Guest Reviews

• GARY (10/5): Bellagio - Everything was fabulous at Locanda Della Maria The room was spacious with extra pillows and washcloths Weather was against us but we made the most of it Breakfast was delicious and the staff are so welcoming and helpful Laura helped us to maneuver the ferry and how to get to Lugano Switzerland due to Como being flooded and even offered to drive us Did not realize the hotel was 20 minutes walking from the ferry port but we managed Taxis and uber are expensive but there is a bus
• Jan (10/5): - Great location and very friendly staff.
• Husein (10/5): - Excellent
• Lynn (8/5): - Great property at a great price. Hosts were wonderful.
• Kimberly A (10/5): - Our hostess was incredible! The day of our arrival, we took the wrong bus on a hot day and she greeted us at our room with a carafe of chilled water! She made us feel very welcome throughout our stay, and the breakfast was exceptional. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a relaxing vacation in Bellagio.
• Verified traveler (10/5): A beautiful hotel / apartment in Bellagio - We stayed here for 2 nights as a family of 4, with 2 young children. The room was clean, beautiful and spacious. About 25-minute walk to the Bellagio town. There was car parking included in a nearby carpark. A tasty breakfast was included (however, note that breakfast was only from 8am so if you are an early riser you may have to miss this). There was no iron or kitchen facilities in the room, but a kettle and bar fridge were available. There were not many restaurants nearby open after 7-8pm (would recommend getting dinner in town prior to coming back to the hotel in the evening if possible). Overall it was a convenient and wonderful stay.
• Tara (10/5): - The staff went far and beyond to provide the best services and assistance. Laura gave us very detailed instructions on how to get around the area. Their rooms are very cute and clean. Breakfast was delicious. Laura even arranged an earlier breakfast for us, so we could catch the early bus/ferry. We really appreciated their assistance and will come back soon. The location is great, just 2 minutes to San Giovani ferry and 5 minutes from bus station.
• Aladdin (10/5): - The lady who checked us in, she was the nicest lady in the world, friendly happy and helpful a lot. The whole place is wonderful to stay in.
• Yalda (10/5): - Great stay and rooms had AC!
• Susanne (10/5): - I can't say enough about this property and the women that run it. It's clean and a close location to Bellagio, but when we got off at the wrong bus stop in pouring rain, Laura arranged for a coworker to come pick us up and bring us to the hotel. She also gave us a ride into Bellagio and helped to get our boat tour to be re-arranged. Amazing! Our room had a fantastic view and the breakfast was the best of our entire week in Europe. Five stars all the way for this place and the amazing Laura.
• Elizabeth (10/5): - Nicely out of town and quiet. Staff were super friendly and couldn’t do enough to help.
• JUNIOR (10/5): EXCEPTIONAL - The service was beyond exceptional. The room was very comfortable and quiet, very good breakfast. We loved our stay and can’t wait to return.
• John (10/5): - The location is quiet. There is a ferry location about 150 yards from the hotel and you don’t have to deal with the crowds in Bellagio. Room was clean and the breakfast was great. To get to our room there were 2 flights of steps. Bellagio is about a mile walk from the hotel. Nice quiet location
• RICK (10/5): - Very clean with a good location near the waterfront. Friendly staff with a great breakfast.
• LOIS (10/5): - This was a wonderful quaint place by the lake. There is walking up the stairs, but very doable for most of us. Nice little walk down to the lake very good restaurant on the same block. It is in a tucked away street so it is very safe and quiet, but we did walk to And from Bellagio uphill so be ready
• Rita (8/5): - To be honest I was a little concerned about staying here as I received a message saying if we couldn’t get parking at the bottom of the road, we should park in the next nearest car park and when I looked that car park up it was full of people saying their cars had been broken into within minutes of parking there! However, I need not have been so concerned as we easily got parking within a 100 yards from the property and suffered no damage to our little two seater. The accommodation itself was very good, the two ladies dealing with everything were very friendly and helpful and breakfast offered a wide range of delights, we didn’t try everything but the cakes and fresh fruit etc were delicious. I am glad we chose the Bellagio area instead of Como as it was very pretty and much quieter, so we felt safe walking around the streets, while when we drove through Como it was very crowded both with people and vehicles. My only regrets were that we didn’t have more time as it looked like a lovely place to explore and that there were a limited number of places to eat as the main restaurant on the front was completely closed but we did find a café in a back street so managed to get a slice of pizza, we didn’t venture much further as we are in our 70’s, the roads around the accommodation are really steep and I managed to fall over on a pile of wet leaves that were hiding a camber on the road so damaged my knee.
