Hotels Near Spiaggia di Gravedona in Gravedona

Spent a couple of nights here. Well off the main road and down by the shore of the lake with good parking and fantastic views. Lovely staff run the hotel and go above and beyond to help you enjoy the hotel or local area. We had a fantastic room at one end of the buildings overlooking the lake and associated mountains. Outdoor pool is a little cool but that’s not a complaint. Breakfast was first class with a huge selection on offer. For lunch we easily walked into town by the lake and had fantastic Pizza for €4.60 plus a glass of wine also for €4.50. Incredibly cheap but excellent quality.

Stayed at Hotel Lago di Como during a business trip, and it turned out to be a great choice. The setting by the lake was a refreshing change from typical business hotels. My room was modern, with all the necessary amenities, and the view was an unexpected bonus. The staff was professional and efficient, making check-in and check-out a breeze. The quiet atmosphere allowed for a good night’s rest after a busy day, and the breakfast was a convenient start to the day. Would definitely consider staying here again, whether for work or leisure.

Felt the need to leave a review, which is rare but because of the amount of research I did prior to our trip to Lake Como and reading the many positive reviews of this hotel, my only hope is that this helps someone spending the same time and energy before their travels. You’ll read within other reviews that the view and location are incredible, this is true, but that’s about all the good that is offered. While the rooms are old, the beds are pretty uncomfortable and the bathrooms resemble a motel, the worst offering (or lack of offering) is the customer service. The reception does not answer the phone, ever. If you get them to answer buy a lottery ticket. One evening we departed for dinner in Bellagio and noticed that the last ferry returning back to the hotel was right before 8pm, much too early. We inquired about how to get back to the hotel after our meal and the receptionist informed us that we could take the ferry to a neighboring town (2 miles away) and to call the hotel when we were on the way and they would arrange a taxi, perfect plan if the hotel answers the phone. Lake Como travel is not easy, the ferry schedules are inconsistent and you aren’t able to easily access the best parts without a vehicle, the hotel made zero effort to assist us in transportation needs and when we would inquire about direction, recommendations, etc there was hardly any given. It became so bad that we inquired about a concierge, but the receptionist informed us that she was there to serve as such…. Lacking qualifications to say the least. We paid $350/night, we understand this is likely a steal of a deal given the hotels views and location and that’s fair, but for this hotel to be classified as a four-star property makes me question the validity of the system and if you’re still reading this review, pay the extra $100-150/night and stay somewhere else for the service alone. You’ll be glad you did.

Over 5 stars for service! I would like to specially acknowledge Nipa who was so helpful and took great care of us during our stay in Varenna. I was sick and she worked with my wife to arrange an appointment with a doctor nearby. She walked with us to the clinic and helped to provide translation for me at the doctor. I’ve stayed at hundreds of hotels before. Never have I ever seen someone go above and beyond to care for us. The management should be proud to have her be a part of their team. Also I would like to acknowledge Euness who was very helpful in taking care of us when the air conditioning had stopped working. Luca, Lavianna, and Nicolette at the front desk were also very kind and helpful. We had a memorable stay here at Hotel Villa Cipressi because of the stellar service we received. I will definitely recommend this hotel.

This truly turned out to be an exceptional place. Literally right on the lake, location could not be better. Also near to some shops and restaurants in both directions along the lake road. The beautiful room was very spacious, and the bathroom was almost as big. We were fortunate to get a corner room with two balconies. Tip: Get a room with a balcony! The hotel is also on a rather busy road. The traffic did not bother us at all, but for light sleepers it might be noisy. We also tried the restaurant in the evening. The food and the service were both excellent, top notch. Breakfast was also very good, not a huge selection, but with high quality products. The staff was also very friendly. Would definitely come back!
