Reviews of CHALET ANTICO LEGNO by Design Studio

5 star Traditional but brand new, quirky with wow factor

What can you say about this property, but WOW!! We have just stayed, here for 5 nights on our honeymoon.. The property is family run, and it really shows. They have really put their heart and soul into making this a very special place to stay. The rooms are so unique, clean and tidy and exceptionally well designed, air conditioning was ice cold, and very welcomed. The real selling point of this property is the location, it lies 600M up the side of the mountain overlooking Lake Como. The views are stunning, and the setting is one of peace and tranquillity. If you want to escape life and just relax its an excellent choice. The family that run the guesthouse make you feel like part of the family, and the owner Luca while he doesn't speak much English is quick with a joke, and very hospitable. All the facilities Pool, Sauna, Sun Lounges, Jacuzzi etc are all first rate, no expense was spared in outfitting this property. The breakfast given the location was surprisingly good with a wide choice of hot and options! Overall, we will definitely visit this guesthouse again.. Its a little slice of heaven.

So, I want to be absolutely clear about this, There is NOTHING I didn't like about the property/staff or the services etc. This is more a warning, to those that may be less experienced drivers or not have the means of travel to the location of the property. The road to this property is shall we say unusual/difficult. Its a very windy mountain road, single file traffic for the majority of the road, it is full of blind hairpin bends and using your horn to make others drivers aware of your presence is a must, it goes on for nearly 8KM will take around 20 mins to get back to the lake side taking it steady. The locals will do this a little quicker and they seem to have very little regard for life lol.. (Take a look on google maps) The only reason I say this, is there are no shops or restaurants near the property. You will have to tackle the road if you want to go out for dinner etc. That being said the property does offer a shuttle service and are happy to take you wherever you need to go for a small fee.

Absolutely authentic and adorable to stay there. Lovely jacuzzi and sauna until late night. Beautiful view and just lovely people running that place. You can enjoy a full day here at the pool or go out to experience the surroundings

It’s true, the road ist 10-15 min to the lake and curvy but it’s Italy and Como Lake like. That makes that place to what it ist. Usually you plan to go out for dinner at night and there are few restaurants in that area but you have to look for them and you’ll find em. Rather extend dinner plans after you go out for visiting one of the cities around the lake

Chalet Antico is a truly unique retreat that exceeded our expectations in every way. The combination of its serene location, beautifully designed interiors, and thoughtful amenities created an atmosphere of total relaxation and renewal. From the calming views to the cozy, natural materials throughout the space, everything about the property felt intentionally crafted to support wellbeing. It’s a place where you can truly disconnect, breathe deeply, and feel restored.

wow! simply wow. the location is amazing, the breakfast outstanding and the hosts (who live next door) super charming and supportive at first, we thought it is a bit far off the lake but in the end, we loved it. it is the perfect spot for people who love to have an active day and a quiet evening - the view is breathtaking, to be enjoyed from the early morning until late evenings (sundowner past 8pm in August) we went on race cyling tours twice (the place is in the very heart of one of the best race cycling areas in Europe) and hiked the biggest mountain in the region (Legnone) - again, with the chalet being the perfect spot to start your trip at night we went to a recommended restaurant (10 min walking distance) and enjoyed typical local food in a small mountain village we loved it! mille grazie

sometimes a bit noicy - you can easily hear kids through the walls. but...all else was more than making up for it

We loved everything about it. It was a true oasis of peace. The views were breathtaking. Very clean, everything was well-maintained and meticulously maintained. Plenty of greenery. The hosts were very friendly and hospitable, always helpful. The property was very intimate, so there was no "fight" to get to the spa. That's exactly the kind of place I love.

Everything was 10/10. The only minor drawback was the bedding. We love white, and it looked that way in the photos. I think that would be the wow factor. Everything else is great.

From the moment we stepped through the doors, we knew this hotel was something special and the perfect place for our honeymoon. The warm welcome from Luca instantly made us feel like a valued guest rather than just a reservation number. The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and equipped with every comfort We could have wished for . The view from our window and balcony was breathtaking and was exactly how it seemed from the photos advertised. Service here deserves special mention. Every staff member (family member) We encountered radiated genuine hospitality. They went above and beyond to anticipate our needs before we even voiced them. Whether it was arranging transportation, offering local recommendations, or remembering our breakfast order by the second morning, their attention to detail was impeccable. The on-site dining breakfast was an indulgent spread of fresh pastries, seasonal fruits, and made-to-order dishes, all served in a serene, beautiful setting looking over the mountains and lake. Location-wise, the hotel was ideal — close enough to the main attractions for easy access, yet tucked away enough to provide peace and quiet at the end of the day, or if you just wanted to relax for the day. In a world where true hospitality can be rare, this hotel sets the gold standard. Every moment of our stay felt carefully curated to ensure comfort. We left with our hearts full, our expectations exceeded, and a promise to our selves that we’ll be back soon. A family run hotel which offers a 5 star experience.

The view !

Impossible to sleep ZERO soundproofing, you can hear the guests next to your room and follow their conversation Zero Privacy .... It's really a pity because the envirement is very nice !

Location and view

Bedding and pillows was very stiff

The hotel is wonderful. Very nice decoration and details and very good quality of furniture… service is excellent and you have amazing walks to do.

Nothing just be aware that the road between the lake and the hotel is not easy and long. If you don’t want to enjoy the mountains and the walks there is so point of staying there as each ride will be painful. There is only one restaurant up there and even if the food is ok you will not spend all your meals there

Beautiful Chalet style hotel and interiors. Amazing mountain and lake view. Very comfortable. The relaxing in the jacuzzi, sauna, and swimming pool front the natural views was great. The breakfast was delicious. The staffs was extremely friendly and helpful. Luka and Samantha were exceptional with our asking. Highly recommended.

A fabulous find. New, private, great views, loved the sauna, hot tub and pool! Breakfast was great and staff was helpful in every way. We had electric bikes delivered for a couple of days and rode up the mountain.

A really special place, a gem. Highly recommended for those looking for a total departure from busy life. The hosts are super sweet.

Beautiful unique property with amazing views. Fantastic breakfast with lovely interior. Very nice owners and staff.

I would definitely recommend having a car for this property as it sits high up in the mountains.
