Villa Maria In Porlezza

18/10/2024: We had booked 3 double rooms for 4 nights in the off-season (where there are already many other hotels). The hotel is very clean, the owners are very friendly, helpful and - since our Italian is not very good - they also helped us with the reservations for restaurants. The breakfast offers everything you need and the price-performance ratio is absolutely fine. The hotel is located directly on a busy street, which means that you should keep the windows closed at night and very early in the morning because of the street noise, but since the rooms have air conditioning units, this is not a problem even at higher temperatures . Even though there were only a few guests left in mid-October, the bar was still open in the evenings and the breakfast was varied with fresh and delicious sweet pastries (probably some homemade). We felt completely comfortable the entire time and thank you for the perfect stay.

13/10/2024: We had a wonderful stay in the Adler hotel recently and would highly recommend it. We booked last minute (on the arrival day!) and stayed for 2 nights, changing rooms after the first night. The rooms are pretty basic but comfortable, and match the pricing. We are dinner there on both nights and would highly recommend it. The food was all home-made and tasty and creative. The owner-chef is really excellent. It seems to be a family-run hotel with all family members pitching in at various points. They really seem to care about their guests and the service is excellent! Given the location (up a hill outside of Mennagio) you definitely need a car to access the hotel. It's a good base however for discovering the towns along the lake and a short boat ride to Bellagio.
