What an Incredible place! The hotel is in a gorgeous location, right on the lake and within a 5 minutes walk from the ferry. The room was spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. Our hosts were so nice, welcoming and helpful in giving us tips on how to explore the area and Milan. Thank you so much for such a memorable experience! Hope to be back soon!

Very nice people at the front desk. However, after check-out, we were told that we could park in their lot for free while we spent the afternoon in Bellagio. We came back to Bellagio and they decided to change their policy by saying we had parked for too long (total time spent in Bellagio were 7 hours, including transport time). They decided, without my consent, to charge my credit card for $24.

Great property, with underground car parking, pool, air-con etc. Well placed with an easy walk to reasonably priced restaurants, and a short walk to either the passenger ferry around the lake or the passenger/car ferry to Bellagio (well worth the visit, but expect a food price hike). Tip: Don't forget your Italian plug adaptors (rooms do not have normal "European" sockets).

Excellent service & location, but overpriced
Excellent service, great location on the lake, underground parking. However, I think that, like everything on lake Como, it is a bit overpriced for what you get. For that price I would expect better breakfast, better shower, light-blocking blinds and better toiletries. To be clear, none of these are bad, just you would expect better for the price.

Paolo, the owner/manager of this family run place was great-very helpful in every regard. The room was a nice size, I did look at the room facing the lake which was beautiful. I thought that the bed was too hard, and he put extra blankets underneath it to help soften it. The breakfast was delighted and he served it to the table. It was a great location near the middle of the lake right near the ferry & Villa Carlotta. we have friends staying here in June when I sure you can use the pool at the of the property.

Wonderful choice!
This hotel is located in a great location which is within a short walk to a ferry to Bellagio. The room was comfortable in the bathroom was spacious. Paolo was charming, helpful and kind. The grounds were well-maintained and offered great views of Bellagio and other towns across the lake. Breakfast was lovely as we sat in a room of windows with great views of surrounding mountains. I highly recommend this hotel and WILL come back to stay again

Really lovely hotel in old, well kept villa
We booked a lake-view room at Villa La Mirabella as part of a driving holiday through four European countries. It was the best hotel we stayed in during the trip. Lovely spacious lake-view room with air-conditioning & balcony. We really enjoyed the swimming pool after a warm day's sightseeing. Lovely surroundings, good breakfast and welcoming management / staff. Free parking as well!

Wonderful stay! A Perfect Villa.
We loved our stay with Paolo and his family at Villa Mirabella! They were so friendly and welcoming from the minute we walked in the door. The Villa itself is beautiful, historic and grand with lovely common spaces, it truly feels like home. We had a room to the back of the house with views across the garden. It was very quiet and peaceful. The view from the pool and the dining room is just breathtaking. The Villa is very well located, a short walk to Villa Carlotta as well as within very close walking distance to two ferry stops as well as the sweet tourist train. It served as a perfect base for our 4 day trip to Lake Como. Would definitely recommend and would return.

Beautifully boutique villa hotel
My husband and I stayed for 5 nights and very much enjoyed our stay. The hotel has been loving restored and offers beautiful traditional Italian style rooms. The hotel is run by a local family who were very warm and friendly and really nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is in a great location with views across Lake Como, close to the ferry crossing to Bellagio and nearby restaurants.

Perfect choice for Lake Como
Could not fault this hotel at all. Our stay at villa la mirabella was perfect. It's an ideal location to explore lake como though the hotel grounds and surrounds are lovely enough that you might never leave. We were tossing up staying in one of the large hotels in the area but glad we decided against that. It's a prefect small hotel and the staff were wonderful. Definitely worth getting the lake view or partial lakeview room if possible. Will 100% return here (wish we never left)!!

Beautiful villa, great location, friendly staff!
We visited Lake Como at the end of our trip to Italy and so glad we did! We were tired of the museums and crowds and the villa was such a wonderful place to relax at the end of our trip. The location was perfect close to the Botanical Gardens, restaurants, and the Ferry stop (convenient to take to Bellagio across the lake). The room was comfortable and beautiful and the breakfast was wonderful too, we could not have asked for a better stay!

I agree will all the positive reviews I had read.
Paulo is very attentive, first class service. Cadenabbia is a great location for Belaggio, Menaggio and Varenna. All Italian roads are busy and need care when driving or walking, same applies outside this hotel. I've never taken so many photos of the same views, crazy but it says it all about the area. Fab!

Perfect hotel on edge of Lake Como
This is a wonderful hotel in a beautiful setting right on the edge of Lake Como. Paolo made us feel very welcome from the minute we stepped in the door and even understood our Scottish accents. I would like to thank him and the rest of his family for being so helpful and attentive throughout our stay. The hotel itself has been renovated to a magnificent standard with some lovely features throughout. The roof top pool has stunning views across the lake to Bellagio and the mountains beyond. The terrace at the front of the hotel is the perfect place to relax with a cold beer and prosecco at the end of a day exploring the lake and villages. Its two minutes to the car ferry to Bellagio (nice way to arrive) and only 10 minutes to the 2 other ferry stops which take you to Como and the rest of the lake towns an villages. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. I cant recommend this hotel highly enough and we look forward to returning in the very near future.

