Reviews of Montebello

Superb place with unbelievable views and fantastic pool

You need to eat before you arrive as there is no food available on the property and is a bit out of town so nothing available nearby until after 6/7

Ok

Nice location

Very basic facility but comfortable. lots of restrictions and rules about no food or drink and arrival times and departure time very strict.

Pool looks nice.

No pool towels in the room. Only one towel for 2 persons. Breakfast was selected but was impossible to order. Quite frustrating after a long trip to know you won’t get the breakfast on your first night on your holiday. Rooms could take a renovation for that price.

It was quiet

The owner seemed annoyed we were there and there a lot of restrictions. The kitchen was locked meaning you could not even get a glass of water. We were not offered the option of breakfast. He also mowed the grass on large sit down lawnmower only when we were outside. it felt like we were the intruders. We were not provided with the WIFI and were not allowed to park near the house even though I was disabled.

I don't like anything about these property.

The owner of the property refused me the Air conditioner remote. Even when I asked for the heating system he say no for it also. I have paid for all these services but not allowed to use it. The room is very small and the wardrobe is also very small.

The location

No shampoo

The room is really clean, breakfast was really good! The view from property is exceptional

The staff barely speak English, we have difficulty and misunderstanding. The location is half our walking from the center. Barely seen any place to eat in the neighbourhood and we couldn't eat at the property.

Montebello Lake is an absolute gem on Lake Como, offering SUPER views that’ll have you pinching yourself to believe they're real. Waking up here is like stepping into a postcard, with the lake right there, looking all magical in the morning mist. Then there’s the swimming pool – oh, it’s something else! It’s like your personal piece of paradise, blending right into the lake scenery. The pool's always sparking clean and just the right kind of cool, making every dip unforgettable. And if you’re into nature, you’ve hit the jackpot. The place is surrounded by greenery, making it super easy to step outside and get lost in the beauty of it all. Montebello Lake is more than just a stay – it’s a whole vibe, perfect for chilling and soaking in those good, tranquil feels.

Lovely location away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre. Staff very friendly . Beautiful view.

It was a bit further away from town than expected. But we knew it was up the hill . When we booked

Nice place and view, beautiful house, clean room and very kind owner.

No option for breakfast as we were the only guests.

The property looked exactly like in the photos. Clean and beautiful. Simone and his father were informative and friendly with great customer care. I highly recommend it

This property is beautiful and the view is incredible. The whole place was very clean.

I was part of a larger group who booked the whole villa out for a wedding nearby. I had a few major issues with the property. 1. The amount of rules - there was a massive list of rules at this property including the pool not able to be used in the middle of the day and quite time for the whole villa from 2 pm to 4pm which was very odd (also not clear if you can use the pool in quite time because if not pool cannot be used for most of the day). 2. No breakfast - my booking said breakfast was included but I received a message before checking in with No Breakfast in all caps so very disappointing that when you book it states included but when you arrive it is not provided 3. The owners turned off the fridge and water to the kitchen - this for me was unacceptable to remove basic amenities from the home. We understood there was no cooking in the kitchen however to turn off the water so we could not use the kitchen at all (even to prepare snacks or drinks or clean up after ourselves in shared areas) and the fridge being turned off mean we couldn’t have any cold drinks even water in the middle of summer super disappointing. The place has so much potential however the owners wife made us feel so unwelcome and like a burden when we had booked to be there it was such a let down. The owner himself was lovely but not enough to cancel out his wife’s behaviour.

Beautiful quiet location

The pool has hours you cannot use during the middle of the day (12pm-5pm) which is a shame as this is generally the heat of the day. Found it difficult to get warm water. Aircon needed to be switched on by the owner. Communication prior to checking in was difficult with answers not being provided to continued enquiries after booking

The house is located in a nice and serene setting. The garden looked nice too with a large pool.

Already before arriving we received an email stating the various rules and (in capital letters) a reminder that our booking did NOT INCLUDE breakfast (even though we thought be booked it). Already then we felt these messages (there were several) were gicing off an unwelcome vibe. Once we arrived we were greeted with a payslip and led to our room - without friendly welcome or amenity tour. The room was ok, rather spacious but not the cleanest - we had some dirt on the floor and it felt very dusty (i have allergies and was sneezing the whole time when the window was closed). One day the owner approached us while in the pool (which you cannot use from 12:00-15:00 every day - prime tanning time and which felt super weird), and even when we went in at 11:30 the pool cleaning tool was with us in the pool. He asked us why we did not show up for breakfast as it was prepared for us every day. I reminded him that he actually sent me an email in capital letters saying that our breakfast was not included (??) so make sure you know what you book as also upon check-in nothing about us having breakfast paid was said... It overall just felt like you were watched while there, we received knocks on our door (no idea what for as the rooms were not made; but somebody entered when we were gone?) at ca. 10:00 on saturday morning when trying to sleep in (as on holiday)... Just not what you want while paying so much money. Also, it's ca. 30' welking from the centre so would definitely not recommend without a car. Some tips: - Greet your guests and welcome them properly upon arrival - a small tour of the amenities would be nice too - Skip the rules everywhere - the signs, email and booking message are just not what other B&B's do, are they really all needed? - Clean the pool early mornings or evenings - but not in the middle of the day - Invest in a thorough clean of the room - incl. cupboards, the statues in ours, the floor, under the bed etc.

The room was modern and perfectly clean.The view from the balcony was beautiful.Very stylish.The staff went out of their way to help us.

It is located on a big hill.As we were riding motorbikes we did not want to gear up again.However we were provided a lift into town.Amazing.
