Reviews of Montebello Lake

Everything was great and the host was lovely! Instructions were all made clear at check in

The location was so easy to get too, the outdoor pool was an added bonus!!

The floor boards were very noisy

Very clean place, some staff were nice.

It’s with genuine regret that I have to give this place a rating of 1 due to the unacceptable and aggressive behavior displayed by the senior owner toward myself and my family. What was meant to be a peaceful stay turned into a distressing experience that left us feeling disrespected and unsafe. The senior owner acted in a hostile and inappropriate manner on multiple occasions. Most alarmingly, he verbally attacked me in front of my young child, causing him to cry, and spoke disrespectfully to my parents. His behavior was erratic and confrontational, with no regard for common courtesy or hospitality. In the morning, we were surprised to learn we could not have breakfast unless it had been pre-ordered a day in advance—information that was never communicated or written anywhere. When we attempted to bring in our own food to eat at the designated breakfast area, the owner aggressively prohibited it, again citing an unwritten rule. Later, when we attempted to use the pool during the already limited hours, we were met with more hostility. The staff had to be asked to stop cleaning the pool, and when we began preparing to swim—applying sunscreen to our child and waiting a few minutes—the senior owner appeared suddenly and began shouting at us in an intimidating manner. He got too close to me, shushed me aggressively, and caused my child to cry. This behavior was not only completely unprofessional but deeply unsettling. I strongly recommend that if you still choose to stay at this property, you only interact with the owner’s son or wife, who were more respectful and reasonable. As for the senior owner, I would suggest he step back from guest interactions entirely and perhaps focus on cleaning or property maintenance instead.

We did not have breakfast as we didn't know it was offered. It was a nice, clean place. Kids loved the pool.

our a/c leaked and couldn't be repaired while we were there. They did come up and cleaned it up and left a bucket to catch the drips. It was a new unit too. Ceilings were very sloped and my 6ft tall son had to duck often.

It is a really beautiful property with lots of potential

Since it was less popular season, breakfast service or the kitchen was not open. We have to buy mc Donald’s and eat outdoors

Location is beautiful but without a car to get there is a challenge

In the morning we were missing welcome a cup of coffee and a croissant. For this we had to go down to town to get it. Also, smoking should be prohibited in the balconies

The whole property was just gorgeous and our host was lovely. Friendly and prompt, it was like staying with family (that you like!). That said, we were given plenty of space and privacy, while knowing a household member was never far (in their own section on the property or available by phone) if we needed something. 10 out of 10 stay.

Sharing a bathroom I never ideal, but the fact that you could lock yourself in was great. For non-locals, I would add a sign saying that the fastest way to get the shower hot is to first run the bidet until the water heats up, otherwise they may have a chilly shower!

The host was so friendly and helpful we arrived late and had a slight issue with the gate but he was always available to help and was very friendly, would definitely come stay again

The location and setting is fantastic. Yes, it is 1km out of the centre but really accessible if you don’t mind walking. There is also an ample car park if driving.

I stayed in the single room and to be quite frank, the rate at circa. 100€ per night is a rip off. I’ve have stayed in private rooms in youth hostels with better facilities. The image on booking.com is misrepresented. The basic amenities were lacking- kettle, hairdryer and attention to detail for the price. It was basic and clearly a cheap ikea bed set and wardrobe had been screwed together. It’s a real shame as there is so much opportunity for Montebello is the owners put some effort in and do it up! The owners weren’t also present and offered no advice in respect to my stay. Scanned my passport, showed me my room and left

View down to the lake was lovely. Pool clean

AC was rubbish and the attic family rooms are like ovens. No tea / coffee facilities and the rooms are as basic as can be. Not even a sofa. Just a couple of mattresses on the floor, a double bed, TV, desk and a single chair. Not suitable for a family of 4

The property was incredible. A room looking over the lake and the pool with a gorgeous little balcony was amazing.

It’s quite far away from any food places and there’s no where to store food. They do offer breakfast by the pool which was a life saver.

We took a very bad experience from here, the room was very dirty, there was no service offered, even for a cup of coffee we had to travel three kilometers.

Very bad , I advise you never to choose this place to stay

This Villa is on the side of the city, is big, with privet parking inside, and beautiful views. Has garden and big swimming pool. Great place to stay! If you are planning to see Lake Como's Villas - great localization!

The hotel has the best of views over the lake and the mountains, and it situated in a lovely garden with swimming pool. All is nice and tidy.

Small details. I missed a chair or two at the room and some hooks for clothes.

Amazing location and setting , views were great over lake Como and Lecco itself, pool was an added bonus with hot days , hosts were fantastic , friendly and soo helpful , went out of their way to help us, and nothing was too much trouble .

N/A

Swimming pool looked nice but we did not use it

A very long way from Lecco up steep hills

The room was big and comfortable. The views of the city and the lake were amazing. We were traveling without a car but the city center was a 20-minute walk from the B&B, so the location was more than OK.

We knew this when we booked, but the only thing that might be a bit uncomfortable is the shared bathroom. Our floor had 3 rooms and one shared bathroom. But, really we pretty much felt we had it all to ourselves. It was well-equipped and clean.

Montebello Lake is a total gem on Lake Como. Seriously, the views here are out of this world - you wake up, pull back the curtains, and boom, the lake's right there, looking all kinds of gorgeous with the mist floating over it like something out of a movie. It's super peaceful too, perfect if you're looking to chill and get away from the hustle. And let's talk about the swimming pool – it's awesome! It's like this cool, refreshing escape that's got the best seat in the house for lake views. The water's always sparkling clean, and there's plenty of space to lounge around and soak up the sun. Plus, the whole place is surrounded by nature, so you feel like you're in this little secluded paradise, with trees and greenery everywhere. It's pretty much the perfect spot to kick back and relax.

Very kind and helpful host.We enjoyed our stay.The room was clean and beautiful with a lake view.You are surrounded by mountains and lake that gives you opportunity to explore both.There was heating and airconditioning in the room.Great was there was a parking on site.Highly recommend.Cannot wait to be back!
