Palazzo del Vicerè

This is the second time that we have stayed in the past few years. It small family run hotel is simply outstanding The location is perfect between Bellagio and Como if you wish to have a more busier evening you can easily do this, yet the hotel itself offers you absolute tranquility, stylish sophistication, comfort and just purely stunning beyond belief. We booked this hotel for our wedding 5 years ago and in our opinion it left all of the other 5 star hotels standing. We have gone back recently as a celebration and it was just perfect at every level. The owner Laura is desperately proud of this property (and rightly so) and we watched as she placed freshly cut flowers every morning and paid attention to every detail. Ariana - the perfect manager and her staff just cannot do enough to welcome you and make your stay perfect To stay that this hotel is outstanding just does not give it enough justice Perfect in every way

The property is wonderful and I believe does not have many recent reviews as it was closed and remodeled again during COVID. What an amazing find in Lezzenno at Lake Como. My husband and I like to travel in style and this is a special 2.5 week trip to Italy and we are staying in each place for fairly long periods of time (4-5 nights, 4 locations). The other three places are are also small and upscale, but are either part of exclusive known groups such as relais chateaux or recommended by someone we trust. For Palazzo, we took a chance and so glad we did. There are only 6 rooms-ours is very large-like an apartment with a kitchenette and large bathroom with laundry and amazing views of the Lake and small beach area. We are one house from the lake with large windows and unobstructed views and the Palazzo has a private and very nice beach area with lounge chairs and shower area about a 5-7 min walk down a beautiful path from the property. Arianna is the innkeeper and she is such a pleasant and positive person and makes everything even better, if that is possible. Lezzeno is not as known as Bellagio, a 12 min drive away, and we enjoyed it thoroughly. If you stay here, be sure to have Arianna make you reservations at the Stone House on at least one night for dinner. Casual restaurant and the food is wonderful. Back to our room-La Torre-we loved it and we could see ourselves buying a similar small place to spends weeks at a time enjoying Lezzenno. The room was spotless, which is important to me. No lake room from bedroom-the bed is very comfortable abs the rooms are quiet and you do not hear any other guest noise at all as the walls of this magnificent grand old residence are thick. The breakfast buffett is lovely and the cappuccino, coffee and espresso is made fresh to order, along with any egg requests- my husband had a fried egg and I had an one-egg omelet with ham each morning. Drawbacks-and I would not even want to mention-except important for people with accessibility challenges to know-this is probably not the accommodation for you. La Torre and one other room are on the 3rd floor and you have to carry bags up there. Also parking is challenging. There is a public lot about 200 meters away and that is the only parking for this property. There is no where to drop your bags and then park. You need to park in the public parking and carry your bags from there. I would say pack as light as possible as the path is also ancient and rocky and not made for roller bags and you need to carry your bag. You do not need much- sandals, a swim suit, and something to wear to dinner. We took the ferry from Lezzenno to Lenno and had a wonderful time exploring all the towns by ferry and water taxi. We had our car, but only used it sparingly for the 4 nights we were in town as we found the bus system and ferries to be great. There is a bus stop right near the parking lot. Try this property if you would like a wonderful location, unique experience, lovingly restored ar

Très belle demeure magnifiquement restaurée et située dans un magnifique cadre près du lac. Personnel très accueillant et sympathique. Chambre calme et confortable. Agréable promenade à pied au bord du lac. Excellent petit déjeuner. Point faible: un peu de marche dans une charmante ruelle piétonne pour accéder à l'hôtel. Point fort: parking voiture assuré! (très rare à Lezzeno...).

À notre arrivée nous étions charmés par l’accueil attentionné et gentil d’Ariana, et par la bâtisse joliment restauré par le propriétaire. Hélas les déconvenues se sont vite dévoilées: Une situation géographique difficile: A 10 km de Bellagio nous ne pouvons y accéder en voiture car impossible de se garer. L’embarcadère pour le bateau se trouve à 1 km à pied sur une route sinueuse à double sens et sans trottoir. D’autre part il y a peu de bateaux qui desservent Bellagio et les autres destinations. Ça s’arrête en plus à 19h.Les horaires ne nous sont pas d’ailleurs donnés spontanément par l’hôtel il faut les demander. Pour notre 1ere visite à Bellagio Ariana nous a gentiment accompagnés ( c’était sur son chemin) mais pour le retour 1 h d’attente pour le car toujours bondé. L’hôtel manque de personnel. À partir de 13h il n’y a plus personne. Nous n’avons pas trouvé la plage avec transats qui se trouve paraît-il près de l’hôtel. Aucune possibilité d’ailleurs dans l’après-midi de prendre un snack ou quelque chose. Pas d’épicerie d’ailleurs à proximité, le village dont on nous parle est inexistant. Des rues désertes. On nous dit que c’est un Bed and breakfast; d’accord mais dans ces conditions on ne paie pas une chambre même avec vue sur le lac à 400€. Nous y sommes restés 2 nuits soient 800€. Et pour seul geste commercial on nous fait payer 2 petites bouteilles d’eau à 4 euros. La seule explication sur le prix était la taxe élevée de Booking et la vue sur le lac de notre chambre. C’est sûr qu’une chambre avec vue sur un mur doit être moins cher. En un mot l’habit ne fait pas le moine! Une expérience décevante
