Locanda della Maria

Amazing service! Kind and friendly staff that go out of their way to insure you have a pleasant stay. Thank you, you have made a difference!

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*****!

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.

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.

Great service both before (regarding self check-in and parking) and during our stay, many thanks Laura. Excellent breakfast

Only stayed one night, but it was great. Wonderful room and quiet. Very nice buffet breakfast with the wonderful fresh croissants and local cheese. Our host was wonderful as well. We didn't see the famous Bruno though. Would recommend the tram or a taxi or local bus to get there as it is 0.9 miles mostly uphill from Bellagio with your luggage etc. But it is a lovely scenic walk from their location in San Giovanni to Bellagio. There are some local places to eat nearby, contrary to some reviewers saying there were hardly any. Ittiturismo Ristorante Mella is located almost right next door. NeNe Food is on the small walkway behind the B&B. Riverside snack bar is on Via Alla Spiaggia. Ristorante Silvio and Alle D****ne di Loppia are located a short walk away as well. We would highly recommend this B&B.

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 The furniture, in my opinion, look outdated, but again some guests may like the “antique” types of furnishings.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.

It took a few tries to connect with Laura to confirm our arrival, but once we connected, she couldn't have been a better hostess. The building is charming and we enjoyed the quiet town of San Giovanni. The center of Bellagio is about a mile away and a pleasant walk, though there is also a small train you can catch just about a block away. When we did arrive, Laura kindly welcomed us, showed us our apartment, the breakfast room, and then we accepted her offer of a ride into Bellagio as we wanted to explore the area and were unfamiliar. That was definitely exceptional service! Our apartment was huge, and we loved the space to spread out. We are walkers/ hikers, so didn't mind the steps, but it was about 4 flights up. (Good exercise!) Windows are high in this lovely finished attic apartment and offer gorgeous views on 3 sides. The breakfast was wonderful with meats, eggs, cheeses, fruits, pastries, and more. Just steps away there is an excellent restaurant for dinner that is understated from the outside, but very nice decor inside and serves excellent local food with excellent service. There is also a nice Cafe just around the corner for an afternoon drink and snack. We'd happily return and highly recommend this B&B!
