Lario Ristobistro & Lounge Bar In Albavilla

30/05/2025: We loved this hotel which belies its three star rating. It was “Splendide” indeed. The lobby is archetypal Italian with marble floors, charming furniture and a beautifully ornate staircase rising its six floors. I was with family and all three rooms we had were delightfully decorated and had quite sophisticated marble tiled bathrooms with nice toiletries. One room, which was a little more expensive, had a panoramic view of Lake Como which is definitely worth paying for if you are on a romantic break. The Excelsior Splendide’s main attraction however is its location. It couldn’t really be any better being right in the centre of Bellagio, almost opposite the ferry landing at the end of the strip of restaurants and shops that are strung along the lakeshore. Everywhere is easily walkable. We arrived by car but the exceptionally friendly and helpful staff let us park outside the hotel, which is slightly inside a pedestrian area, to drop our bags before directing us to the Hotel’s parking garage further up the hill. We will return.
