This hotel was really nice! We sprang for the balcony view room, and we should have arrived earlier to take advantage. The restaurant downstairs was bustling with other travelers, not just from the hotel. We did have some time to sit out and enjoy the evening coming down on Lake Como. Elevator and the room has plenty of space with a separate entry room and bathroom, very large. The little village with the castle was incredible, lots of locals walking around and if you follow the narrow streets down to the waterfront there is a little piazza down there and we just happened to catch a large fireworks show from Menaggio that only happens once a year in the summer! Glad we decided to walk in the evening, instead of the next morning.
The only gripe about the hotel may be the road out front is the only road and kind of busy, it did quiet down later at night, and the windows are plenty thick and noise proof.
