Hotel Villa Aurora

The location was superb. We had windows on two sides of our room with lake views. A lovely old lakeside hotel sensitively modernised. Elegant breakfast room with chandeliers evoking its past grandeur. Waterfront restaurant across the road. Breakfast was excellent.

Our room was on the second floor. The stairs were steep and there was no lift. Fortunately our luggage was delivered to the room. There's a walk from the ferry port to the hotel. No taxis like in most lakeside towns around lake Como.

The deck access is perfect for a relaxed few days on the lake

The restaurant gets busy so make sure to book ahead

We chose one of their Villa Superior rooms which we would highly recommend. Comfortable bed, nice en-suite with a great shower, private terrace as well as access to a quiet communal decking area with sun beds just outside our room. Everything in the setting was good quality and well cared for. The view was breathtaking! Loved the option of creating your own juice at breakfast, and all that was on offer. It’s clear lots of thought had gone into what was on available and the presentation. We stayed 8 nights, and thought we would venture out to other restaurants during our stay, but the restaurant menu was varied and all the food delicious - so we found no need to eat elsewhere. It’s popular with locals as well as others arriving by boat from other resorts - so you do need to book your table for both lunch & dinner. Staff were all excellent - the classic family run feel was strong, with such a special atmosphere. Thank you to all the family and staff - we loved it!

This isn’t something we didn’t like, but depending on what you want from the resort and your holiday, we were pleased to have hired a car. My husband likes to run most mornings and I like to walk - the road is narrow along this stretch of the lake and you have to have your witts about you when on foot - as the traffic has a good pace to it! With just a 10min drive to Bellagio from the hotel, we started our day with a trip to the town, where we could enjoy our runs & walks before coming back for breakfast. A great work out if you like elevation, very pretty surroundings and more glorious views of the lake.
