There's a restaurant in the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, it overlooks Lake Como & boy is it gorgeous…read more Staff is stellar, on point & gracious. Full bar & great cocktails. Came for lunch, what a nice surprise. Ordered the grilled prawns, after checking with the wait staff that the prawns would not come with their heads on, I was assured they were cleaned thoroughly & they were, excellent. Hubby ordered the risotto with asparagus, absolutely divine. As you wait, fresh baked bread, like a puff pastry is brought out to snack on, just heavenly. No dessert - we only leave dessert for dinner, so we have to return for dinner & definitely try one of their desserts! Word to the wise, this place is pricey, yet for me given the level of service & how good the food tasted it was well worth the price. No pics, too busy enjoying the view, the food & the people watching.

I stayed at the Grand Hotel Menaggio for a week over the summer and everything about our hotel stay…read morewas great. Our room looked out over lake Como and was spacious for the 3 of us. The hotel staff were all friendly. The morning breakfast had a great assortment of eggs, meats, breads, tarts, fruits, juices, cheeses, etc. We had dinner one night at the hotel and it was delicious. This was one of the nicer meals we had in Menaggio. The hotel pool was nice but pretty cold. Surprisingly we did not enjoy pool time as much as we'd like because we were in the city and exploring the other towns around Lake Como. There is a bar inside the hotel near the pool available for any lunch items or cocktails. This hotel is right next to the ferry stop which can take you across the lake to Bellagio and Varenna. That is a major plus if you have someone who cannot walk long distances - the ferry station is right by. There is also a small grocery store right across the corner of the hotel, which can come in handy. The walk into Menaggio Centre is more like a 10 minute stroll - where there are churches, stores, restaurants, etc. The hotel concierge organized rides for us to the airport, buses into other cities and taxis for us for some local activities we booked (Italian cooking dinner via Airbnb experiences). Overall, this hotel was beautiful and our stay was wonderful. Highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a great hotel in Menaggio.

Went up the stairs, but all of the seats were filled with people or their bags and backpacks. Since it was a short 10-15 minute ride across Lake Como, we just stood and enjoyed the view until our guide let us know that it was time to leave the ferry.

Absolutely amazing stay at Hotel Belvedere Bellagio during our honeymoon!…read more Upon our arrival at the hotel, we were greeted by wonderful and extremely nice staff. Complementary beverage while checking in and awaiting bags to be delivered to our room. Our room had a wonderful view and was nice and spacious. We loved the amenities the hotel had to offer. Outside the pool area is wonderful with a breathtaking view of the lake. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub and used it daily. We also enjoyed lunch by the pool and many spritz's from the pool bar. Be warned, the pool is not heated if you are there in the spring time! The staff were so nice and always greeted us when we returned the next day. The spa is also incredible, with many free to use experiences such as an ice room, salt room, sauna and more! We also loved breakfast every morning at the hotel with the incredible view. Another wonderful part of this hotel is the location. It is less than a 10 minute walk down to the city center and I would prefer to stay here for the view over a hotel near the lake in town. I hope to return to Bellagio again and I will stay at Hotel Belvedere again!

After traveling to 80 countries and all seven continents over the past five decades, our 2023 stay…read moreat Hotel Belvedere on Lake Como made it very clear that this is now our favorite hotel in the world! Don't let the four stars deceive you, because this is a five-star accommodation all the way! The views of Lake Como are stunning on the eastern slope of this unnamed peninsula that pierces the lake like an arrow, especially from the outdoor deck above the pool. The rooms are so elegant and modern, the rain showers are huge, and the views from our massive patio in the Junior Suite were breathtaking. Cascading down the hill on the hotel property are numerous plateaus of well manicured lawns, sculpted bushes, and beautiful flowers. You're in close proximity to the action of bustling downtown Bellagio, but secluded just far enough for total peace and quiet at the hotel. Situated in the shadow of a hill just to the north owned by The Rockefeller Foundation, with the mountainous terrain as a buffer between the town center and this lovely property, the serenity makes you feel far from the city that's a mere 5-minute walk away. It is the optimal location in Bellagio! The spa is extensive, a facility at which we took full advantage of a thorough, hour-long massage that vastly improves circulation. The staff is incredibly courteous and well trained. But it's many of the little things they do at Hotel Belvedere that make it such a great place to stay. To offer several examples, the luxurious array of body washes and lotions are noteworthy, the larger trashcans without lids uncommon in most hotel rooms are much easier to navigate, the breakfast is one of the best we've ever had, and the room service food is so good you might want to have your nightly dinners in your room. While breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m., we had to depart at 7:00 on the final morning to catch a ferry. So the staff composed four takeout boxes for the two of us with a wonderful selection of breakfast foods. It was kindness that goes above and beyond. Of our 46 years of international travel, this is the ultimate hotel for us!

English review (Io non parlo Italiano)…read more We stayed at La Perla for the first leg of our honeymoon - the staff are extremely friendly, the lake view is fantastic and the rooms were decent, comfortable and clean. The breakfast is the usual continental fare, but the view from the balcony makes up for the lack of options :) Warning: walking, lots of walking! The walk to Tremezzo proper is quite a challenge both uphill and downhill (especially back up!). The shuttle only runs a couple of times a day in the morning and in the evening, so walking is the only option most of the time if you want to have a drink, or if you don't have a car. It's about 15 minutes downhill and at least 20 minutes uphill. Food in the hotel is what is referred to as a "snack bar" in Italy and is very basic pasta/panini - nothing very inspiring here, so unless you are taking it very easy you will want to go down to the town to eat. There is a pizzeria a little closer (less than halfway) - Pizzeria Balognett - and the pizza there is excellent, the best I had on our trip to be honest. In Tremezzo the one restaurant that sticks out in my mind is La Darsenna, though the little wine bar (Cantina Follie) was also very pleasant for an after dinner drink on their terrace - the Amarone is worth the extra couple of euro per glass :) Overall, I would recommend La Perla if you are looking for some good views, peace and quiet, and don't mind the walking. Be sure and have a car to get to and from there as well as giving you the extra freedom for trips elsewhere. Also, be sure to pop up to Menaggio and rent a boat (under 40 HP = no license required) - it's expensive but really worth a go for a couple of hours to see the lake properly.

This is also the spot with the popular lake como gate photo opt. Always a line but it wasn't too bad and moved quick enough.

Service and staff were amazing and so kind!

We didn't stay at the hotel but we came to visit beautiful Gardens…read more If you want to see Villa Cipressi garden it's 8eur pp. Varenna also has Villa Monastero - admission to its garden for a fee. We choose Villa Cipressi because it was closer. It was very gorgeous, we took plenty of photos, enjoyed beautiful lake view seating in a nice shade. Walk from ferry its very simple but its uphill so bring water with you. We went in September and still it was very hot and sunny. There is not so much shade there either. Also you can hike to Castello di Vezio to get beautiful view of the village but be aware it's very steep. It takes around 40 minutes. Also while walking you will see beautiful narrow streets, water views , little church and small stores & restaurants. After that we hoped on other ferry to go to Menaggio. You can visit all of these places within a 1 day like we did.
