This review is for the restaurant Veranda as we did not stay in the Villa d'Este hotel…read more We came here for dinner on Friday night along with two other couples. Upon arrival we were told that the men needed to be wearing jackets. I wish that our hotel had told us because my husband had packed one, but luckily the restaurant keeps spare jackets on site for just this situation. The large dining room is incredibly old school with beautiful brass dining chairs laden in blue and yellow striped fabric. When they brought out the wine list I thought it was a joke because it was the size of a dictionary! For dinner I had the beet tartare and the veal filet. The soy marinated tofu was a little bit of an odd flavor combined the beet dish but besides that it was quite good. My husband started with the gnocchi and it may have been the best dish of the night, it was dynamite. In my opinion, my veal filet was better than my husbands beef filet and I also really enjoyed the petite eggplant parmigiana that came with it. Soufflé and ice creams for dessert were a big hit, but I was especially pleased because I asked if they had some dark chocolates off menu and they brought me out a beautiful assortment that tasted as good as they looked. Great restaurant if you are looking for an elegant evening out on the town or an excuse to use the dinner jacket that you packed but thought you wouldn't need.

The reception staff were all professional, polished but extremely friendly and happy to accommodate any requests that I had. The breakfast serving staff were attentive and paid attention to every little detail. My room rate included breakfast - every single dish was impeccably prepared and presented in the morning buffet. My room was superb - a breathtaking view of the lake and a beautiful room (and an extremely comfortable bed). The entire property was gorgeous beyond words. We were at Lake Como for my son's wedding. The bride and groom stayed in the 2bd/2ba Villa. The views and the entire space was beautiful. The entire property is extremely well maintained with impeccable attention to every detail. I cannot say enough about the overall wonderful experience we had at Villa Flori. If I could give then 10 stars I certainly would! The location and everything about Villa Flori are what dreams are made of!

The food and beverage staff was less than motivated as the billing system does not permit tipping and when I offered cash some sparked and others were worried about accepting a gratuity? Overall adequate food quality (but for the worst breakfast croissant in all of Europe) and acceptable wine and liquor selection. The signature resturant was solid and professional. My wife and family insisted on 4 stars Tarzan said 3.5

I went with my girlfriend and another friend that decided to come at the last minute. The staff, was incredibly accommodating and gave us a suite that could take in all of us. As a bonus the suite had an amazing balcony overlooking lake Como which literally stopped me in my tracks every time I walked past it. The only down side was that the price for everything extra was commensurate with the initial price of the hotel. All in all though, an amazing place and would absolutely recommend it to friends and family.

We were looking for some rest and relaxation, ideally in a beautiful setting with good food. This hotel absolutely delivered. We had a suite facing the lake with a large balcony. The suite and the balcony were both excellently appointed, and quite large. The bed was very comfortable. The couch, bureau, desk and chairs were all in excellent condition. The room itself was beautiful, with era appropriate design. The balcony was excellent, comfortable and quite large. There were two outdoor lounge chairs, and a table with two chairs. With all of that, there was still enough room left on the balcony for my morning workout. The grounds are beautiful. And the hotel continues its use of greenery on the balconies to separate areas for each suite. All done tastefully and the plants are all in very good condition. The breakfast buffet is fantastic. An assortment of croissants, made to order omelets, cereal, yoghurts, fruit, excellent cheeses, meats . . . It goes on and on. The staff were quite lovely and extremely helpful. In truth, I was prepared for a bit of pushback when my wife and I showed up - we are gay. Not even a blink of an eye from anyone. Unfortunately, these days that is a welcome relief. And the spa - out of this world! Massages, lovely jacuzzi/hot tub, Finnish sauna, Turkish bath and more. If you are a guest the hotel there is a small fee for the use of the spa. The pool is lovely. It sits right next to lake Como. Jumping in was easy, if you have the stamina for cold water. There is a small cafe at the pool with food and drinks. The staff brings your order out to wherever you are sitting. The village of Maltrasio is filled with beauty and lovely people. The hotel is on the shore and the village goes up the hill. The walk to the village is short, but a bit steep. All in all this is a lovely place to come if you want beauty, relaxation, good food and kind people.

The only good thing about this hotel is the beautiful restaurant and breakfast…read more I'm racking my brain trying to figure out how this is a luxury hotel. Our room was 105 which is one of two rooms on the first floor. It felt like a dungeon, with barely a view of the entrance parking lot. There was not one moment of silence. The staff "hallway/bathroom??" Is located behind a door next to these two rooms and all night you hear footsteps, toilet flushing, door slamming, chatter, and whatever they roll down the hall. You can hear every street noise and the music from the bar/restaurant late into the night. The the thermostat did not turn on at all which we were told was "controlled by Como" and not the hotel but what resulted was fluctuations between hot and cold with no benefit of ambient noise from a fan. Maybe other guests had a better experience because they weren't banned to the dungeon rooms of the first floor. For as much as we paid to stay in this hotel we should have been afforded the opportunity to enjoy it and have a restful night sleep. The worst two nights I have ever experienced in a hotel. If you stay here and they put you in room 104 or 105 I would highly suggest requesting a new room immediately (but good luck that they will accommodate).

The music did stop, but what they didn't tell me was, I would have to listen to the chairs and tables being broken down and loaded in trucks right outside my window for another hour and a half. but the absolute kicker was, We sent out a small bag of laundry to be done without asking the price, when we checked out they presented us a bill for 180.00 dollars, hell, I could have bought a used washer and dryer for that amount. I had laundry done in other city's at a cost of 40.00 dollars. never again.
