Hotel berhampiran Museo del Paesaggio del Lago di Como, Porlezza

Our second trip to this outstanding resort and once again it exceeded our expectations. The staff went out of their way to make this such a memorable trip. We had a few problems with car hire which the staff went above and beyond to help us sort. Alessandro the hotel manager took a personal interest in helping us which was a much appreciated personal touch. Breakfast is a highlight on a beautiful veranda overlooking Lake Lugano with no request being too much for the delightful and accommodating staff. On both occasions accommodation has been fantastic with both rooms having a beautiful view of the lake. Beds are wonderfully comfy and pillows are wonderful. Really pleasant bar manager Marco would go to great lengths to serve us. Again a wonderful personal touch. Walking into Cimi and Porlezza is both a really lovely experience with an abundance of Olive trees and fig trees surrounding the complex. We had a couple of overcast days where we used the spa facilities. Again a superb experience. I would highly recommend this environment conscious, customer conscious resort.

We had a wonderful stay at the Hotel Bellavista in Menaggio, Lake Como, Italy. The location was fantastic to explore the local Italian villages, and the city of Menaggio was delightful! The Hotel staff was accommodating and informative. Our rooms had panoramic balcony views, providing an excellent Lake Como view! The location was close to the Ferry terminal, providing easy access to Verena, Bellagio, and Como during our stay. We had a fantastic meal the last night at the hotel restaurant. Of particular note, we had a great experience with Christiana, a local server and waitress. She was most helpful and courteous to us during our stay. This hotel is highly recommended to others!

This hotel is in a beautiful location very close to the ferry and a bus stop. Stunning views, good restauronts, safe and some what of a community feel. The restauront was fine, the room was very small with technical difficulties such as some light switches not working, broken drying cord, broken do not disturb button but it was clean. Overall it was fine and clean and well situated.

Beautiful looking building situated in the quaint town of Bellagio, Lake Como. The hotel is conveniently situated close to the ferry port with very little walking distance. The hotel itself looks grand and lovely, it shocks you to notice it is a three star hotel at face value at least, but we will dive into the star rating later. The hotel has a pizzeria, gelato shop and a restaurant across the road right on the water edge with amazing views, for hotel guests only. The hotel did have a decent pool for hotel guests so we made use of that. We were in room 30. The room was dated and required some modern tlc. That didn't bother me too much initially. However, the bedding cover had the consistency of a dated curtain, not my taste but I guess I shouldn't judge. The bed itself however required a review on its own. The bed was so hard and uncomfortable that even the father bear in the Goldilocks story would toss and turn. It was utterly dreadful. A cheap 1 star hostel bed would have been better. Completely unacceptable. The bathroom was nice however upon arrival there was a slight drain smell. The shower was ok. The AC in the room could not be controlled. It has to be controlled by the hotel reception. This was pretty ridiculous and dated. We requested the AC to be lowered but they didn't do it. We visited Bellagio for one night with average temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius so we needed to be cooled. The dining experience was ok. We reserved a table and were giving a beautiful table looking out to the lake and mountains. Very picturesque. The dining staff however were not very attentive at all and had a vibe of not wanting to be there. There was a vibe of stress amongst them which surprised me as it wasn't busy with customers nor were there difficult people to deal with. It did start to rain and we requested to move further in which they allowed us. Another couple requested the same however the waiter was in denial it was raining. Which I thought was quite hilarious and ridiculous. The food was nice but lacked some flavour, I got the salmon. Perhaps that is partly my ignorance of Italian food. The tiramisu was disappointing as well, absolutely zero coffee flavour. It was creamy which was nice but I didn't just want creamy textures to ingest. Upon waking up, the drain smell in the bathroom was overwhelming and awful. The breakfast they offered was of poor choice and quality. I didn't even bother eating or drinking. It was mainly sweet with little option for savoury. I would recommend spending more money if you can to have a better quality experience. This hotel is lucky to maintain its third star. We were so disappointed as this was supposed to be a nice return trip to Bellagio 2 years later from our first visit.

my wife and I visited the hotel during winter. It was not crowded and we were the only ones who had dinner at the hotel restaurant that night. The food is good. what i want to stress the most is that the view from my lakeview room is stunning. i believe it has the best view out of all the hotels in Bellagio given its location and altitude. With the room, view and service we got, it is safe to say it has the greatest value for money out all my 9-day stay in Italy.

We just spent 2 days at the Hotel Royal Victoria and it was fantastic! Hotel has a great location in the square in Varenna with our room overlooking beautiful Lake Como! The staff of the hotel were so friendly and helpful. From Marco, the concierge, who made us a dinner reservation and arranged drivers for us, to Aziz the bartender who made great drinks with a friendly smile to the front desk staff who were very friendly and efficient, everyone at the hotel was great! Our room was clean and bed comfortable and we enjoyed sitting on our balcony looking out at the Lake. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Lake Como and hope to return some day!

Last minute booking here after I missed my train and had to suddenly rearrange travel plans. Staff super friendly and the lady even stayed late to let me in and kept good communication by email. I had a lovely big private room with comfortable bed and a sink. The hostel is in a superb location and in lovely grounds (I wish I had been able to stay long enough to use the pool!). As it is a hostel the facilities were fairly basic and there was some early morning noise from people as my room was next to reception (get a room upstairs if possible), but nothing unreasonable or unexpected. I would definitely stay here again and recommended it to others I met on my travels

I first wrote a review on this lovely little hotel in autumn 2021 and remarked that we would return to the hotel if ever in the region again. Fate has it that we have been back to and through the Ticino region of Switzerland again every year since and have returned to the Hotel La Tureta a further five times. This speaks for itself, I believe. La Tureta obviously suits us very well, the friendliness of the staff, cleanliness of the hotel, comfort of the beds and good food at their restaurant. No frills, but very appealing. We have made a point of planning our route to be able to stay at La Tureta, the only drawback being that we have never had the opportunity to stay longer than one day/night, much to our regret. But we will continue to return and recommend this delightful hotel to anyone in the Bellinzona region.

The hotel is so different than what it looks like on the pictures. The photographer forgot a lot of real views. The old building is in fact presenting a few room. But there is an other building at the back from the 70’s including lot of room and not renewed since decades. I booked a lake view but they are not fronting the lake because there is another building in front of the lake. The pool is not fronting the hotel but you have to pass a tunnel under the public road to access. Not romantic at all. I would not recommend this hotel for romantic purpose. I chose to leave the hotel and not to sleep there.
