Hotel Bazzoni Et Du Lac

“Good Hotel, good location.”

We recently spent a week half board at the Bazzoni Hotel as part of a Riviera Travel Tour. I would say that by Italian standards, this is a good three star hotel.

We recently spent a week half board at the Bazzoni Hotel as part of a Riviera Travel Tour. I would say that by Italian standards, this is a good three star hotel. The location is good, if flying to Malpensa airport, being next to a lake ferry station and bus stop to local towns of interest.It is also a ten minute walk from the wonderful Villa Carlotti, not to be missed. We had a lake view room on the fifth floor with balcony giving stunning views of the lake, mountains and boat activity. The bedroom and bathroom were clean, comfortable and adequate. There is a safe and mini fridge plus phone charging points but no tea/coffee facilities and no English Tv channels. We took a small collapsible camping kettle. The room was serviced every day and the housekeeping staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. Bedding/ towels etc were of a good standard. There were three choices of dinning:- 1. Main restaurant. A little school canteen like and few choices of average quality. Very good for breakfast however.. 2. Upstairs Pizza restaurant. Not used by us. 3. No 23 Al La Carte downstairs. Included in the half board tariff at no extra charge, other than drinks. Food was of an excellent quality and staff were experienced and very efficient. We used this facility most evenings. Pre book a table the night before at Reception to ensure a place. The bar was well stocked and well run with a good cocktail menu and agin, very friendly and efficient staff. The pool and outside drinks areas were not open during our stay. ( first week in October ) Highlights of the area:- 1. Villa Carlotti. A must visit for gardenning fans. 1. Bernina Express train over the snowfields and mountains to St Moritz. Just stunning ! ( Don’t forget to take Passports). 3. Valla Bardenelino. Wonderful Villa and gardens. Set of the most recent James Bond movie and a ten minute ferry ride from the hotel. 4. A 24 hour Central Lake Ferry ticket for €15 pp. any ferry any time to any local town. We are frequent visitors to Italy and enjoyed our stay in Lake Como. The best time to visit that area is May - June or September. Don’t even consider it in the summer months as it is totally congested with tourists and traffic. If we returned, we would probably stay in an Hotel in Bellagio, which has a lot more of everything going on and is beautiful. PS. Leave plenty of time to get through security/ baggage / passport control and head for the departure gate early as Italian Airport staff are never in a hurry. Bergamo Airport,however,is really nice with great shopping and food outlets. Lake Como is well worth a visit, at the right time of year.

Room overlooking the lake was ok but on the small side with very little storage. Bar and staff very good as were the prices. Unfortunately the restaurant let it down big time. Even if you use the one opposite which was included not much better. Most of our fellow trip people used the restaurant s next door which were far superior to the hotel. If you get the time visit the wine bar next door. You will not be disappointed.

“Mixed”
