If you look for very refined italian cuisine this is the place to go. The Food and service is absolutely fantastic. The location is north of the Lake Come beside a small lake. It is the perfect place to chill from the busy roads beside the lake Como. Ravioli's , AntiPasti Fish dishes were all exceptional for a very reasonable price. A GO FOR for FOODIES

A hotel with a reasonable price. We got two double rooms for 200 euros. It has good and fresh food, friendly local staff. It's not luxury, but considering the price and the view of the rooms, I think if I want to go around Lake Como I will get a room and come here again. You must have a car because it is far from Como. Overall, I recommend it

Incredible cuisine, I came here 40 jears ago for the First time and it was Fabulous. And even now it is still Fabulous with the new owners. I had the time of my life and spoke with everyone there, They also where flabbergasted with the cooking results.

A warm cozy hotel. Offers delicious Italian food. Breakfast was free, great and super fresh! Since the hotel was small, they don't offer a buffet, but you could order basically anyth (coffee, tea, scrambled eggs, cheese, cake , juice .... - ALL INCLUDED) Although the staff didn't speak English, they were super friendly And helpful. Internet speed is acceptable. Dog friendly Enjoy your stay

I had a wonderful time here. I happened to be here by chance and in the end I decided to add another day to my stay! It is a small family-run business and the people are very nice and welcoming, so you can enjoy a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. They serve you a rich breakfast and you can even have home-made cake, if you are lucky. My room, a single one, was a bit small since I also had a small dog with me, so a little more space would have helped. Fortunately, there was a big common balcony where I could sit together with my dog and enjoy the view. The place is isolated, so very quiet and peaceful and it's just by the lake and very close to some interesting walks with stunning views over the lake and Sorico. The locals there, being a small place, are all very friendly, talkative and helpful, in case of need. Even the dinner plates are rich, their speciality being "fresh fish". I don't know if they serve plant-based or gluten-free food, though. All in all, I recommend this hotel and area.

Very quiet place for nature-lovers, simple small room, a bit cold in freezing temperatures outside, exceptionally friendly staff, good breakfast (fruit would be nice), spacious bed. There is a restaurant and a bar in the house, personal, familiar, nice. Good food, high prices but worth it.
