"Grand Hotel Menaggio — Stunning Views and Exceptional Breakfast, but Rooms Need Updating
Grand Hotel Menaggio is a beautiful hotel with spectacular lake views and outstanding service. The breakfast was hands down the best of our entire two-week trip through Italy! The variety, quality, presentation, and attentive staff were absolutely exceptional.
Unfortunately, the rooms didn’t quite live up to the rest of the experience. We stayed in a Junior Suite, which was certainly not one of the least expensive options, and expected more for the price. The beds, furniture, and decor felt outdated. Even the bathroom, although seemingly renovated, still had a tired appearance that made the room feel less fresh and inviting.
Our balcony offered breathtaking views of Lake Como, which we absolutely loved. However, as beautiful as the scenery was, it didn’t fully compensate for the condition of the room.
Overall, the hotel has so much going for it: stunning views, excellent hospitality, and an unforgettable breakfast. With some much-needed room updates, it could be truly exceptional. A lovely experience, but the accommodations need to better reflect the price."
"First of all, the staff at Il Perlo Panorma is exceptional. They were so accommodating and helpful throughout our stay. We arrived and had booked the Basic Room. It was ok, but since it was our 20 th anniversary, we asked about upgrading the room. The Junior Suite was available. They handle our room switch while we were away, moved our luggage and the Suite was amazing. We literally didn't want to leave the room. It had a huge balcony with stunning views of Bellagio and the lake, wonderful amenities, smart lighting to make it extra cozy, robes and slippers. It was the best upgrade. For those wanting to know about the shuttle service, they dropped off and picked up regularly and were also so accommodating with fast communication. I would highly suggest staying here. The restaurant was also delicious. Thank you for everything and making our stay so enjoyable."
