On our way to the hotel, Google Maps suggested taking a ferry to shorten our ETA by 1.5 hours.
It turned out to be an excellent choice coming from Menaggio, we arrived by ferry just 100–200 metres from the hotel.
During our road trip through Italy, we decided to spend New Year’s Eve in Bellagio and chose Hotel Du Lac. It was an excellent decision.
Starting with the view from our room (room 44), which was absolutely outstanding—waking up in bed, we could admire the beautiful lake directly through the windows. The room had a small balcony, just big enough for two people to sit comfortably and enjoy the view with a drink. We were also very pleasantly surprised by the welcome gift for our little dog, which we truly appreciated.
The room was spacious, as was the bathroom. Breakfast was very tasty and served in a glass-covered terrace with a spectacular lake view, no matter where you choose to sit. The hotel also has a bar downstairs, which is equally outstanding. We highly recommend this hotel.
The only minor downside possibly due to the New Year period—was that the bar closed quite early, although everything else in the city was also closed.
One negative aspect worth mentioning is that the hotel uses a very old-fashioned physical key system. This would not be an issue if the electricity could remain on when leaving the room; however, the power is controlled by a key holder attached to the room key, which can be inconvenient.
Another important thing to keep in mind if you are arriving by car: you will be assigned a parking space in a garage that is very steep at the entrance and extremely narrow inside. The width of the garage gate is 2.34 metres (according to iPhone Measuring App). Our car is 2.03 metres wide with the mirrors open, so I strongly recommend arriving with as small a car as possible, as manoeuvring into the parking space can take some time.
Overall, we spent an amazing New Year’s Eve and a wonderful stay at the hotel. We highly recommend it and will definitely return. The hotel was truly worth the money and that is exactly what we value.

We had a truly special four-night Christmas break at Hotel du Lac in Bellagio. From the moment we arrived, the Leoni family created a warm, welcoming, and unforgettable experience for all their guests.
On our first evening, we dined at Arturo’s Bar (named after the hotel’s founder), which was a delight. Enjoying delicious Italian food outdoors in the middle of winter was magical. Christmas Day was equally memorable, with a wonderful fusion of Italian and British cuisine at Gioia Restaurant, accompanied by breathtaking views of Lake Como. The roast turkey and homemade panettone were the best we’ve ever had.
The beautiful spa was a real luxury, and throughout our stay we felt thoroughly spoiled — nothing was ever too much trouble. The attention to detail and genuine hospitality were exceptional.
We loved our stay so much that we’ve already booked to return in April, and can’t wait to enjoy everything Lake Como has to offer once again.

Excellent! I would give the hotel 5 stars, definitely not 3. Everything is top-notch! From the reception to the restaurant! The rooms are very comfortable and cozy, the bed is crisp and rustling white! The mattress and pillows are soft. The spa and wellness area has a very comfortable jacuzzi, a sauna with a moderate heat, and delicious lemongrass tea. Breakfast includes omelets, sausages, red fish, and, of course, fruit and sweets, nuts, and the best coffee. Everything in the cafe is delicious and very fast. The restaurant serves exquisite and delicious dinners, with a stunning view of the lake! In short, I've never seen or been to better food!

Excellent experience.
The hotel's location is ideal, with a magnificent view of the lake from the breakfast room and the 5th-floor terrace, which must be lovely for enjoying a drink in the summer.
The bedding is comfortable. The service is top-notch.
The only slight drawback is the soundproofing between the room and the hallway.
We highly recommend this hotel and will gladly return.

Luxury service and hotel, an incredible welcome from Chiara and the owner. The room was amazing, with a spectacular view of the lake. During our stay, my boyfriend proposed, and they made us feel special by giving us a bottle of Prosecco. Highly recommended; the next time I return to Bellagio, I will definitely stay here.

We visited Bellagio in early November. Stayed at Hotel Du Lac. Located overlooking the lake next to the ferry pier. Weather was cool. Hotel is very clean and staff was super friendly specially those manning the reception counter. The management helped with a cake and drinks to celebrate my daughter's birthday at their restaurant. So cool!. We used the SPA. The lake view from the roof top bar was breathtaking. Breakfast was superb. Luggage store was at our disposal. Overall we enjoyed our stay here and was a memorable one. We couldn't ask anything more then this. We would recommend this hotel to visitors coming to Bellagio! Visitor from Malaysia!

We've stayed at Hotel du Lac 4 times. We love it. You cannot beat it's location to the lake, ferry and town. Amazing people on staff that treat you like family. Incredible restaurants in Bistro Arturo and Goiya with great views, atmosphere and food and a rooftop bar for a drink to start the evening. For the money, the best hotel in Bellagio.