• Lisa (10/5): - Spacious rooms and bathroom also very clean. Breakfast was amazing and host was extremely helpful and informative. Would highly recommend to anyone!
• David (10/5): - This was a great, quiet and well appointed apartment. It is about a mile away from the hub of Bellagio, but walkable and a very short drive with lots of parking. The staff was very friendly, and helpful. Very close to the lake too!
• Lynne (10/5): - Excellent location away from the hustle and bustle of Bellagio town. 30 minute walk in to town or land train runs in and out regularly. Also right by ferry pier. Breakfast was good with good choice and staff were all very helpful. Kettle was provided with tea and coffee in room. Good fish restaurant close by and a launderette. Hotel was good value for money. Would certainly stay again.
• Jessica (10/5): - Great place and great location.
• Sylvie (10/5): - Wow wow wow!!! Beautiful area, very nice and comfortable room. Excellent breakfast. Would definitely recommend ❤️
• Florence (10/5): - Very comfortable space
• Keith (8/5): - Don’t be put off by the area and the outside view. Our apartment was very clean. There are two good restaurants within a few minutes walk. Buses and a Road Train take you into Ballagiio for a few euros, but we walked it twice in 25 mins. Easy parking locally (free).
• Sergiy (10/5): - Great location, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff
• PAVLI (10/5): - Everything was lovely!
• Sebastián (10/5): - Absolutely fantastic 5 stars accomodation. Highly recommended
• Deborah (10/5): Best BnB in Italy - Everything was excellent from room to breakfast and all in between. Laura was a helpful and perfect host. Highly recommend.
• nathan (4/5): - lousy appartment, mis leading picture of the beach, as if its theirs..its a poor apartment with no lift, not fit for tourist of our class.. we left the room..
• Rumeel (10/5): - Good location and good breakfast. Laura is excellent hostess and very helpful. Surely recommend in Bellagio.
• Alissa (10/5): - The place is so clean , free breakfast is fresh , quality food , Laura is so accommodating and fast with responses to questions .
• Ariunzaya (10/5): - It was a magical place to stay. I wish I could have stayed here for longer.
• Philippa (10/5): Gorgeous guesthouse! - A beautiful guesthouse, super clean, comfy bed, spacious room with a delicious breakfast served each morning. About a 20 walk down into the town center, highly recommend!!
• Paul (10/5): - Convenient to Bellagio. Next to San Giovanni ferry stop. Awesome breakfast. Romantic hideaway. Easy check in. Recommended
• Britta (10/5): - This is a little gem on Como Lake. We very much enjoyed our stay. It is in perfect walking distance to a Cafe on the beach. We'd love to come back some day. Britta & Parker from Colorado, USA
• John (10/5): Lovely! - Great stay! Would definitely recommend. The pictures do not do the hotel justice. Spacious, comfortable, clean rooms with AC and wifi. Parking and breakfast available. About 25 minute walk to downtown Bellagio.
• Christopher (10/5): Wonderful B&B - Very nice bed and breakfast - room was large with full bath included, had A/C, great breakfast. about a 1 1/2 mile trek into Bellagio, but not a bad walk at all. Very happy with our stay at alocanda della Maria
• Shantanu (8/5): - Excellent service especially in helping us find taxis at critical times. Good rooms. But inconvenient location- should not be categorized as a Bellagio hotel when it is 30 min walk away. Transportation quite inconvenient, had to wait for 30-120 minutes to get on to a bus to Como. Also no help in getting luggage up to 3rd floor, it was very difficult to operate without elevator. Taxis very expensive. We should have selected a Bellagio hotel.
• Jorge (8/5): Nice - Nice and clean, but nobody in the building during the day
• Todd (10/5): - The staff was very friendly and accomodating. The room was clean, nice and quiet and the ferry on the lake stopped there. The price was good. I recommend this for a couple who wants a nice quiet vacation.
• Jeffrey E. van der (10/5): - Everything was perfect!!!!!!
• Kathleen (10/5): - The hotel was wonderful. We had a room with a view of the lake. The accommodations were all top notch. The surrounding areas were beautiful with a great walking path around the lake, by the river, and through old town. It’s safe and easy to ex0lore and shop. Highly recommend.
