The booking for this two night stay was made by a third part so I’m unable to comment on value but the quality of the stay was superb, mainly due to the it’s staff. Rita (owner) replied to an email sent pre arrival and arranged for a taxi to meet us from the train station as we were arriving quite late and out of season. We were then met by Kirsty, part of the hotels team who booked us in. We also had arranged with Rita an evening meal on arrival. It was a local festival day and the family and friends were all enjoying a supper together, we were made to feel very welcome by all. The homemade ravioli, followed by braised beef was washed down with local red wine. We were allocated a room in one of the four around the pool, a good-sized, spotless room which is well thought out with all the little extras that you might need. (Iron, umbrellas/fridge with bottled water, welcome bottle of wine/tea + coffee and in the decent size bathroom even a washing machine, detergent provided) There is a collective poolside patio outside the room for the four poolside rooms, which is well positioned with olive trees and catches the afternoon sun. Being out of season and not many places open we very grateful to Rita in providing us an ample breakfast at no extra charge both mornings. Accessing the lakeside and main town area, there is a footpath that drops 800m+ into the centre, trainers/boots recommended, it took 15 minutes descending + 25 to walk back up. The view is superb out over the lake. We caught a local ferry (9€ pp) across to Menaggio (15minute crossing) which have stunning views out over the lake. Again due to most places being shut we opted for Rita’s homemade cooking on the second night, again it was delicious. A huge thank you to Rita and her team/family for making us feel so welcome, we throughly enjoyed our stay with you.
