The views from room's balcony to Lake Como were exceptional. Staff friendly and accommodating. The only downside was the extremely loud air conditioning unit at night. We would stay here again.

Went kayaking, and the lake was peaceful. Loved the patio overlooking the lake. The heated pool was fun, and dinner at a local supper club was scrumptious. Oh yeah, and breakfast was included. Will go back!

Fantastic history. Eric, the General Manager, was first rate. He was helpful, friendly and shared the rich history of the inn. He and the entire staff were like inn keepers of a well run bed and breakfast.
