LUGANODANTE Boutique & Lifestyle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel with excellent breakfast. Being right next to the funicular was very convenient!! Excellent location, close to shopping, restaurants, and the lake."

Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect with this hotel, the standards are very high and the staff also present themselves in a respectful and mature manner, staying here was a pleasure and having everything so close clime Ferry’s , tickets booths to boats and bars right outside the doorstep was a bonus. I would highly recommend anyone who wishes to visit Lake Como and have an operating base to use Palace hotel as the service was exceptional."

Kurhaus Cademario Hotel & SPA

8/10 Good

"The hotel and restaurant was extremely nice. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The view of Lake Laguna is amazing. If you’re going there to “stay”, it’s perfect. However, I’m not sure why this property shows on Expedia when searching for hotels around Lake Como. The property is about 35 miles from Como city and the last six (6) miles are treacherous. The roads are narrow and a number of switchback turns on the section of roads. The road makes traveling in the area difficult. I can’t imagine the road during winter months."

Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni

8/10 Good

"We stayed here for four nights —-booked two rooms for our family. Some of the highlights include: 1) great, fantastic location which is short walking distance to ferry, shops and restaurants. 2) we enjoyed the breakfast buffet, and beautiful swimming pool every day. 3) super comfortable beds and well air conditioned rooms. 4) staffs at the breakfast, pool and concierge are super attentive, warm and helpful. The concierge booked a private boat tour for us and provided useful advices on day trips and ferry schedules. The only and the biggest low light was that the casual restaurant (La Goletta) was super disappointing. The food was boring, plain, and poorly prepared . The restaurant waiters were cold and stern. Given the price, the restaurant felt way below our expectation. Recommend to stay at the hotel but eat elsewhere."
