Top Cassarate Hotel Reviews

Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place. Good and spacious gym. Close to all and parking available"

Hotel Excelsior Splendide

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at Excelsior Splendide in Bellagio for a couple of days. The location is excellent — very central and within easy walking distance of everything. By North American standards, our room, bathroom and beds were extremely small. I’m only 158 cm and 60 kg, and even I found the bed so narrow that I was genuinely afraid of falling out during the night! Breakfast was a highlight — plentiful, with a great selection, including plenty of meat and savory options. I also really enjoyed the pool area and garden lounges overlooking Lake Como, surrounded by beautiful lemon trees. One inconvenience was having to take additional stairs from the elevator to reach our room. There was no ramp for rolling luggage, and unfortunately there was no bellboy available to help. The gelato shop on the ground floor was fantastic, with lots of flavors — the simple yogurt gelato was to die for! We also enjoyed dinner at the hotel restaurant, which was easy to book. Having dinner by the water at sunset was lovely. For lunch, we grabbed food from the hotel’s street-side restaurant, which had a good selection of salads and drinks. Overall, a decent stay for the price, with an unbeatable central Bellagio location, beautiful lake views, good food and some charming outdoor areas."

Best Western Hotel Bellevue Au Lac

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was excellent choice, I’m very happy with my stay. The front desk Agent Barbara she was out standing and helpful. The room had the best view ever, I could see the sunrise from my bed. I will go back and recommend people to this hotel. Thank you Best-western team ."

Palace Grand Hotel Varese

8/10 Good

"It was certainly a beautiful hotel. It needs to be renovated. I was told that this winter they are closing down for a massive renovation project adding a lift and bringing the hotel up to par. The staff were excellent. The pool was divine, as was the general out door area and the bar was elegant but fun. Looking forwards to trying the renovated version. If travelling to see lake Como, it is a fair distance and generally a car is needed."