• Marina (10/5): - Very good
• Richard (10/5): - This was a great place and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Enjoyable stay - The room is clean and spacious. The beds are firm and comfortable, the pillows are a bit too bulky for us but it’s a personal preference. The furniture, in my opinion, look outdated, but again some guests may like the “antique” types of furnishings. The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood and one block from the lake. There’s a ferry dock with limited service. Breakfast offers fresh fruits, hard boiled eggs, cold meats, cheeses, yogurt, delicious cakes and hot beverages. The hostess, Laura, is extremely helpful, so is her assistant, Giovanna(?)! The place is charming. We enjoyed our stay.
• Soheil (10/5): Locanda della Maria stay - The rooms were fabulous. It is reasonably priced for not being in the center of the city. Breakfast was more than adequate. Checking in was a bit hard, since this is a bed and breakfast place without a registration desk.
• Radha (10/5): - The host was wonderful. She offered us a ride to the ferry free of charge. Very kind and helpful. My only issue was that the shower was so tiny, you could barely turn around
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Friendly and helpful staff. Close to a playground and beach.
• Monique (10/5): - We had the best time at this cute BNB. The daily buffet breakfast was a great way to start the day. The place was impeccably clean. It is located close to the biggest/best beach in all of Bellagio.
• meir (8/5): - I like the stuff very nice people but the location very limited and far from the city big mistake we did come with car
• Zoran (10/5): - Nice location.Staff was very helpful and nice.
• Vishal (10/5): - Nice to be a bit removed from the busty centre. The host is incredibly helpful and really cares for her guests.
• laurie (6/5): - Have to unload car then park down the hill (free). A bit noisy when people come up and down stairs. Nice breakfast. A/C was good. Helpful staff. Not really located near any restaurants that you can walk to. Have to take car and hope to find a parking spot on narrow, windy road. There is a deli nearby and a restaurant, but it was closed the two nights we were there. Recommend Silvio restaurant up the hill connected to a hotel. Room was nice and clean.
• Ann (8/5): - property itself is great, clean, spacious and quiet with a nice breakfast, though a bit pricey for the location as It is a mile away from the actual city of Bellagio.
• Jeanette (10/5): - Great place to stay. We loved the idea of being in a neighborhood that helped us relate to local life.
• Nevada (10/5): - This was a great gem. Only downside is if you book the Carmen room, it is an attic that has been converted to a room, so I ended up walking around like a hunch back and banging my head onto the low beams. So just be aware when you book. Otherwise, the ladies were phenomenal and helpful and breakfast was delicious. Definitely would stay there again, in a normal room.
• Rodica (8/5): - We had very pleasant stay.Super clean,great communication ,easy accessible by ferry to see all villages around lake Como. Parking is a plus just one minute away. Thank you 🙏!
• James (10/5): - Staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was excellent.
• Barbara (10/5): - Very nice room. The room was fully prepared for us. The second bed we needed was pulled out and prepared for our daughter. The in attractions to get in were very clear and precise. Breakfast and coffee in the morning was very good. Love the. Soap in the r bathroom. Such a great smell. The room was beautiful and comfortable. Lake Como is a must see. So beautiful.
• Sandro (10/5): - Stayed for one night! Place is impeccable with a smooth self check in; Laura, the owner, day before check in provided all the info and it was so easy! She was also very responsive to any questions and helpful. The breakfast is very good and tasty! Overall i would definitely recommend this B&B…i give it a 5*****!
• Anthony (10/5): - Very nice breakfast
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great property and price - Only stayed one night and found the property with little difficulty. Location is agood walk but short drive to Bellagio. The property is beautiful and comfortable, very clean and well maintained property. The self check- in easy and quick. Parking offsite workable once you learn to navigate area. Road is narrow but fine just be careful. We had a group of 8 and used four rooms. I'd stay here again and recommend highly if you enjoy quality B&Bs.
• Adrian (10/5): Excellent value for money, Recommended - Great service both before (regarding self check-in and parking) and during our stay, many thanks Laura. Excellent breakfast
• Tracy (10/5): Perfect Spot for Lake Como Weekend - Perfect location for a long weekend on Lake Como! From the top-story apartment we stayed in, we had spectacular views of the lake and the local church. Laura and her staff were a pleasure to deal with! Breakfast was scrumptious. We loved the location - a little off the beaten trail, but easy to walk to Bellagio or to catch a boat, bus, or mini-train.
