The historic, authentically charming atmosphere of this old hotel adds to its allure, complemented by very friendly staff and cozy, uniquely decorated rooms infused with Italian charm.

Overall, Bellavista Boutique Hotel stands out as a beautiful art deco villa set in a fascinating and perfect spot to enjoy both tranquility and the picturesque beauty of Lake Como.
Breakfast
The breakfast is typically served at the table due to COVID-19 restrictions, which some guests find lacking in variety and prefer a wider assortment or a buffet style. Nonetheless, many still find it more than sufficient and filling. The options are neatly presented and span both sweet and savory choices, catering to different preferences. The menu includes fresh and homemade items, which adds a homely touch to the spread.
The ambience of the breakfast settings, whether on the terrace or in the breakfast room, also receives positive mentions for its beauty and the aesthetic appeal of the surroundings. Friendly and attentive staff contribute further to making breakfast an enjoyable experience.
