Exceptional view of Lake Como from the restaurant and a beautiful home and area. We loved walking around Brunate and enjoying all of the views. The room itself was stunning and unique with a very romantic ambiance. The restaurant was excellent, as well.

If you have a larger car or aren't used to driving narrow Italian roads, the drive up to Brunate may be a bit intimidating. If parking in the lot, definitely drive past the hotel, do a three point turn and approach the entry from the other direction. People may be milling about in the street as the funicular entrance is right by the hotel.

My partner and I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in March 2024. It was a splendid stay! The views over the Lake from the breakfast and dining room table was amazing. The hotel is located at the top of the funicular, just a few minutes walk from the station and there are several food places nearby. The breakfast was really nice with bread, yogurt, cheese, fruit and eggs plus orange juice, water and a choice of hot beverage. The decoration of the hotel interior displays some eye-catching antiques, the rooms were clean had an old-fashioned vibe and there is an incredible spa room with a jacuzzi, sauna and breathtaking view overview of the Lake on the top floor which can be hired out - if you are a couple visiting, I would highly suggest doing this option during your stay. The hotel and its family staff, were very accommodating and courteous to us throughout. On check out, which was very early in the morning, they left us out a breakfast to takeaway for our journey home. We would recommend a stay here, particularly for couples, for a future trip to Como

Had some trouble with the code for night time entry to the hotel, but thankfully staff were on hand to let us back into the hotel after hours.

Nice, clean and well maintained old building Fantastic view Restaurant and bar onsite Reasonable pricing Friendly staff Pleasant temperatures even during hot summer Parking possible Good connection to Como (cable car next to hotel, literally) Good communication with the hotel in general

To get there, you need to accept the fact, that roads are really narrow, like a lot, especially if Waze or Google takes you through Civiglo. If you have a bigger car, beware, but Civiglo road was really tough. Use the road from Como, highly recommended. Breakfast could be better (bigger selection in general) Restaurant is nice, although menu is a bit limited and the staff was friendly, but chaotic, considering how many tables they are operating

The views are amazing! The funicular was not working during our visit, so the area was very quiet, which I enjoyed. We were provided with a nice variety for breakfast. The rooms are nice, in keeping with the decor, although quite small. It was warm and cosy. The staff were very friendly. The price was relatively good but we did visit in off-season.

The pillows were quite hard and uncomfortable. As the funicular was not working, we did have to drive up and down the mountain each day.

Amazing location, very cute room with a comfy mattress. The restaurant food was really tasty, you should definitely eat there at least once ! The property itself is really well kept and worth the price. The breakfast was very good too. We got coffee, croissants, bread, boiled egg, ham and cheese, cereal, fruit, and fruit juice. Very reasonable check-in/check-out times The staff were helpful when we asked for information about what to do in the area and speak English fluently.

The Spa is quite expensive (40 euros for 1h30) but well worth it for the experience and the views.

The view was exceptional. Our room was so clean and cozy. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and the staff was so accommodating and friendly.

The only bad side was that you needed either a rental car or the cable car to get to the hotel on top of the mountain. Make sure you plan ahead if you are taking the cable car because the waits can be over an hour to get up and down during the busiest times. We didn’t have a car so the wait was often long. This is in no way an issue with the hotel. We loved everything about the hotel.

Unique older property atop Brunate overlooking Lake Como. Great views. Nice European style breakfast.

Driving to the property was a challenge up a long series of very small roads with multiple serpentine curves. Make sure that you contact the hotel to reserve a parking spot (€10/day). From the property, must take a funicular down to Como. Unique experience but adds travel time to/from Como. Buy round trip tickets up top to avoid sometimes long lines when returning from Como. No A/C and we had attic room. First night, nice cross breeze. Second nice not so much and also had problems with bugs since there were no screens on windows.

Amazing view and chick room, old fashion and stylish. Very good food.

Black mold in shower tile joints should be cleaned, otherwise the room felt clean. The room was small but cosy, although a bit unpractically furnished when you are a couple with one bag each. Food was good but the service was lacking, both at the dinner and breakfast. Waiters are nice and friendly but a bit too slow and not recognising if something is missing. At the dinner we got the wine after we were served the food, and at the breakfast we had to wait too long for the bread, and then again for the ham and cheese. The breakfast was some sort of made-to-order, and it is a good concept but we felt it took too long. Overall we liked our stay anyway. (Also, the bed is short, probably a problem for taller people!)

An amazing little hotel in and amazing location. The views were exceptional and photo's do not do it justice. The rooms were clean spacious and felt very authentic Italian B&B. Food was exceptional, breakfast and Dinner. Wide selection of good wines, staff were always friendly an hugely accommodating. We had a balcony room with a lake view and i cannot express the views that we woke up to every morning.

Amazing location just off the funicular from Como, a beautiful art deco villa with views down to the lake, an amazing dining room. Staff friendly and helpful, breakfasts good, dinners memorable. Attic rooms very spacious, with good beds and showers. Lovely to have Brunate to yourselves in the early morning and late evening, walk up to the Faro Volta for the views of the lake and mountains is essential.

Final touch would be a bar area with seating as well as the restaurant - although you can sit outside on the terrace!
