"This hotel is right on Lake Como with a pool on the lake! The views of Mountains & ferries traveling in the central lake area is stunning. The hotel provides an excellent variety of cold breakfast choices the front desk was very helpful. The attached restaurant is a separate business which had a delicious looking menu but there were many other choices in the beautiful plaza in town which seemed less expensive. This hotel is a great memory!!"
