Stefano is a very welcoming host and helped us with fantastic recommendations for hikes and activities. The room was sparkly clean and very modern, with a comfortable bed and AC. It’s beautiful hidden spot and the osteria is fantastic. We enjoyed the tranquility and originality of the location a lot - sights, more restaurants and towns were in easy reach by car.

A shelf from the small shower is badly missing.

The atmosphere of the small village and the property itself was incredible. Like being somewhere a few hundred years ago with all the comforts of our times. But it is all real, not fake, not remade for tourists. It was charming, peaceful, and unique. The owner is also very kind and helpful. The restaurant on site is pleasant. Breakfast is fresh and delicious. Beautiful hiking trail and a very nice waterfall nearby.

The area was beautiful and very close to Lake Como. The guy who welcomed us was very friendly and helped us with a few things. The place was decorated in a cozy, rustic style, very clean and comfortable to sleep in. There’s also a family-owned restaurant connected to the apartment’s owners – we highly recommend it! It’s a local Italian restaurant with excellent food, and honestly, one of the best meals we had in Italy. We’ll definitely be back!

The village was a 30.min uphill walk from Mandello del Lario but there was a taxi if necessary .

A delightful authentic stay in a medieval Italian village . Such an experience being hosted by an Italian family and eating in their family restaurant . The whole atmosphere of the village and the narrow alleyways and views down to Lake Lecco Free parking 50 metres from accommodation .

I loved it all

Absolutely loved my stay here ! Beautiful hosts inside and out. The property is gorgeous in a beautiful setting. Detached yet felt such a connection to the nature and the village. Great coffee and breakfast options each morning. Room was super clean and comfortable (mattresses are on the firmer side but that seems to be common), also beware of noise carrying over easily (I was jet lagged and on the phone all night not realizing my neighbors could hear me all too well). Great travel tips from the host. Oh and dinner was delicious, didn’t realize it wasn’t nightly otherwise I would’ve been a regular while in the area. Would absolutely need a return trip here! Don’t think twice about it. If you want an authentic experience this is it!! And don’t be afraid of the drive or commute, if I did it so can you… ask your host they’re really helpful.

Nothing

We are grateful to the hotel staff for the service we received. Stefano, the owner, was kind, helpful, supportive. We felt in good hands. This is a wonderful place for a relaxing holiday. Family business makes this guest house cozy. The restaurant is so nice to spend an evening after walking. There is good wine, delicious food. We lived near the old tower, which brought a piece of antiquity to our holiday. The room is comfortable, has everything you need. Large common room, where we found a microwave, kettle, wine and whiskey. The owner, Stefano, speaks good English, can help with navigation around the sights. Dear Stefano, Thanks to you, we spent a wonderful holiday near Lake Como.

What’s not to like 😅

Words can’t describe how nice and perfect the place was. From accommodation to surroundings and our host. Perfect for a lake Como base. Food in the restaurant and breakfast .. top class. Stefano a gentleman and the rest of the staff great. The village is so quaint and away from the built up towns in other parts of Como… I could go on 😅 thanks for a perfect stay 👌 a car would be beneficial for where it is but there is a local taxi 🚕

I love everything. It was so quaint and charming. Like a dream!

The hospitality was next-level. We're greeted with a smile and made to feel right at home, even if we were only there for a night. The breakfast was gorgeous and so was the room.

Public transport and taxi availability caused some challenges getting to and from the accommodation. We decided to hire a car part-way through our holiday.

Stefano in particular was extremely welcoming and helpful. Even before we arrived, he answered all our questions promptly. He helped us with transport and dealt with all our requests quickly and with a smile. All of the other staff were polite and friendly too, making us feel very comfortable for the whole of our 6 night stay. Thank you for our lovely stay!

Nothing it was great.

We recently stayed at this beautiful B&B and had an exceptional experience. The medieval village is incredible and wonderfully quiet. The room was immaculate, spacious, and beautifully decorated, providing a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The breakfast was a delightful start to each day, offering a wide variety of delicious and fresh options made on site Including home made jams and muffins, that catered to every taste. Additionally, the host Stefan was incredibly friendly, attentive, and went out of his way to ensure our stay was perfect - goi g above and beyond on many occasions. We highly recommend Alla Torre del Barbarossa and look forward to returning in the future!

Situated in a small medieval village, very charming. Little bit of a walk into the local town by the lake, but not a problem for us. Breakfast very tasty. Room was clean and comfortable. Steffano was very helpful.
