Hotel Bellagio

It had been a long-time dream of my wife’s to visit Lake Como and to stay in a hotel with character like Hotel Bellagio. The reception staff spoke English and were helpful and friendly, and provided great advice about parking our rental car. Breakfast and housekeeping staff were also friendly. The hotel was well located, and the many stairs we had to climb to get to it added to its charm. We appreciated being able to access the rooftop terrace but were a little disappointed we could not view the lake from it. The breakfast was good with adequate variety and located in Hotel Bellagio (we were expecting it to be at a “sister” hotel so this was a pleasant surprise). The room was clean, accept for the dust because it likely had not been occupied in awhile.

We didn’t pay for a lake view room so our room was in the back and because of the dust we found in it, our guess is it hadn’t been used recently as most guests would likely book a lake view room. My wife very much disliked that she didn’t have a sense of privacy as our room’s thicker curtains would not cover the entire windows (only the sheer curtains did), and our room could be looked into by neighbours and people walking the stair path. The Hotel Bellagio offered a 10% discount at a nearby restaurant... our advice is to eat somewhere else.

Beautiful view from the room, everything was clean and in good condition. Staff were friendly and helpful, and breakfast was simple but perfect.

The view in the room was priceless, even the bathroom had an amazing view. Worth every penny. The complimentary breakfast in the morning was delicious too.

Only critiques I have is the shower was lukewarm, it would not get very hot. Also the bed was two twin bed pushed together to make one big mattress, which was annoying because they would separate in the night and would have to be pushed back together.

The view from our room was fabulous. Breakfast was fresh and delightful. The steps to the hotel we’re definitely easy to navigate. Close to main square and minutes to walk to wonderful restaurants and lovely shops. Ferries and water taxis are simple to navigate especially with the help of staff at the front desk. Family owned and operated. Can’t wait to return with our family.

Loved it all