• John (10/5): Nice stay - Nice place and very friendly host. Check in went without problems. Located a few km outside of Bellagio town center.
• José A (10/5): - Clean, quit facilities .Friendly staff.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Incredibly friendly. Great breakfast. Best croissants my husband and I have ever had.
• Leslie (10/5): - Very charming spot in a quiet, quaint town just a short walk to Bellagio. Very friendly and helpful proprietors, and nice breakfast. Highly recommend.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - My stay here was excellent - the woman that greeted us at reception was very friendly and helpful, giving us lots of tips about the area and transport. The town itself (officially San Giovanni) is small and quiet, and it is about 25 - 30 mins walk from the centre of Bellagio. There is a small continental breakfast available which was also a bonus. It is possible to take a tourist train or bus to Bellagio but you can't do so after 6pm so must either walk or take an Uber/taxi (if it is available - which is unlikely). I personally enjoyed the walk very much but it is important to know this when booking as it does state on the website that it is in Bellagio which is not the case. The thing I liked about San Giovanni is that it is much quieter and more peaceful than Bellagio. There is a small, very nice beach with a bar which is about a 5 minute walk from the accommodation - I don't think there is any beach in Bellagio (at least not that I saw). We still spent time in Bellagio (which is a gorgeous town), walking around and having dinner but then could escape back to San Giovanni for a more quiet vibe. If I go back to Lake Como, I'll definitely be booking at Locanda della Maria again!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing location. Friendly informative staff. Great room with spectacular views.
• Ty (10/5): - Bruno was an absolute delight. He was very helpful and kind.
• Stephanie (10/5): Beautiful BnB with the best customer service! - This little gem is just outside the main area of Bellagio but is absolutely beautiful. The host Bruno, goes above and beyond to make your stay amazing, he is clearly so passionate about looking after his guests. It only takes about ten minutes to the main area of the town which is a nice break from the hustle and bustle.
• Gill (10/5): - We had a lovely stay. The manager, Bruno looked after us very well and was very helpful. The location is good although there is a 20 minute walk to Bellagio. We were happy with this and there is a bus stop nearby so you don't need to walk. The breakfasts were good also. The real bonus for us was the access to use a private beach on the lake with sun beds which was only a short walk away, A great place to stay
• ALEX (10/5): Small and modern inside, old wold charm outside - Just outside Bellagio, this FULLY updated and remodeled B&B score high on all major points: Location, lake swim access, WiFi signal, shower size and water flow, A/C strength and sound insulation. Checkin was a breeze and Bruno is super nice. He is the owner and you can tell he takes pride in his business. Everything is well executed from design, to quality to breakfast. You won't go wrong staying here. Plus, the lake boat bus as a stop right outside the building, giving you access to ALL the towns on Lago Como
• John (10/5): - This was a lovely hotel - our room had a view to the lake and mountains, and we woke up to the sound of the birds singing. Everything was spotless. Excellent breakfast and an entertaining host. We had our own car (free parking) - it might be a little far for anyone who had to walk to Bellagio to eat. But the walk was beautiful, especially if you went via the Villa Melzi (ticket good for the whole day so you can walk back the same way). If you like gardens this was already on your list! We were very happy with this accommodation.
• Helen (10/5): Lovely hotel in quiet area - This is a lovely little hotel. The room was very clean and quiet, and the breakfast was excellent. Bruno (owner/manager??) was extremely helpful and friendly. The only negative is that it's about a 25 minute walk from Bellagio along narrow roads which isn't great in the dark, however a taxi only takes a few minutes. There is also a ferry from very near the hotel to Bellagio but it only runs a few times a day. There aren't many restaurants nearby, but if you're looking for a quieter location or have a car this is ideal. The Wifi wasn't very good in the rooms.
• Kathy (10/5): Very nice hotel in a quiet location - This hotel is outside Bellagio so less tourists and hustle and bustle. The room was beautiful and very clean . Bruno the manager speaks very good English and was very helpful . He even drove us into town so we would not miss our ferry! I highly recommend this hotel !
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Everything was fantastic, cleanest hotel ever, Bruno is the host/ owner is the best. He goes out of his way to show you things around the area and help you enjoy your stay.
