Honestly, the only thing not to like about this place is the pricing. But, the pricing is justified…read morebased on the establishment and offerings. You want nice, you sometimes need to pay for nice. ;) It is perfectly located at the top of the main tourist area of Bellagio. They have rooms for short-term stays and "residence" rooms for longer stays. A couple of different restaurants, both with amazing views of the lake and overlooking their pool. Very cool, smaller sized bar with a great selection of spirits. They also have their own spa for anyone needing more relaxation. If you have the funds, book yourself a room and make reservations at both restaurants. After your meals, stroll out the front gate and walk around the shops and other restaurants that make Bellagio such a magical place. Enjoy!

This place was amazing. This review is about the hotel bar and Mistral the restaurant…read more The bar - the attention was fabulous. My husband ordered a gin and tonic. They said there is an experience with it. So they sprayed aromas and added floral pieces into his drink. He said it was delicious. They brought us some aperitif to have while we ate. Mistral. Worth every penny. Every course is explained to you. Our food and fishes were delicious. They changed our napkins 3 times. They would refill our water as soon as we put it down. If I left they would put my napkin back in my lap. There were no gaps in service. Ur all flowed well. It was a few hours with the most spectacular view of Lake Como and 5 star food. If I ever return, I will definitely return.

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.

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.

Decent internet (not super fast, but fairly reliable) 6. Parking Cons: None that I can think of - I'd recommend Hotel Du Lac to everyone and will be back the next time I'm in Varenna!

Beautiful, small hotel in the quaint city-of-lovers, Varenna. Though a little bit of a walk from…read morethe main ferry drop point, this allows you to basically walk to whole coast of the city (very small, maybe a total of 10 minutes). We opted for the included breakfast which was great, as you are dining right on the waters of Lake Como, it is breathtaking. The rooms were clean, air conditioning was working and the staff was helpful with directions. While I would want to stay in another city on the lake next time (to explore more), I would stay here again if we were back in Varenna!

"VARENNA'S THE PLACE TO STAY IN LAKE COMO, AND ALBERGO MILANO'S THE PLACE TO STAY IN VARENNA!!!"…read more There's no doubt, Varenna's the place to stay while visiting Lake Como... this is a great little village that's own's the market when it comes to quaintness & charm!!! And if you're gonna stay in Varenna, the place to stay is The Albergo Milano!!! You can always tell a fabulously run property from the reviews when everyone refers to the owners by their first names... Bettina & Egidio set the bar for hospitality in the Como area... This charming little waterfront hotel will steal your heart, and take your breath away at the same time!!! Our small group of 10 friends booked way in advance to get the waterfront rooms in the main building with balconies and terraces facing the lake for four nights in mid-june... WOW!!! the views are incredible!!! I don't think you can find a better home base for your vacation anywhere in the Como area... These folks run this little hotel like a finely tuned instrument... The rooms are bright & warm, the bathrooms large and colorful... The included breakfast buffet was fabulous!!! Several juices, coffees, teas, espressos, cappuccinos, granolas, fresh cut fruits, a large assortment of meats & cheeses, poached & boiled eggs, freshly baked breads & pastries, jams, breakfast cakes, etc... There's just no way anyone would be disappointed with this spread!!! And this isn't some little breakfast room tucked away in a basement, the breakfast takes place in their brightly appointed restaurant with a wall of glass doors revealing the lake & the alps and of course on their incredible waterfront terrace... The view is so good you won't want to leave the hotel!!! And as impressive as their breakfast buffet is, dinner on the Terrace at their La Vista Ristorante surpasses it... Egidio, Bettina and their crew serve up a fixed prix dinner menu with gourmet quality foods, wines and presentations that are just incredible!!! While it seems Egidio oversees the Kitchen, Bettina runs the front desk with an incredible flare... She's knows everyone and everything in the area... She gladly made wonderful recommendations & reservations for our group's dinners at several great restaurants... she recommended an assortment of fun activities throughout the lake area, and she even went as far to arrange a fabulous boat charter for our group which was a highlight of our visit... And when Bettina & Egidio are busy, Chiara takes over the front desk with ease... she's fun, polite, professional & incredibly helpful!!! The Albergo Milano is a great value, it's wonderfully managed, has the prime location on the lake, and some of the best food you'll find on Lake Como!!! Thank You Bettina & Egidio... we'll be back!!!

The staff is the most friendly and amazing in every way. 15 out of 10!! Everything here has been amazing t the food, rooms and service. The EER SPA is one of the best I have been to in the world for hotels. The only negative is they allow kids at certain times but that's ok and can go during adult hours. But be aware of this when you come to relax and leave your own kids at home. If I had my son he would love it here and I'll bring him next time. Food was excellent. Everything we had was fresh.

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!

Had to walk to the hotel from the dock (drop off) which was good 10 minutes with luggage but no side walk and very narrow road. Not good, not to my scale, unsafe. Once at the hotel, all went well. They had to scan the passport, do the welcome drink, surprised us with bottle of champagne. Went to eat at the restaurant at the shore level. Very attentive service. For American, easily Michelin rated service. You know the kind where they come and change the plates and utensils every time you finish the dish. Also, paying attention to you at a distance (not to hover) and immediately responds. Awesomeness. Shower? Wow. It was very soothing to ise waterfall option. Not a rain shower but water fall. Stream of hot water falling from the ceiling, easily one of the highlight of this location. Forget about the weak water pressure, restricted water flow, dirty and moldy bathrooms of USA. Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton! Need to send your US people to here to learn the basic. Actually I did see 4 star rating. I m gonna check on this. Room is spacious, well appointed and comfortable.
