Casa Santo Stefano

Recently returned from this delightful Boutique B&B. The attention to detail was first class and spotlessly clean. The breakfast provided was up there with some of the top hotels. The only reason we cannot give it a 5* is purely down to getting around from Cernobbio. The ferries from here are not frequent and can take 2 hours to get to the popular sightseeing destinations and the taxis are practically none existent, should you phone for a taxi they simply cut you off! By car maybe a much better option.

We have recently returned from a wonderful 4 day break at Lake Como. I knew from the minute I arrived we had chosen the right place for us. We were greeted by Adel who explained everything clearly and carried our bags to the room. We stayed in Room 2 which was incredible. It has the most amazing view of the Lake with a fabulous balcony. The accommodation is full of lovely little touches, honesty bar, sensor lighting, fresh flowers and plants, and an incredible breakfast with freshly squeezed juices and smoothies. The location is up a steep hill and although easily walkable down to town walking back up the steep steps in the mid day sunshine is not advisable, however local taxis are available. We spent a couple of days just relaxing by the pool which was fabulous and as the hotel only has 5 rooms it is never overcrowded. One day we had the whole pool to ourselves!! In the evenings we visited restaurants that Adel recommended and were just a few minutes walk away were excellent and had enough variety for us ( 1 vegetarian and 1 meat eater). We loved every minute.