• vera (8/5): Great hotel - if you have a car - The only drawback to this hotel - and it is a big one if you don't have a car - is that it is a considerable distance from Bellagio. It is at least a half hour walk from the center. There is a ferry stop nearby, but it is a secondary one and not every ferry stops there. Also, there is only a single fish restaurant nearby- no cafes or places to sit and have a glass of wine or a coffee. No laundry. Otherwise it is fantastic. Clean, bright rooms. Delicious breakfast. Wonderful staff, beautiful location near the water. We would recommend it highly to anyone with a car or to anyone who wants a quiet place a distance from town.
• Beatriz (10/5): Great B&B close to Bellagio - The room was nice, clean and spacious. The bathroom was very clean and big too. We had a great continental breakfast the morning after we checked in. Bruno was an awesome host, help us with our trip back to Milan. He planned and printed out an itinerary that included exact times for ferry, trains and all the connections we needed to make in order to make our flight from Milan Malpensa early in the morning, He did all this while we enjoyed the day in Bellagio,. He even had someone pick us up at 6;00am to drive us to the ferry stop. That was extremely nice of him. Thank you Bruno, for making our short stay in Bellagio an amazing one!! Grazie
• jessica (10/5): Super cute hotel right next to the lake - The hotel is definitely recommendable and I would always come back to this cute little place. Also the hotel owner Bruno is the nicest and most caring host I've ever experienced. All in all 10 out of 10.
• Brittany (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Lake Como - Absolutely loved my experience at Locanda Della Maria. During my search for a hotel in Lake Como, I found most of the accommodations to be outdated and super expensive. Locanda Della Maria is not only extremely affordable relative to other options, but it is contemporary and very clean! AC works great and a fantastic breakfast is included (coffee, fruits, cereals, croissants, breads, meats, cheeses, and cakes). It is about a 20 minute walk to Bellagio but you can take a water taxi for under 2 euro to get there and if the timing doesn't work with your schedule, you can take a taxi for 10 euro. The water taxi connects to all of the major towns on the lake so it's a perfect base. Bruno was an excellent host! Kind and helpful with a great sense of humor. I'd recommend Locanda Della Maria to anyone looking for a reasonably priced hotel on Lake Como!
• Vicki (10/5): Great location and lovely place to stay - Really good location if you want to be within walking distance of Bellagio town centre (approx a 30 minute walk) but also want some peace and quiet as San Giovanni itself is a lovely, peaceful part of Bellagio. If you visit the Villa Melzi gardens, this gives you a more direct route to the town centre and tickets are valid all day so you can use it as a shortcut back to the hotel (open until 6.30pm, April to October). The hotel itself was fantastic and Bruno was a great host. There's also a good range of food offered at breakfast which we were very happy with. Would definitely stay again.
• lubna (10/5): Nice clean hotel close to the beach - The hotel is located in a quiet area very close to the beach and to the ferry station, seven minutes away driving to the city center. We stayed three nights, the room was spacious and clean, the breakfast was very good. Bruno,The hotel manager, was very welcoming and helpful. Defiantly I will stay again in this hotel.
• A (10/5): Great hotel in San Giovanni, near Bellagio - Locanda della Maria is a great hotel on Lake Como. It is very near the San Giovanni ferry stop, that runs about 4 times per day. If coming from Varenna, save yourself a 10 euro cab ride to the hotel and take the ferry to San Giovanni. The room was very spacious and clean, the bathroom was good size and Bruno is a very nice host. Breakfast was excellent, and the air conditioning and wifi worked great. It took about 20 minutes to walk to Bellagio from the hotel, and I would not recommend doing it with bags. The road is pretty narrow in places and the lake is blocked for most of the walk. Definitely do-able though. There is only 1 restaurant in San Giovanni and it was fully booked the night we arrived, so definitely plan to eat in Bellagio. This was a really nice stay on Lake Como.
