Our stay at the Bellavista Boutique Hotel in Brunate was memorable. The hotel offers absolutely breathtaking views that really set it apart from any hotel down in Como. The staff were exceptionally warm and attentive, always going the extra mile to make sure we felt welcome. The hotel has an old world charm and is a really unique place to stay. The drive up to Brunate is a bit challenging but arriving at the top is worth it!

Charming hotel with a great view.

The hotel is set in a small village on the top of a hill overlooking Lake Como. The view is gorgeous, the restaurant was awesome and the staff are so lovely. I didn’t find the room particularly comfortable but we stayed in the least expensive room so perhaps the more expensive ones are a bit cozier. Our room was very basic and a bit run down but it’s an old building and has a lot of charm. Overall, it’s lovely but if you want luxury, I would recommend upgrading your room to a suite. Thanks to the hotel staff for the warm welcome!

Nice hotel. Old but this is what gives it some charm. Easiest way to it was funicular. Had to queue for 90 minutes to get on it the Saturday we arrived. Pre-Book ticket and bypass the line.

It was so beautiful. Old world style but with everything you’d need. The view is unbeatable and the location right next to the Funiculare station means you don’t have to worry about how to get up and down the enormous hill. The staff are so friendly and helpful. It was a joy to stay. Wish we’d stayed longer.

Such a wonderful stay. Staff were really friendly, room was gorgeous, view was stunning. Felt clean but vintage and stylish. Food at the restaurant and at breakfast were lovely. If you're driving it might be easier to park in Como and get the furnacular up as it's literally right next to it and saves navigating up the hill. If I could give more than 5* I would!

Amazing views! I recommend having a dinner at their restaurant and booking it in advance. Friendly staff. I would love to stay there again. We drove there and our navigaation did not recognize the easiest route the first time. I recommend double checking that if you go by car. Funicular was super close and easy to use, but there were huge lines coming back from Iseo, so if you use that then reserve enough time.

Vi havde fornøjelsen af at tilbringe nogle dage på et hotel i Brunate ved Como søen, og jeg må sige, at det var en mindeværdig oplevelse. Beliggenheden er simpelthen betagende med en smuk udsigt over hele como søen, som virkelig sætter prikken over i’et. Hotellet er ældre og har en særlig charme, som man ikke finder mange steder længere. Det har en flot, historisk atmosfære, men man skal være opmærksom på, at der ikke er aircondition, hvilket kunne være en udfordring på varme dage. Værelset, vi boede i, var ret småt, men de smukke omgivelser kompenserer bestemt for dette. Maden på hotellet var en sand fornøjelse. Selvom priserne måske er lidt høje, er det tydeligt, at der er lagt vægt på kvalitet og gode råvarer. Morgenmaden var også dejlig og fyldig, hvilket gav en god start på dagen. En stor fordel er, at man nemt kan komme ned til Como søen via en lift (telekabin) 6,50 € retur , hvilket gør det let at nyde alt, hvad området har at byde på. Alt i alt et dejligt hotel, der virkelig gør opholdet ved Como søen til en fornøjelse. Jeg vil især fremhæve Raffaella, damen i receptionen, som var utrolig sød, dejlig, imødekommende og meget hjælpsom. Hendes varme velkomst og venlighed gjorde virkelig en forskel for vores ophold.
