This is an absolute GEM! Although it's a little tired looking - I superb for the money! Great welcome and host, the balcony over looking the lake was stunning (facing Bellagio!) - What a win!! It was 1 minute walk to the ferry (bellagio, varenna), parking included! The breakfast was actually superb. Continental brekkie can sometimes be hit and miss - but this one had fresh bread and croissants, lots of fresh meats and cheese, plenty of cereal choice and the coffee was great! Biscuits, jams. everything! Most people assume you are quite far from places - it's all so close. 1 minute drive to Tremezzo, 4 minute drive to Menaggio. Bus stop outside for those not driving! It's quick! So feel reassured. Recommend visiting Lenno and Villa Balbienello and Villa Carlotta is literally just down the road by 1 min!

Loved it!!

the view is amazing. The location was the best aspect of the hotel. You would need to have a car to be able to easily get around but the boat shuttle is just across the street so that was also useful. it’s a magical place in the winter.

The dinner. do not eat dinner at the hotel. our booking had breakfast included and we asked the hotel staff for restaurant recommendations for lunch and dinner. they recommend the restaurant next door to the Hotel and the one inside the hotel. we tried the one that’s next door and it was actually amazing value for money and great quality. we were told however that the hotel restaurant had more options and we made the mistake of eating there the second night. I would stick to the restaurant next door. the hotel restaurant staff gave us overly priced stale cheese and an oily inedible steak.

The location of the hotel is exceptional. It’s close to ferries and bus stops. Ferry transfer to Bellagio takes only 10 minutes. I loved Cadenabbia and Griante. I recommend going up to the centre and see the church, hills and streets. It has a true Italian vibe, better than in Bellagio which is full of tourists. The breakfast is simple, but you can find something for yourself. The hotel is quite old, but it’s clean. I loved the view from the balcony, it was like a dream. Some people complain about the noise, yes there was some noise but it wasn’t bothering us. We loved the restaurant Risto Bar in front of the hotel. The food was amazing and quite cheap and the service also :) Overall, I would go back, despite some minuses.

As for the breakfast - I was missing vegetables and fruits a lot, I was extremely surprised that nothing was there… We had a room with the fan, instead of AC, but it’s our fault as we hadn’t noticed than. It was extremely hot in the room.

Read through as this might be exactly what you are looking for! If you are looking for a reasonably priced amazing location right in the water this place would be your choice for 3 reasons: 1 right on the ferry station easy to access to and from. This will allow you to go to Bellagio for dinner round trip easily. 2 Parking lot - the hotel has a parking lot for you which is a huge advantage in this area. 3 Andrea the owner is the kindest person you’ll meet here! He’ll happily share with you insider tips that would make or break your trip. Highly recommended!

First time visit to Lake Como, hadn't known where to stay so I stumbled across this hotel almost last minute. Situated right across the road from the lake, near to other restaurants and a fabulous cafe, its a few minutes walk to the ferry port plus the bus stop is right outside. It costs only a few euros from Como on the C10 bus to Menaggio. I love this place. They say eat/stay where the locals do and Cadenabbia as well as this hotel, is such a place. Everyone spoke to us, helped us when we needed it, it is such a relaxed place. The view from most rooms and the dining room cannot be bettered. If I could go back right now, I would. Whilst there, I didn't switch the TV or waste my time on my phone. Every aspect of the hotel is spotless, every member of staff is lovely.

Nothing

This hotel is such a nice one if you are not searching for fancy but for authentic! It has this old Italy vibe. Such a local thing. The doggo Cookie is sweet. The staff was always helpful, nice and friendly. 1. Location next to Candenabbia ferry station ( you can see it from the window ), the beautiful promenade with wisteria 2. The view is spectacular, right on the Bellagio, snow pics of alps from the left side and Como hills from the right side. We got the best room with 3 windows on both sides. Thank you!!! 3. The breakfast offers many options, not only pastries as usual for Italy. You get eggs, parma, salami etc. ,local cheese. I loved it. The croissants were perfectly crispy and the ☕ very good. In the evening this is a restaurant where locals eat. The pizzas were good. A pity that pana cota was gone so fast abd we could not try it😅 4. Internet usually worked. One day it was broken but we survived somehow 5. The cleaning is every day, too cool for a 3* hotel)) 6. The heating works, the shower was well enough, and you have a bidet. 7. The bed was comfortable, there is a small smart tv to enjoy some Netflix if you wish. The fridge was ok. I liked the woman statue on our terrace. 8. There is a local shop and the bar next to the building. 9.Thank you so much for our stay and for the prosecco gift ❤️ Sending love from Ukraine.

The noise from the street is a real thing. It starts early in the morning because the main road goes next to the building. If you like quiet area, this is not a choice. This was actually the only thing we did not like

one of the room was directly in front of the lake. Marvelous.

the other room we rent was not in front of the lake.

The hotel is located on lake shore at Cadenebbia which is near Menaggio. The room was clean, neat, spacious and some of the rooms have great view to lake como. There is a restaurant right next door which serves good coffee and good. The manager was very helpful and gave us good advice regrading local travel and for train connection to Tirano from Varenna, as had to board Bernina Express the next day. The bus stand is right outside the hotel and ferry station about 5 to 7 minutes away. Good place to stay near Menaggio. Bellagio and Varenna are just across the lake and reachable by ferry within 15 to 20 minutes. from Varenna there are direct trains to Milan and Tirano.

The bus and ferry to Cadennebia ferry station, where the hotel is located, are not very frequent. In case it is missed, then there is a long wait for the next one. So study the bus and ferry schedule in detail. Bellagio and Varenna are just opposite and can be by ferry in 15 to 20 minutes.

It was an incredible experience. The charm and beautiful location of the hotel provided a gorgeous view of Bellagio. The hotel itself was very tidy, clean and cozy. It felt like a family-owned establishment, with the staff being extremely friendly. The presence of a pizzeria on the ground floor was a delightful addition, it's Italy! Amazing location also offers easy access to the ferryboat, making it convenient to explore, the surrounding areas such as Menaggio. This makes it the perfect for those looking to enjoy the tranquility of Griante while still having access to all the Lake Como small cities. I loved being able to easily hop on a ferry and visit neighboring towns and attractions. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to have a memorable stay at Como lake.

The only minor inconvenience I encountered was difficulty finding parking when the pizzeria was open. However, this did not detract from the overall wonderful experience I had at the hotel.

The location was perfect - lovely sunrise and walk along the lake in the early morning before the cars and bikes start. Great service. Fantastic view (even from the bathroom!). Superclean sheets and bathroom. Staff very helpful, going out of their way to assist us with our stay. Lovely little Cookie, the senior pup was a welcome surprise for us, too! Excellent value.

The room was very small and a bit dated, but they don't hide these facts in their advertising and I think they under-sell themselves as the room and view are way better than pictured - so it exceeded our expectations! The hotel is right on the main road so the traffic can be quite noisy during the day - especially the motorbikes, but after dark it is quite peaceful.
