One of the best outlets that I have ever been in my life. We came here from Lugano by train it's…read moreonly 20 minutes. They have big brands like Gucci, Prada, Versace, D&G, La perla BUT not all of them are "outlets". For example LA perla had only 2 bras for sale rest were regular collection. Same with Gucci half of their boutique it's a new collection. I highly recommend PRADA they have good jackets and shoes. Also cosmetics store is very good I managed to find good deal for Valmont products. We managed to find a very nice trousers for my husband at DG. Also many other cute stores like Pinko, Flavio Castellani and etc. NOTE- If you want to do VAT refund be aware that they don't do it in other European countries since Swiss is not a Europe. We went to VAT refund and guy lied to us at the cashier even after hearing we will fly out from Malpensa back to US. He still fill the paper and took 5eur commission for each of us. When I was flying from Malpensa they weren't able to stamp it. and of course in few week my card was charged back for cash he gave me in FOX TOWN VAT refund. Also I don't know how they calculate but amount is always less because of their extra fees! ALSO good tip make sure you will eat before 2 pm otherwise everything will be closed! We weren't aware of that even shopping malls that "ridiculous food hours" We got lucky to find some chicken place that one only was available.

We come here once a year, usually after a vacation in Italy. When it started many years ago, this…read moreoutlet mall was pretty empty and deserted, not having many deals. But boy did it change over the years. Now it's a place we really wouldn't wanna miss. There are the usual big brands, but they do have heavy discounts. You gotta get lucky though and bring enough time with. Sometimes we hoped for some nice clothes of a certain brand, but ended up emtpy-handed. But then again you can find some good stuff at another brand. We really enjoy the "Gant" and the "Ralph Lauren / Polo" shops a lot. Great shirts and sweaters for fall and spring. But also heavy sweaters from Gant for the really cold season. Usually around 40 CHF (instead of 140 CHF in regular stores). They really have heavy discounts, but not big amounts of clothes. You gotta be quick and lucky that day. Also Tommy Hilfiger has some good stuff sometimes. But alone for these two, three brands it's really worth a visit. You'll spend a lot, but save even more. And the quality is high. I wear them for years and the colors do not wash out nor do the clothes wear out. This place here gets most of my money of my yearly clothing budget. Highly recommended! If there's a downside, it's the fact that dogs are not allowed. Which is unusal for Switzerland. Not in the stores I would understand, but you can't even get inside the building with them. Too bad.

I wasn't going to review Borgo Le Terrazze due to selfishness, however I feel that the rooms, the…read moreviews and the service cannot go without an outstanding review. The rooms looking on to the lake provide some of the best views in Bellagio, going in late March we missed the crowds. The team were more than happy to help and the shuttle in to Bellagio was a handy bonus. At breakfast there was a good selection of warm and cold food, suggest paying the €7 upfront and starting the day of right! Definitely a place I'll come back to stay at!

+ Location Without a doubt the Borgo Le Terrazze is the…read moreplace to be when in Bellagio, especially if you prefer to travel off the beaten path! While the crowds are squeezing themselves through the narrow alleys in Bellagio and stay in the many typical Italian hotels, the Borgo is the perfect hideaway. From the rooms, patios, balconies and pool area you are overlooking Lake Como with Cadennabia, Menaggio, and Varenna in the far and Bellagio with its Villa Melzi below. The view is stunning and priceless! + Rooms The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated in a sleek, contemporary but cozy design that is implemented throughout the whole hotel. The bathrooms are equipped with a walk-in shower including an overhead rain showerhead, which wants to make you shower forever. Some rooms come with a small kitchenette where you either can prepare a warm dinner or take advantage of the equipment to enjoy fresh cut meat and cheese from a 'salumeria' in the evening. The only thing that bothered me was the preset room temperature. We had some cold and rainy nights and the preset 20 degrees Celsius (68 Fahrenheit) let me shiver. The preset temperature was explained by the lake region's environmental requirements. However, what happens in winter? + Service I don't get the complaints of other travelers about the staff. We met super friendly, obliging employees that always took the time for a chat and made the farewell even harder. But as they say: We reap what we sow - and some guests were quite unfriendly! Some staff speaks English, German, and French besides Italian. + Others The complimentary shuttle to Bellagio is super convenient in particular because the road from/to Como can be a nightmare if you are not used to 'one-lane' travel in both directions or Italian driving habits in general. Moreover there is a nice off-the-beaten-path hike from the hotel over Villa Melzi to Bellagio I highly can recommend. Just make sure you wear sturdy shoes since the decline over the mossy cobblestone steps can be tricky! The breakfast is outstanding! Originally we planned to have breakfast once but were caught after the first morning! From pastries, over fruit salad, eggs (boiled, scrambled, and omelets), yoghurt, bread and rolls, jam, cream cheese, regular cheese, cut meat etc. you are spoiled with choice. Plus the fresh brewed coffee specialties are addicting. In summary the EUR 10 per person are well spent! FYI - the American 'Café Latte' is called 'Latte Macchiato' in Italy (a fellow traveler was devastated when she ordered café latte and received coffee with a separate can of milk...) Overall the Borgo Le Terrazze is the place to be at Lake Como and I will never stay somewhere else again in this region! +outstanding contemporary location, + stunning views over Lake Como, + wonderful service + superb breakfast Average rate: EUR 145-180 per night. Breakfast; EUR 10 Parking: complimentary Bellagio Shuttle: complimentary Credit cards accepted.