Little gem in Lake Como
The cozy and quaint hotel was beautiful! Paolo, his brother, and the rest of the staff were wonderful. Paolo spoke perfect English and was very helpful in answering all of our questions. The breakfast provided was also delicious. The homemade jams should not be missed!! I would recommend tgis establishment to anyone traveling to the Lake Como area.

Perfect place to stay on Lake Como
We really can't say enough about the service provided by the proprietors of Villa La Mirabella. Their service was very friendly and always accommodating. Our room was very clean, comfortable, and offered a peaceful setting with a partial lake view balcony and another window facing the garden. Offered both great views and privacy. The bathroom was spacious and modern. Paolo and his family have preserved a beautiful lake villa while installing unobtrusive modern updates that do not detract from the hotel's charm. He was ready to answer any questions regarding the hotel, the surrounding area, and travel arrangements. After serving us a lovely (and very reasonably-priced!) dinner on the first night of our stay, he was nice enough to recommend restaurants and make dinner reservations for us for the remainder of our stay. The continental breakfast was also exceptional, definitely better than an average complimentary hotel breakfast. Outstanding accommodations and excellent service. We would definitely stay here again when returning to Lake Como.

Lovely hotel, but...
Pros: Lovely property, close to villa carlotta estate, nice hosts, likely a lot cheaper than stuff across the lake, nice breakfast. Cons: west side of lake como has a lot of traffic and isn't pedestrian friendly.. confusing ferry system makes getting back home hard (hotel actually is serviced by 3 different ferry stops). I would probably look at other cities to stay in next time, as the savings and inconveniences isn't worth it.

Good food, excellent service; a delight.
Although we stayed only for three days, we enjoyed the time spent at the Vill la Mirabella enormously. The weather was very kind, every day was sunny and warm for the time of year. We visited the local botanical Gardens which were magnificent in full Spring bloom. A boat trip across the lake was a great pleasure. We would recommend both the hotel and the area with enthusiasm.

Great spot for visiting Lake Como
Villa La Mirabella is in a great spot directly across the lake from Bellagio. Westayed for two nights in July 2013. It is well appointed with lovely grounds including an under cover carpark and swimming pool with views over the lake. It would be hard to beat for a quiet base to explore Lake Como. Breakfast was included but they did not handle gluten free requirement well. We had dinner right next door at Restaurant Rodrigo.

One of the most beautiful places in the world.
Charming former Villa just across the street from Lake Como with fantastic views of the Lake, Bellagio on the far shore, and the mountains beyond. We ate dinner (simple 3 course dinner, but well prepared and presented and quite tasty) in the small dining room while gazing at the incredible view. Breakfast (typical European fare of cold cuts, fruit, breads, pastries, and yogurt) was in adjacent sunroom with the same stunning views. The was a lift to get luggage to second floor room which was a nice size with a small balcony. Bathroom was small but serviceable and clean. Bed was comfortable and they did get softer pillows for my wife. Internet service was a bit weak and I had to go down to sitting room to get a really good connection. We did not get to use the pool up the hill behind the Villa, but it looked inviting. We were able to walk to Villa Carlotta, boat dock for the ferry to Bellagio, or the slow boat that stops all along the Lake. One hop away from Lenno and the Villa Balbianello, which is a must see. We will always remember our visit here and the fantastic sights. Paolo ran the front desk and served our breakfast and dinner. He was a wealth of information and very friendly and helpful. Spoke excellent English for which I am grateful.

Delightful hotel and excellent service
We had a wonderful two nights in the Villa La Mirabella. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the location was amazing - the view from the pool was priceless. The Villa is located within easy walking distance of two boat stops making touring the lake delightful. We left our car parked and didn't move it once. Local eating places are 2 minutes away. When we arrived i was disappointed that the Villa was on a road with quite a lot of traffic on it - this was not a problem - we could not hear it from the hotel. I don't often fill in feedback forms but we had such a wonderful stay here that I wanted others to enjoy it too. Would definitely go back.

Excellent place to stay for a restful getaway
Overall, the hotel was great but we stayed during a very hot spell and the a/c was not really up to the job. The hotel provided us with an additional fan and we were comfortable. The breakfast was good and the service was excellent. The vening meal was very good but there is no choice, so it is important to check what is on offer each day. The swimming pool was great with spectacular views over the lake and there was another quiet spot in the garden above the pool with even better views of the lake. Fimally, but most important, the staff at the hotel were very friendly and most helpful. Highly recommended.
