Lovely views but…….,

Fantastic views from hotel room and very convenient for the funicular. On downside the staff were rushed off their feet and my partner dubbed it the “do it yourself” hotel as our room wasn’t cleaned, we had to go to bar to collect coffee and cutlery at breakfast. The bottle of Prosecco we were given when we left would have been a lovely touch if we weren’t flying home with no checked luggage- it would have meant more on arrival!

To get there you have to drive up some seriously steep narrow winding roads, only to find out that there are charges for their parking spot and breakfast which are not worth the cost.

Well located in Brunate

The hotel is well located overlooking Como City and we had a glimpse of Lake Como from our Balcony. I got the feeling that the albergo was just wakening from it’s winter slumber as there were few signs of activity in the restaurant or bar and certainly no locals around. However the hotel and Brunate thanks to the very handy funicular makes an excellent base for discovering the Lake Como area.

Seven day stay in Albergo Vista Largo

The road to Brunate is very steep with extremely tight bends. You can get to the hotel by Train and Funicular if you want Our room (22) although very clean was very cramped and not suitable for a seven night stay. Opening the wardrobe doors was impossible along with draws. There was no place to sit around a table to drink or read. No drink making facilities in the room. This was very bad due to breakfast service starting at 8am. A very modern large TV but no English speaking station at all. Only Italian terrestrial TV. This is very poor in comparison to almost any hotel in Italy. There was only a shower in the bathroom which was also tiny. Very basic soap and body wash. We travel to italy a lot and this room is very poor in comparison to the many we have stayed in Breakfast was very limited either tea, orange juice and a croissant for €5. Or an omelette can be served in addition for €10 per person. The breakfast room or dinning room was clean and not pleasant to eat in. It seems to cater for customers coming up on the funicular railway for a snack. You would not eat your evening meal in the hotel It's a clean hotel with pleasant staff but not in any way homely or inviting to the guest BE WARNED THE HOTEL SOMETIMES CLOSES VERY EARLY AND YOU ARE GIVEN A KEY TO ACCESS VIA A SIDE ENTRANCE. THE LOCK IS A BIT FIDDLELY IN THE LATE EVENING. There are no staff on site during the night and we were given the catering mangers phone number in an emergency.

Quiet & Clean Hotel

We stayed here as an alternative to the overpriced hotels in near Lake Como. The hotels location is great in terms of being right up the street from the funicular. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. The room does not have air conditioning but a staff member was nice enough and accommodated us with a fan. The wifi isn't great, doesn't work well at night but is great during the morning. The little town of Brunate is beautiful but you can see most of it in two hours. All together it was a nice stay.

Out of the Way Location

We stayed at this hotel during early July. Getting to this hotel is somewhat of an adventurous drive through some narrow, steep, and twisty road. The hotel is OK and has some great views, but could use some modernizing. Food in the restaurant was also OK, but not great. Parking is very limited and difficult to come by. The cable car ride down to Como is a cool experience.

Brilliant - definitely coming aback!

I had such a great time - all i wanted to do was drink wine, eat food and rest after a hectic week of travelling across northern Italy, and that's exactly what i got! Thanks to Ralph and the team for making it so easy and relaxing for me!

Amazing view...top of the world!

There isn't anything about Brunate & Como that we don't love. And staying at Vista Lago is the perfect way to enjoy it. The room was clean, cozy, comfortable with a million dollar (euro) view. The owner was very welcoming. We will definitely stay there again!

Considerations before booking

There was no air-conditioning nor fan so keeping balcony doors open is the only relief to summer heat. However, you will notice that there is no net/screen to keep bugs out. Also, there is a Church with a loud bell ringing evety hour for each hour (I.e. 6 times at 6pm). For check ins after 2pm the restaurant manager doubles as the hotel manager, which since there is no formal check-in desk means you just wait at the coffee bar until someone arrives to help you.

Lovely B&B!

This place was simply wonderful! We arrived in the mid afternoon and checked in with no problem. The room was very clean and had a lovely view. We ate at the restaurant downstairs and were very pleased! The same gentleman that checked us in prepared our meal in the kitchen. I had the lasagna and it was delicious! It was very quiet with very few other guests. I wish we had stayed more than one night! They even let us leave our bags in the room and "check out" later!

Spectacular view, exciting drive

The hotel is located in Como suburbia on a mountain overlooking the city of Como and the lake with the surprisingly spectacular view from a balcony of every room (we even stayed extra day because of it). If you are a confident driver, you will share my excitement from the 5-km road from Como to the hotel, and finding a parking spot will be quite an entertaining challenge, since most of the empty spaces that don't block the streets are reserved for the registered residents only. For the reluctant commuter-type drivers I recommend the funicular line that runs from Como center to within 1-minute walk from a hotel (5.50 euros round-trip, operates till midnight in summer). Hotel personnel are inviting and helpful, but they speak only a few words in English. Breakfast is minimal, but it matches the hotel price range. The area is extremely quite at night (some might even say too quite) except for the neighboring church bells in the morning. The town of Como looks much better from the hotel balcony, than it does from the city center. Nice base to make half-day car trips along the shores of lake Como.

Highly recommended

Best place to stay while in Como. 25euro taxi fare from train station, which is a set price. Absolutely a fabulous location, Swiss alps in distance, Como accessable by a venicular with station very close to hotel. Bathroom a bit squeezy but but excellent facilities. Good value for money. Early check out difficult as manager not on site.
