Not at all what we expected.
The negative:
1. The pictures on Hotels.com are misleading.
2. The internet in the room did not work at all, apparently due to the rainy weather.
3. The spa was closed.
4. We never saw any welcome drink.
5. Poor information upon arrival, which led to us not realizing that breakfast was not served from 7:00 AM as it is at other hotels on weekdays, but from 8:00 AM.
The positive:
The view was fantastic.
Parking was free and the breakfast was okay.

Albergo Sala was a unique experience in the small village of Valbrona. It was quiet and not much to do but that's what we were looking for. The staff were excellent and very helpful and the food was wonderful. The inn is historic and has been in the family for a few hundred years! As it is off the beaten track it is advisable to have a car as public transport is infrequent and challenging and taxi service is quite expensive. Aside from that it was a great place to stay a few days.

Cozy hotel, very clean and nice staff.
I stayed at this hotel for one night as I was passing through. It’s a small village and not much to do, but a 10 minute drive and you’ll be down by the lake where there’s a restaurant you can eat and drink at - but you’ll need to drive there. The hotel was nice, the view lovely, the staff super nice - but there was no airconditioning which was terrible as it was extremely hot. I was not able to sleep well because of this. They were so kind and gave me a free glass of wine the first evening before heading down to the lake.
Very good , absolutely happy with it , highly recommend

Unfreundlich, Essen verbesserungsfähig und das Frühstück ist lächerlich, man schien als Gast nicht erwünscht zu sein, wir mussten stets selber nachfragen zum etwas zu bestellen, echt nur als Notunterkunft- sonst Finger weg

Questo albergo pedemontano, poco distante dalla frequentatissima e caotica Bellagio che sconsiglio, è una vera perla nascosta che segnero' tra i preferiti.
Dotato di parcheggio e percorso wellness, camere semplici ma pulitissime, letti comodi, offre un gustoso servizio colazioni ed una carta ristorante da veri chef stellati.
In dieci minuti di auto si arriva alla riva del lago in prossimità degli imbarcaderi per tutta la navigazione del centro lago. Assolutamente da evidenziare la massima gentilezza del titolare e di tutto il personale. Consigliatissimo.

Struttura situata in una zona molto adatta per chi volesse fare camminate e escursioni nella natura ma anche per chi volesse trascorrere una giornata in riva al lago.
Personale cordiale e disponibile, pronto a soddisfare le vostre richieste.
Camere semplici ma con il necessario.

Hôtel convenable près du lac de Côme
Hôtel pratique si vous êtes en voiture ! A quelques minutes du lac de Côme vous pouvez vous rendre aux plages un peu plus bas.
Petit déjeuner simple mais qui nous a convenu.
Chambre simple et dans son jus mais pour une nuit ça fait l’affaire !
Parking disponible mais pas pratique car très étroit ! Pour notre part nous avons préféré nous garer dans une rue en contrebas à quelques minutes seulement à pied !

Great staff and located not too far from the lake! Room was a little cramped and spots of mould in the bathroom. Breakfast was simple. Perfect for a night's stay, if passing through.
