Bathroom a little inconvenient with no countertop and a small mirror with limited lighting.
Room has no mirror so you can’t see what you wear.
Room has thin curtains, very bright for sleeping.

Perfect hotel in Cernobbio

The staff was so friendly. The breakfasts were delicious! Its a short walk in to the town of Cernobbio to catch the ferry.
Also its a short walk outside of town to stroll through the Secret Garden!
We loved this hotel!

My wife and I liked everything about the property. The staff was nice, the property was quiet and the location was great walking distance to the Cernnobio centre.
We were so busy doing activities outside the property that we did not get to enjoy the gardens at the property. However, they looked awesome.

We had a great experience at the Hotel Trezo Crotto, enjoying its old world charm and an authentic European environment. You may find the rooms smaller than you are used to if you are Canadian, but that is what you find in Italy. The staff was friendly and accommodating, including the sweet old Labrador Retriever on site! We were always looking for her.

The restaurant on site was also fantastic. The food was very good on all the items, and we ate there on 2 evening occasions.

It is also a short walk to the Piers, shops and the bus stop. We highly recommend this hotel.

The family that runs the property is so lovely and the area around it is beautiful. The restaurant is delicious and and it’s an easy walk to the ferry. It is definitely not modern but has a rustic, old school feel. If you are looking for modern, this isn’t it- but it is a charming place.

This was our second stay at this hotel. It is nicely located, close enough to Como but away from the traffic and noise. Walking distance to the lake and few restaurants around the area. The staff is very nice and helpful. Breakfast could use a couple of hot items. My biggest complaint is the smoke smell. It’s gotten worse since the last time we stayed there.

Disappointed

We stayed here for 4 nights to visit Lake Como did not meet expectations on cost for condition of hotel, rooms.etc. We ordered on arrival a coke and small beer which was €10 ... on reading other reviews of steaks and specials items being charged at around €95 euro each we decided not to dine in the restaurant during our visit as other tourists said they felt they were taken advantage of on cost for quality of food. Disappointing overall.

Good comfortable, clean hotel

Good hotel, comfortable, clean, good location. Not on lake like some of the other hotels in the area and no pool, but great hotel to use as a base while exploring local area without blowing the budget. Easy access to ferry which will take you to Como and up the lake to other towns such as Bellagio and Varenna.

Quiet Location with Good Parking

We chose this hotel for its proximity to Como and the availability of parking (we had two bikes loaded on the car and wanted them close). The hotel staff were helpful. We enjoyed a complimentary coffee during our check in process. It was easy to walk into town for lunch or dinner, or jump on the local transit bus to get to Como (or an easy bike ride).

The room was comfortable with a double bed, extra pillows, a wardrobe, and a decent size bathroom with a good shower (although lacking decent shelf space to set my toiletries bag). A hair dryer and small sachets of shower gel were provided.

Our night view was very pretty, seeing the lights of the houses up the hill.

Our car was parked within view of our room (free parking).

Foodie in Lake Como

The hotel is perfect in that you can enjoy the sites but are far enough away from the hustle and bustle to get a good nights sleep. The best bit though it the restaurant where the food is amazing. One of the reasons that returned and will return in the future.

Beautiful location with easy access to Lake Como

A most enjoyable weekend stay in this quiet, beautiful location away from the centre but with easy access to Cernobbio and Como. Sergio and the rest of the hotel staff were very friendly,helpful and accommodating from the outset e.g. agreeing arrangements for a late night return. The Superior rooms were nicely furnished, WIFI connected easily and we slept well in the relaxing setting. The breakfast was excellent and our one regret was that we weren't able to try the highly rated restaurant because of family commitments elsewhere. Definitely worth a return visit.

A hidden treasure

We booked this hotel based on the location by proximity of family staying at a nearby apartment. This hotel was a hidden treasure, and the rooms was massive! A beautiful spot just by lake como - this is a brilliant hotel to choose. We travelled with a 7 month old baby and the room was perfect and quiet for us.

Lake como

This stay was in the off season so maybe the rating would be different in summer. Be prepared to be assaulted with cigarette smoke and smell. Upon arrival the reception desk was not manned so we had to find someone. This was not easy! Someone was back in a office watching TV and after many calls of hello they came out. The place is very dated and shabby. But the room and bathroom.were very clean. The room description said there was a safe in the room but the language barrier could not get this across When we asked for a local town map we were told \" finished\" breakfast was ok, bread, yogurt, hard cooked eggs. Great coffee. One more comment about the smoke smell, it was very strong in the bedroom as if someone was smoking next door. Given the lack of help and upkeep we opted not to try the restaurant and walked into town.

albergo ristorante della vecchia tradizione del lago. perfetto per partecipare agli eventi a villa Erba vista la vicinanza. E' sedel del Lions. sale interne che riportano alle atmosfere di un tempo. camere spaziose e pulite. non e' una struttura di lusso, vero tre stelle. ottimo ristorante di carne e pesce con una caratteristica, porzioni abbondantissime. quindi se non siete come i turisti stranieri che lo frequantano principalmente, andate piano con le ordinazioni. all'inizio della strada per Rovenna non risente del traffico. Ha parcheggio e ampi spazi esterni

No recomendable

Todo parecía estar bien cuando nos hospedamos; la atención estuvo bien, la habitación adecuada.
Sin embargo, todo inició cuando se acabó el papel y los tuvimos que pedir porque no dejaron repuesto.
También nos pareció que el check out es demasiado temprano a las 10:30 horas.
Lo peor ocurrió cuando perdimos un estuche de lentes y una pulsera.
El estuche se quedó en la mesa de la terraza y no nos informaron nada, ni lo pusieron en algún lugar donde pudiéramos verlo, fue hasta que dejamos las maletas para resguardo que lo vimos y ya lo tenían ocupado con otros lentes.
Cuando hablamos con el dueño sobre la situación fue descortés y no reconoció la falta.
En lo que a la pulsera se refiere, estaba en la habitación porque se nos olvidó. Al regresar la buscamos por todos lados y no estaba.
Avisamos al personal y dijeron que no la encontraron.
Después de lo ocurrido con el estuche de lentes, decidimos no dejar en resguardo el equipaje porque habíamos perdido la confianza. Cuando estábamos saliendo del hotel, se acercó una chica y nos regresó la pulsera.