• Andrew (10/5): Great little B&B - We stayed for only one night and were a little surprised at how difficult it was to gt transport from Bellagio to the hotel! there are no taxis but we subsequently discovered (after getting a lift from a friend of a waiter) that the local tourist road train and the ferry also went to San Giovanni (where the B&B is)! anyway the B&B was very clean, had full A/C, 4 english TV channels, well organised, breakfast was very good and Bruno could not be more attentive or helpful. We would definitely stay again.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Lovely B & B in a quiet location. - We stayed two nights. Bruno is a delightful cheerful host, and an excellent baker of sweet things to boot! The B & B is in San Giovanni just on the outskirts of Bellagio, about 2.2km on foot. There is a water taxi stop right out the front of the hotel which is a lovely way to have a small tour of the closest villages. 15€for an all day ticket. The facilities were very good (except for the hair dryer which would have taken an hour if I had had the patience). The bed was comfort +, Bruno says the mattresses get renewed every year. The bathroom beautiful, colourful Italian tiles. We had a first floor room, windows are all double glazed so the noise from any traffic on the cobble stones was no problem. All in all we loved our stay and would return.
• Himmat (6/5): Satisfactory hotel, too far from town center - Hotel is too far from center to be convenient, about 35 minutes, up and down, need taxis which are not readily available, very small tight shower, breakfast subpar with no eggs, artificial juices, etc
• steven (10/5): Excellent hotel - Very nice small hotel. Excellent breakfast. Room very good. Location quiet but 1min walk from ferry stop. Only downside was not many places to eat of an evening. Would stay again.
• Michael (10/5): Great Stay - Great, small hotel. We enjoyed our stay and the hospitality of the owner.
• Debby (10/5): - Absolutely loved it here. Meticulous! The owner was so nice and accommodating!
• Verified traveler (6/5): clean and friendly but sadly not so convenient - nice stay and surprisingly closer to the San Giovani ferry wharf than we anticipated but too far away from services. Bellagio is a ferry ride, a bus ride or a 30 minute walk (much on roads). very difficult to find ways to travel to the place, but very friendly, tidy and regularly serviced
• chris (10/5): The hotel is immaculate and charming. - Simply amazing place run by an incredible man named Bruno. He does it all: checks you in; asks what you want to do; connects you to people, places and activities; he sets out a beautiful breakfast and paints landscapes of Bellagio on wine bottles. The hotel is south of Bellagio about 1 mile so is not touristy or commercial. Very quiet and restful.
• Rita (10/5): Quiet and quaint off the beaten path. - We had a lovely stay. We arrived in Bellagio after hours, and a wonderful note was left so we could easily access our room. We were starving after a long day of travel and had a bit of a walk to find a restaurant, but the scenery was so beautiful we didn't mind at all. Breakfast in the morning was incredible with homemade apple strudel and other pastries, along with a nice array of other options.
• VW (10/5): Beautiful hidden gem! - The whole experience was wonderful; Bruno is an amazing host, the breakfast is very good, location is beautiful, rooms are spacious and very clean and just minutes away from Bellagio center. Definitely will return with my family.
• Sonal (10/5): Great location and 20 mins walk from centre - Quiet and great location from busy, noisy and overpriced centre. Was single female travelling on my own but felt safe and the b&b manager was accommodating, helpful and very knowledgeable. Would definitely go back.
• Winfried (10/5): Great location - Bruno was very helpful and organised. The breakfast was great and the room was clean. The dock was so close and it was so easy to get the other towns. Overall: EXCELLENT!
• Marea (8/5): Step back in time. - A perfect location for relaxing by the lake. The host Bruno was extremely helpful and welcoming. We loved being outside of the port of Bellagio. Be mindful that it is a half hour walk from town. The B&B is in St Giovanni a very tiny, one restaurant and one local store town. You have access to a small, private beach which is a ten minute walk from the hotel with beautiful vistas. The breakfast is plentiful with a wide selection of foods. Our room was very large and comfortable but a little dark. The air conditioning was very good and the bathroom was large. The bath towels were more like large Tea Towels but did the job. I'd definitely recommend this place for a relaxing short stay.
• Madras (8/5): A little far away. - Nice stay. Good breakfast. €10 for taxi from bellagio
• Verified traveler (8/5): Hotel is a hidden gem. - Hotel is a hidden gem for the price! Bruno the inn keeper could not have been nicer or more helpful. Easy parking (we had a car) childrens park/ swingset etc just a few steps away (travelled w our 5 yr old) Approx 1 mile walk to center of Bellagio. easy trip going to town, exhausting on way back. No pool & shower tiny otherwise perfect!!
• Pete (10/5): Nice property in San Giovanni - We had a very pleasant three night stay only marred by some unexpected bad weather at the beginning. Ideally you need to have your own transport if you stay here
