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!

Our room is very clean with fresh linens and filled with all the supplies that we need. They also gave us complimentary water bottles, coffee, and some snacks. The best part was eating breakfast while watching the sun rise from their panoramic windows at their restaurant. Very peaceful and pleasant to sit down and eat or drink at their bar and take pictures outside. Their service was excellent and staff were very friendly and everyone I met there were kind, helpful, and fulfilled all our needs and questions. Very nice place to stay on Varenna. Highly highly recommend this hotel!

The location and view from here is jaw dropping. The hotel also has a private van you can shuttle from the hotel to Bellagio for free, just have to book your times in their available slots before hand. The breakfast buffet is amazing and their cappuccino is the best we had during our whole trip. We also ate dinner here one night and it was amazing! Highly recommend and will be back next time we visit!

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. I'd recommend having a drink to enjoy the view, but the food was nothing special wouldn't have more than snacks. Pizza wasn't good, felt like it was frozen pizza but the milenesa was good. 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.

We just stayed here last month and were delighted with the apartment, great situation just off the…read moremain road through Bellagio but quietly positioned. The owners have a few properties and a restaurant which is also great. We had enquired about a studio apartment originally as just two of us but were offered Rosa dei Venti for the same price since the studios weren't available for our dates. Rosa dei Venti is a big apartment and would be more than comfortable for up to 6 people. We had a large double bedroom with huge wardrobes, such a change from staying at places with nowhere to put your clothes! The bathroom was fabulous, big bath and a separate shower cubicle plus a bidet-everything you could ever need. We only stayed 3 nights but it's definitely a place to stay for longer visits, the kitchen is fully fitted so great for cooking and has washing machine and even a dishwasher. There is a slightly limited view of the lake but lovely view over the church tower from the lounge and balcony. Fantastic service by the staff, super friendly and helpful for everything.

My fish was under cooked and I was given wrong silverware with my main course. Unacceptable at this price point.

This is a review of the restaurant…read more We loved this. We came for lunch and sat by the water, and while we were disappointed that they didn't have pizza for lunch, we ended up with some excellent pastas -- a basically perfect edition of linguine with clams, and a paccheri with fish sauce and pistachios that was just excellent. Their prosciutto with melon was also amazing, and we really liked the bruschetta as well. Our three-year-old also loved their penne with tomato sauce. Definitely would love to come back here (especially for dinner to try the pizza) on our next trip.

We were eager to find a breakfast spot, and Hotel Aurora was the closest option to where the bus dropped us off. The waterfront outdoor patio has a very charming atmosphere with nice decor and beautiful views. We received very friendly and quick service, and enjoyed a small breakfast of bread, butter, jam, omelette, cappuccino, and fresh juice. Simple but exactly what we needed to fuel our busy day! The interior bar area was just as nice, and while I can't personally speak to any of the accommodations I would highly recommend this location as a place to stay. It's a great midpoint between Como and Bellagio and has frequent public transportation.
