The French Country Inn

Lakefront, heated pool, restaurant with music, breakfast was delicious!

Kind of pricey

Lovely place: can’t beat the location (room right on the lake, windows opening on a great porch); 5 mins away from Mars restaurant; great music, bar and breakfast at the country inn. Perfect to enjoy the Lake Life! It’s not super fancy, but very cute, clean, with great staff. I have already recommended to a few friends.

Nothing

Lake view, nice staff, free parking.

Old room air conditioner, basic room, small bathroom.

We were aware that on the monday morning there would be a continental breakfast which was acceptable - the location was stunning with an uninterrupted view of the lake. The room was recently refurbished so looked smart and clean

The website does not show clearly the accomodation and some pictures being used are of a property they no longer own! On arrival we drove round 3 times as there was no clear signage to indicate check in, or our accommodation. As there are 3 buildings. It turns out the room we wanted on the photo was no longer owned by the French Inn. We were offered a choice of the Historic Inn room (tired, in need of refurb or the motel-style accommodation (the motel had an uninterrupted view of the lake, so we went for that. When we asked for a bedside lamp we were told by the chef/ deputy manager - you have the wall light, these rooms dont have lamps - it does dim a bit. I explained I like to sew and my husband likes to read and having a bright albeit slightly dimmed wall light was not relaxing! He couldnt have cared less. 20 minutes later an ancient filthy desk lamp was delivered. We asked what time breakfast started in the restaurant and were told, as it was Mother's Day tomorrow, we could only have a continental breakfast as we weren't allowed in the restaurant -but they would allow us $10 off the $68 Mothers Day brunch (PP) !!!. This was out of our budget. When we arrived at breakfast on Sunday - in the lobby..... it was a toaster/mini oven, bagels in their bag, some pound cake, jerky, cheese stick and yoghurt all the same flavour and some dried out fruit salad - it wasn't even presented nicely, or continental !! Which we then had to sit on our bed to eat as there is only one chair in the room. Monday morning we were woken by a chop saw starting at 0730 (there is ongoing work to refurbish).In chatting to the new lady receptionist, we said how disappointed we were, and if it wasn't for the view, we would have left. She was very apologetic, and already the continental breakfast laid out was 200% nicer than the day before adding a few pastries and making individual coffees. She really cared and thought of every detail- it showed.

Beautiful location on Lake Como. Updated rooms were very comfortable and quiet. Staff was friendly

Exterior building badly needs paint. Stairways had paint stripped down to bare wood.

Cute little place
