The Albergo Rusall is a wonderful hotel located in the village of Rogaro, 300 meters above Lake Como. It has great service offered by hosts Gianfranco and Luciano and their families. Rusall has beautiful views of the lake and the mountains, is quiet and offers meals in the full service and excellent restaurant/bar. The Albergo has super comfy common seating areas, a large terrace, and a new pool and tennis court. While usually accessed by car, the Albergo can be accessed from the Tremezzo boat dock, by a steep 20 min climb up the Via Delle Selve trail (right across from the boat dock).
Hiking around Rogaro is superb. There are easy short walks on "muletiere" to explore other villages, as well as epic climbs up to Monte Nava, Pillone and for the truly dedicated the 5 hr climb to the top of the Crocione. Two mid-strength popular hikes are to the San Martino chapel , and to the Cappella degli Alpini, both are great picnic spots. read more
