Beautiful and quaint place with a few rooms with the best view ever! Staff are so kind and accommodating caring for your every need.

Breakfast was beautiful each day and although I wasn’t able to have an evening meal there I have been told by locals it is amazing and I can believe it based on breakfast and the awards that have been won by the restaurant.

Rooms are spacious and have everything you need. Outside this place is just picturesque and I highly recommend it.

I'm from Lecco and I honestly believe this is a hidden gem, even for the people from the surrounding area.
By coming here, you can be sure you'll always find amazing food, not only tasting good but also presented very well.
Service is quick and the ladies are always kind.
The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, the place never too crowded.
Overall, very high quality. One of the best in Lecco area.
