Beautifuly decorated and quaint hotel with lovely access to the evening garden terrace to enjoy a cocktail or glass of wine. Hotel has an authentic, Italian ambiance and was about a 7-minute walk from the train station and about a 10-15 minute walk to Lake Como - perfect for meandering the streets of Como and taking in their historical architecture. Ilenia, the hotel manager, went out of her way to assist our small group of four was very accommodating. She even booked our dinner reservations to the Gazzetto Osteria a couple of doors down. (Highly recommend their house red wine as well as the Focaccia bread for an appetizer and either the Ravioli or the Gnocchetti - delizioso! We ate there two nights in a row!)
Continental breakfast was elegantly provided and, once again, the hotel provided more than what we as Americans culturally understand as "continental breakfast" (only a few pieces of fruit and pastries). We had a wide selection of Italian delicious Italian pastries, fruit that was whole or freshly cut and presented well, selection of cheeses, meats, yogurts and various spreads; freshly made hard-boiled eggs and toast available as self-serve, too. Fresh espresso, cappuccino, latte or macchiato available to order as part of the breakfast as well.
