“Authentic Italian hotel with great staff”

We booked a year in advance with TUI and got an incredible deal and an upgrade to a superior room ( we were in 302) fantastic views from all 3 windows and balcony. We paid £900 in total as a couple. The hotel is in a fantastic location for getting around by ferry and bus. You can walk along the lake towards Toscolano and find great places to stop for coffee. ( we paid €3 for two americanos) the paper mill is easy to walk to and the scenery is stunning. Breakfast, you can sit anywhere and it’s a buffet service. The food is an ok standard for what we paid. However if we had paid the full price I’d of felt a bit let down but it did the job and sometimes we just grabbed a coffee. Our room was stunning, the bed was really comfortable and I wanted to bring the chairs home ( you could of slept on them) the bathroom was a good size with a powerful shower, fresh towels every day. The air con was really loud think of a vintage car starting up and didn’t work but weirdly we got used to it and it sent me to sleep . The evening meal again not the quality we are used to but we ate there every night and the fish was always good! So are the desserts. The staff are a credit to the hotel, for me they made it special. Really friendly and treat us like old friends. Because it’s such a small hotel based on how many rooms it does have a friendly feel and we got to know a lot of the people staying there during our stay. There are no negatives about this hotel only slight tweaks and if we got another great deal we would definitely return.

“Ignore bad reviews”

After reading some of the reviews we were a bit hesitant on our upcoming trip but was really surprised. Firstly we got a great deal for a week via TUI probably due to end of season so for the price we paid it was worth it. We didn’t have a lake view room so the negative was we had a twin room wi… more

After reading some of the reviews we were a bit hesitant on our upcoming trip but was really surprised. Firstly we got a great deal for a week via TUI probably due to end of season so for the price we paid it was worth it. We didn’t have a lake view room so the negative was we had a twin room with no balcony or view. Definitely book a lakeside view Air con didn’t seem to work so the room did get hot luckily weather was a lot cooler. Shower very powerful. Aside from that the hotel is a great location. There is a bus stop outside that takes you to Riva, 2 ferry ports which go to Tori, limone and Riva so you can travel around. Hotel is authentic Italian so not high end luxury, but lovely, very welcoming and helpful staff. Pool area is lovely and there is also a bar, drinks are more expensive than local bars but that’s the same for most hotels. Beds surprisingly comfy, evening food wasn’t amazing but ok, breakfast a lot better. All in all for the price we were very happy. Maderno is pretty quiet and not much going on in the evening but if you want a base to travel around it’s ideal. Get the car ferry (can go as a passenger) to Tori for a nice meal by the lake & wander around the shops. It leaves every 30 mins. Would also recommend Kokki sushi restaurant in Toscolano.

After reading the reviews we were very surprised to find a lovely traditional Italian hotel with the most amazing views. The hotel was in a prim position to catch the ferry and there was a bus stop close by. A nice selection of restaurants are also within walking distance. Hotel restaurant: There wasn’t a large selection but the choices were always very nice and the staff were always very friendly and obliging. Rooms: We had a room on the top floor facing the lake with a balcony and couldn’t have been happier. The bed was firm and comfortable as we like it and the bathroom was spacious with a nice shower with clean towels everyday. My only criticism is that it would have been nice to have tea/coffee making facilities in our room but I think this is the same in most Italian hotels. Over all we had a lovely time at the Milano and would definitely recommend it.
