An oasis of calm away from the hustle and bustle of Como.

It’s a steep and precipitous drive up the hill and not for the feint hearted! However a funicular runs up and down from the village to Como, meani mg you can leave the car for day trips or even dinner down in Como.

Superb customer service and phenomenal location with history behind it.

The place is just magic! A gem amongst the hills of lake como! Far enough from the heat of the city yet close enough to not waste time going there. The staff is super sweet and always ultra caring. The rooms, the house and the garden (a true wonder) as well as the pool (quiet spot) everything was perfect. Also the breakfast is great!

It’s a gem! Run till you have a chance to stay here because soon it’ll be constantly booked. It’s a magical place with fabulous staff. You feel like home.

The property is beautifully decorated and pristine, one of the nicest places we have stayed. The rooms are large and unique, the main house has a communal kitchen and lounge around and immaculate gardens with a swimming pool. Breakfast each day was excellent and plentiful, multiple courses. We were so glad we stayed here! On top of that Cristina and Massimo and everyone else were such lovely kind hosts, we didn’t have a car and they helped us with our luggage from the funicular, as well as giving us routes to hike and advice on where to eat. Would definitely stay again!

This isn’t a negative but the property is about 15-20m fairly steep walk from the funicular. It didn’t bother us to walk it, but good to know before going!

The villa is very charming and historic

Nothing

Everything! It was better than expected. The room, the place, the food, the pool, the staff! Everything was done with an eye for every detail. Just perfect!

Nothing to complain about. For future quests, just to know that the location is not easy to reach, and you need a car if you want to visit around. The road is very steep and narrowed. Without knowing this, we had plans to eat every evening in Como, but then we changed our mind and been to the restaurants around the hotel. Also there is a funicular from Como to Brunate, it goes until midnight. From the hotel, downhill is 15 mins walk. Uphill, is steep walking.

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The hotel is brand new and very well taken care, stylish and chic. The owners and the host are fantastic.

We really liked the aura and atmosphere that the owners have created for this place. You can feel that every detail of the interior has been thought out, as well as we felt care for our well-being both from the manager and every employee. We felt welcome. As the villa was located on a hill, it was a lovely opportunity to enjoy the beauty of nature, birdsong and peace. It is beautiful here, both on a sunny day and on a rainy day. Loved starting the day with a swim in the outdoor pool, as well as enjoying a swim in the summer rain. We liked the wide windows and to keep them open both in the room and in the bathroom. We liked the excellent breakfast, lobby room. Free parking. And I got a personal gift, which was a very touching surprise. All this together created an unforgettable charm for this place, where you want to return. We highly recommend this place!

If you drive your own car, you should take into account the narrow serpentine road. We managed it successfully :) If the villa is full, you should take into account that a neighbor may pass by your room (no. 4) and bathroom, which have large windows (to the ground) and a beautiful view of the foot of the mountain. Large windows can also be closed with curtains.

We stayed for a couple of nights after five days in Menaggio, and after the manically tourist area of mid-lake this was an oasis of tranquility. The main house (lived in by the owners) is like a fairytale manor, beautiful well maintained grounds, there are just a small number of rooms in two other locations, meaning a small number of guests and helping give a more personal feel and an atmosphere of serenity. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, breakfast was great, no restaurant but three good ones within a hundred yards, the lounge/breakfast area was a lovely relaxing place to enjoy a few drinks after a day out. All-in-all a wonderful end to a very memorable holiday on Lake Como.

EVERYTHING.--STAFF--SETTING--ATTENTIVENESS--ABSOLUTELY NO COMPLAINTES. I CAN NOT FAULT ANYTHING.

NOTHING TO DISLIKE.

Wow! We stayed all over Como - this was by far the best. Guest offering was beyond expectations throughout the stay and encouraged us to enjoy the Villa and not just the room. The rooms were very tastefully decorated and little touches really made the stay enjoyable. The views from the loungers by the pool were great and staff were very attentive. We wish we stayed longer!

This place is absolutely amazing, especially if you’re looking for some peace and quiet while visiting the como area. Beautiful hotel, great staff. It’s a little slice of heaven.

The breakfast was amazing, apart from the beautiful spread on the table, we all really appreciated the little touches of lovely china, linen napkins, silverware and the charming hospitality of Massimo and the owners really made our stay a unique and special experience. The overall ambience of the beautiful gardens and setting were just exceptional. There was nothing we didn’t like and would have loved a longer stay!

the resort staff gave us more recommendations about Como and its public traffic, it is really useful and convenient! and they have great sense about resort decoration, it is my highlight of my trip!

Rarely seen such a beautiful and lovely place. From the interior decoration, to the buildings and the garden to the mesmerizing view… Great host and great owners ❤️

Glorious views from the yard. There is only five rooms to rent. The host was really friendly and helpful during our visit. Breakfast was handcrafted each morning. The decoration was memorable and each piece of furniture was selected with style.

We loved everything. The rooms, the location, breakfast was incredible. Massimo and the staff go way and beyond to make you feel welcomed. We had a very short stay. Hope to return soon.

We absolutely loved our stay in Relais Villino Rubini. The place is amazing, all the house is full of design details and the rooms are very big and elegant. The host were the best part of all, Christina the owner, Massimo and Martha made it our perfect stay. They help you with restaurant reservations and tips to have a better experience in Como. Martha is lovely, she made a paint for us and made us feel at home! Christina the owner cares for everything and helps the guests have a perfect stay. Breakfast was the best part, it was awesome, eggs, bacon, fruits, yogurt, cheese, etc. We hope we can get back soon and see our freinds from Relais Villino Rubini again!!! If you are deciding where to stay in Como, please do not doubt to choose Relais Villino Rubini, you won't regret!

The only bad part was leaving!! Everything was perfect, no bad comments.

The surroundings, the beautiful garden but most of all the hospitality of the staff, who helped us! it is something that even 5 star properties cannot capture but Villino Rubini did. From amazing breakfast to stunning Villa - we cannot wait to come back! Thank you, Massimo and team!

nothing

Everything ! Place is wonderful! Rooms are comfortable with nice decoration and small attentions /details. Breakfast is amazing. They pay attention to lots of things! Staff was also very kind and helpful.

It is not something related to Relais Villino itself but it's the road to reach it. You'll learn more about the size of your car. But people are patient and comprehensive. And I think it is more an issue for people which are not used to narrow roads because it is like this in a lot of places in Italy.

This is such a beautiful and special place and Cristina and Massimo are so great and so helpful with recommendations and making you feel at home. The attention to detail in the design is perfect. Delicious breakfast. It was a bit of a trek to get up to Brunate from Como but so worth it. I hope to make it back here.

The most beautiful place I have ever seen

Nothing

Fabulous hospitality and fabulous location and garden, beautiful rooms and delicious breakfast. Simply fabulous.
