Locanda Della Maria

Lovely hotel off the beaten path but near the beach and bus back to Como! Host was so kind and helpful! Breakfast was amazing! If you want a place to unwind and relax then this is the perfect hotel for you! I will be coming back. Thank you for making my stay remarkable! Fireworks at 10 pm!

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 Darsene di Loppia are located a short walk away as well. We would highly recommend this B&B.

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 apartment, 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 apartment 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 apartment 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!

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 :)
