Locanda Della Maria

Only stayed one night, but it was great. Wonderful room and quiet. Very nice buffet breakfast with the wonderful fresh croissants and local cheese. Our host was wonderful as well. We didn't see the famous Bruno though. Would recommend the tram or a taxi or local bus to get there as it is 0.9 miles mostly uphill from Bellagio with your luggage etc. But it is a lovely scenic walk from their location in San Giovanni to Bellagio. There are some local places to eat nearby, contrary to some reviewers saying there were hardly any. Ittiturismo Ristorante Mella is located almost right next door. NeNe Food is on the small walkway behind the B&B. Riverside snack bar is on Via Alla Spiaggia. Ristorante Silvio and Alle D****ne di Loppia are located a short walk away as well. We would highly recommend this B&B.

The room is clean and spacious. The beds are firm and comfortable, the pillows are a bit too bulky for us but it’s a personal preference. The furniture, in my opinion, look outdated, but again some guests may like the “antique” types of furnishings. The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood and one block from the lake. There’s a ferry dock with limited service. Breakfast offers fresh fruits, hard boiled eggs, cold meats, cheeses, yogurt, delicious cakes and hot beverages. The hostess, Laura, is extremely helpful, so is her assistant, Giovanna(?)! The place is charming. We enjoyed our stay.

It took a few tries to connect with Laura to confirm our arrival, but once we connected, she couldn't have been a better hostess. The building is charming and we enjoyed the quiet town of San Giovanni. The center of Bellagio is about a mile away and a pleasant walk, though there is also a small train you can catch just about a block away. When we did arrive, Laura kindly welcomed us, showed us our apar**ent, the breakfast room, and then we accepted her offer of a ride into Bellagio as we wanted to explore the area and were unfamiliar. That was definitely exceptional service! Our apar**ent was huge, and we loved the space to spread out. We are walkers/ hikers, so didn't mind the steps, but it was about 4 flights up. (Good exercise!) Windows are high in this lovely finished attic apar**ent and offer gorgeous views on 3 sides. The breakfast was wonderful with meats, eggs, cheeses, fruits, pastries, and more. Just steps away there is an excellent restaurant for dinner that is understated from the outside, but very nice decor inside and serves excellent local food with excellent service. There is also a nice Cafe just around the corner for an afternoon drink and snack. We'd happily return and highly recommend this B&B!

The rooms were fabulous. It is reasonably priced for not being in the center of the city. Breakfast was more than adequate. Checking in was a bit hard, since this is a bed and breakfast place without a registration desk.

The host was wonderful. She offered us a ride to the ferry free of charge. Very kind and helpful. My only issue was that the shower was so tiny, you could barely turn around

We had the best time at this cute BNB. The daily buffet breakfast was a great way to start the day. The place was impeccably clean. It is located close to the biggest/best beach in all of Bellagio.

A fantastic stay, location and staff! My wife and I stayed here for our first ever trip to Italy and we were blown away by the hospitality of the staff. Our room was clean and the view of the hillside was lovely to wake up to each morning. We enjoyed our breakfast also every morning. Thank you Laura we will be back again :)

I like the stuff very nice people but the location very limited and far from the city big mistake we did come with car

Nice to be a bit removed from the busty centre. The host is incredibly helpful and really cares for her guests.
