I absolutely loved this hotel. A family run (I think) charming and quaint hotel in the beautiful Lake Como town of Lenno. I stayed 3 nights as I was attending a wedding and thought the room was perfect. Very, very clean room and bathroom, very comfortable bed and spacious room (I stayed in the room which can fit 3 people) with a lovely balcony with 2 chairs which had a stunning view of the mountains. The location was great too, quite tucked away and only a 20/5 minute walk to the ferry terminal of Lenno. On the way to the terminal there’s lots of cute restaurants and 2 supermarkets which was handy. The breakfast was really great also, had a great selection. The staff were lovely and I felt at home here. I’d love to return here!

Nothing- I loved it all!

Absolutely everything. The family, the room, breakfasts, the localization, the evening piano concerts. Breakfast are fresk and you may order whatever you want. The family is serving The breakfasts. Lenno is a very good place to stay because it's silent place with nice path greenwalk del lago, an historical centre, with the most beautiful place on Como Lake - Villa Balbianello and its garden. The best is that the localization is in the Middle Como Lake where boats can carry you to Menaggio, Bellagio and Varenna. Also Como is is a nice city. The shuttle boats can carry you to Domaso or Colico - very silent place with beautiful view on Alp. We spend here one weekend with our dog. The room was big enough for the two of us and a cocker spaniel 😊

The atmosphere was great at Il Grifo, we only stayed one night but would’ve gladly spent more if we had the time. The room was a good size for our needs, really warm when we got there, which I liked, especially since we were walking around in the rain since the morning. In the morning we had breakfast served which was more than enough for the two of us and quite varied. We would absolutely come back if we’ll be in the area in the future.

Nothing to add here

Perfect location for lake como, more quiet and relaxed than Bellagio / Varenna. Lots of restaurants nearby and we loved the breakfast every morning. Rooms were cleaned everyday and staff were great! They even opened breakfast early for us on our last day. 15min walk to the ferry, we didn’t mind as it had beautiful views the whole way.

We had a spacious and clean room for me and my daughters. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The WiFi was good and reliable. The included breakfast was very generous, with pancakes, eggs, baked goods, yogurt and a lot more.

The parking situation around lake Como is tricky. Although across the street under the bridge we could park our vehicle.

it is a family run hotel more than one hundred years. the hostel is an ancient well kept building. the room is spacious fully equipped although we did not use the kitchen. very very clean. very romantic restaurant. very nice team although some have difficulty with English. breakfast is simple but very good (Italian style: good bread, espresso/ cappuccino and Dolci among other things). the location is good. it is in Lenno village with lake view. very quite and romantic. Lenno has very narrow alleys kept as it was hundred of years ago. a must. i would chose the hotel again.

nothing to complain!

The rooms seem to have been recently refurbished. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast has been served (in the premisses of the restaurant) and was excellent, with great quality food. We arrived later than planned due to traffic and the staff was kind enough to arrange a late check-in.

Nothing - everything was great!

Great location. Beautiful building and interior. The room was gorgeous and very spacious! Had lovely cold air conditioning as it was very hot. Huge bathroom. Comfortable beds. Stunning food at the restaurant the best food we had in Italy! Lovely breakfast included. Very friendly staff. Has a Laundromat 5 min walk away which was handy. Very clean and beautifully styled hotel. I highly recommend.

Nothing it was a wonderful experience!

Great family owned hotel reachable from Lenno dock using either bus (Ossuccio Isola stop) or walking along the Greenway of Como. Nice restaurant in house for the evening you just want to spend in, serving a really enjoyable tirimasu which will have you come back for seconds. Breakfast served at the table will make you feel special :) Beds are solid 10/10, and one bedside table has a USB-charger outlet. Plenty of towels and shower products. They have a wide assortment of tourist information available in different languages on the second floor, which is great since the tourist office by Lenno dock wasn't really open during our stay. Room had a real quite AC.

Sadly, Google suggests a route without sidewalk parts of the way here from the Lenno dock. It can make it feel intimidating to get here, but keep an eye out for Greenway of Como signs! There is a tourist tax, which is not included in the booking price, note that this is pretty common in Italy and nothing unique for il Grifo. While roomservice overall was very nice, our toilet paper was not replenished, resulting in us running out on our last day. I had the bad timing to not find someone to ask, since I am sure it would've been provided when requested, probably just forgotten, not intentionally held back!

Beautiful location. very clean and tidy. The place is family ran and it was felt, very warm hospitality! We went in low low season and I think we were the only guests and they treated us very nicely. Plus thier restaurant is super tasty, we had a great dinner in the evening, and a super breakfast:)

Everything was great! the only thing to improve was the comfort of the beds. (it wasn't very bad but it can improve)
