Food was excellent, staff and service were amazing, and views were incredible. As was mentioned in previous reviews, plan to arrive via water taxi, car transfer or float plane.

Wow. Everything about this property exceeded my expectations. Starting with the staff and service -…read moreworld class. Attention to detail is embodied here. So many things were thought of that I'd never consider. As simple as leaving a glass cleaner cloth on my nightstand to accompany the sunglasses that I left out. Different chocolates at turn down service each night. Making sure the mini bar was always stocked. Complimentary champagne upon arrival. Speedy laundry service. Attentive restaurant staff. Inventive, tasty, and beautiful meals at the restaurant. Fantastic cappuccinos (and with nut milks available). Never leaving a glass empty. Always something available to drink or snack on. As far as decor- mid century modern posh. Even though this hotel is now a few years old- you wouldn't know it because of how well they maintain everything. Brown woods and green accents were so pleasing to the eye and created a cozy hip aesthetic despite its modernity and clean lines. Location is perfect for rest. Torno is not a town with crowds shoulder to shoulder. You have room to breathe, to have some privacy, and to truly rest. But it is not sleepy. Hotel set us up with a wonderful and challenging hike, as well as a beautiful boat tour of part of Lake Como. The ferry is also not far away if you are looking to visit one of the other busier parts of Como. Any need or question we had, the Il Sereno staff strived to fulfill. I visited during my birthday and felt so very special every day I spent here. I couldn't think of a more enjoyable experience and I couldn't recommend this enough.

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.

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 was our first visit here. There were many great aspects to this hotel but unfortunately, many…read morepoor interactions as well. At check-in, the staff on the lobby floor were all very helpful and friendly. The room was also very spacious and clean which was great. Modern finishes and updated compared to other options in the area. Views from the room we had were also very nice, especially at sunset. It was great for our family that this room we booked had 2 bathrooms and a pullout bed, though the pullout bed was very hard and not very comfortable. We appreciated some of the complimentary gifts provided due to our Hilton status. Where the service slipped, was at the pool and rooftop area. On our second to last day, 2 of us decided to head to the pool around 3pm. It was busy and there were not any spots to sit/lay down. Many chairs had towels and belongings left on them where people had either left to go into the pool or left to their room to come back later or potentially not at all. We waited for some assistance near the bar area and eventually, some other guests arrived, trying to scope out spots as well. After about 15 minutes, I approached one of the guys walking around and asked if there were any spots available. He talked with one of his partners and they walked around a bit and said everything is taken (no kidding). I asked if any of the spots were just towels people left and they were done for the day and he claimed it's impossible to know. He then said to wait off to the side and he'd get us a chair to place our things so we could go in the pool. We stood off to the side (in the hot sun) for about 20 min and he never brought us the chair. We watched him walk around doing other things avoiding eye contact with us. Yet, his colleague helped another couple who arrived after us get a spot. We decided enough is enough and left. The staff need to do a much better job cleaning spots off when people leave and actually follow-through on their work. Additionally, there should be time limits so that someone cannot claim a lounge chair in the morning and use it all day long so that no one else can use the pool. There's limited space to begin with so something should be done. Additionally, the pool closed at 6PM which I think is very early and pretty unreasonable. I'm assuming this is because they do not want the noise or inconvenience for their restaurant but still. The restaurant is a whole other experience, but overall, poor food quality, slow, and overpriced. Overall, if visiting Como again, I would likely choose another place to stay as this location could use some improvements to quality of service and overall value when looking at your nightly price.

Highly Recommend! This place is amazing…read more Great service and the hotel was very nice and organized with good ambiance. Service was excellent. Staff were very nice and helpful. 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.

It's still the off season so it was quiet and fantastic. I booked using Amex FHR and the hotel graciously upgraded our room to a junior suite. We were celebrating my husband's bday and they left a bottle of prosecco in the room as well. The concierge and front desk team were really responsive via email leading up to our stay. They helped me book an agriturismo for lunch, as well as some spa appointments. The service is just astoundingly good. Andrea at the ristorante was a joy! The gentleman who works at the bar with glasses and the gentleman who just moved back to Italy from Canada were also lovely! The boutique is SO cute and shockingly reasonable. The woman who works here was very helpful in finding the right sizes and colors. The spa is out of the world. If you're not staying at the hotel, I recommend booking a treatment or buying a day pass to experience it. It's so gorgeous and absolutely massive. We loved the hot and cold pools and showers. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and meticulously kept after. The views of the Lake are beautiful and best enjoyed from the hotel's front lawn. The hotel is, of course, quite expensive, but you get what you pay for! The staff here don't miss a beat and our stay was full of little, meaningful surprises. It really is such a special place!

The junior suite screams luxury with the finishes and bedding and the spa is so relaxing. There was no one here for 90% of my 90 minutes and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Surprised to see mediocre reviews…read more Sheraton is a gorgeous property, well-situated and very comfortable. I loved the spacious room, large comfortable bed and air conditioning that actually worked - the room got nice and cold! Many rooms I've stayed in across Italy are small, HVAC is ineffective and beds are like futons - the Sheraton delivered on all counts, no issues. I spent an afternoon by the pool which was delightful (I did not have a swimsuit, so did not go in the pool.) Lunch at the restaurant by the pool was great - food quality and service were top-notch. Next time I'm in the Como area, the Sheraton has my attention and will likely be where I stay (loved the grocery store nearby too!) 5 stars

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.
