Hotel Villa Aurora

Cannot find one single little thing to be critical of. Best small hotel I have ever stayed in and that in over 60 years of travelling!

This hotel was by far the best hotel we’ve stayed through our whole entire Italy trip. The hotel staff is extremely helpful at any given time, the breakfast was incredible and the best we’ve had in our trip and our room the villa overseeing the lake como with private access to the water was incredible. We will definitely be coming back and staying with at this hotel again. Also, if you have a car they have private parking which comes in handy, but also a bus station is nearly 3 minutes walking distance from the hotel.

The breakfast was really great, everything was fresh, there was plenty of choice and it tasted delicious. The room was very nice and the coffee was excellent. The terrace down by the water is definitely the highlight, it feels like a truly special place on Lake Como. The restaurant is amazing as well, the pizza is on another level and the angioletti with Nutella for dessert were incredible.

Older establishment in the small town of Lezzeno, on Lake Como. We met the grandson of the owner, Jonathan, who was terrific and a source of knowledge on the history of the family owned establishment. We also met grandfather, who was still working at age 90. Cristina and Desiree have worked there for years and are the managers. The original hotel dates back to the 60s, rooms are smaller and across the road from the beach side restaurant/bar. A newer two story building is where we stayed. We had a second floor room with a balcony and magnificent view of the lake. The bar is open from early morning until late and the buffet breakfast is excellent. Lot's of water sports to be had, although we didn't partake. Only a few other restaurants in town and driving along Lake Como is a challenge as the road is often a car and half width, but it was fun!
