bother me at all. Restaurant served incredible food, bar outside with amazing beer, lake view was outstanding. Breakfast was included too! With a very large selection of products including fresh pastries and juices. I would happily stop again!
Simple, charming, and quiet spot in Grianfe, walkable from Tremezzo.
Lovely charm!
It took a one hour train travel by bus but we had such a good time!
Breakfast is simple but it was very nice to have it with the rate.
