My stay was unforgettable with stunning views of Lake Como and a warm atmosphere that truly made me feel at home. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, offering an incredible view, but I did experience some issues with the cleanliness of the bathroom and old furniture creaking. Dining was a highlight, though the dinner menu could use more variety. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel for its beautiful location and exceptional breakfast.

I had a lovely stay at this historical hotel perched on a mountain with stunning views over Lake Como. The atmosphere was charming and cozy, perfect for a romantic getaway. While I enjoyed the quality of the dining and the breakfast was outstanding, I did experience a few drawbacks such as a creaky bed and some noise during the night. Overall, it's a unique place with character, though the shower cleanliness could use some attention.
