Hotel Rivera is on a quiet avenue just in front of the lake. At the corner the bus takes you to Lake Como in about 50 minutes which is great. They have a continental breakfast. The hotel is very close to Villa Del Balbianello!!

Wonderful location to explore Lake Como

Great location beside the water in Griante with views across to Bellagio. For 20 euro take C10 bus along lakefront to Como town bus terminus, then slow ferry along Lake Como to Bellagio, then car ferry back to Griante / Cadenabba for a full day explore very cheaply.

The absolute best thing about the Hotel Riviera was the staff. Friendly, welcoming, helpful. Sylvia is an angel. We had several conversations about family and life. Their ristorante was excellent and the waiters professional. The Hotel Riviera is a gem. It is about 200 meters from the ferry which takes you across the lake to Bellagio in 10 minutes It is considerably less expensive than any accommodation over there. If you’re looking for an economical alternative to the overpriced 5 star hotels along Lake Como, stay here. Tell Sylvia that I sent you.

Great B&B on Lake Como

Such a beautiful hotel with a stunning view of the lake! Great value for your money, you could probably go broke staying on Lake Como but this B&B was in a great location and was so reasonably priced! Breakfast was wonderful. Check in was easy and the lady at the front desk was so kind a welcoming. It’s located in one of the smaller towns around Lake Como but there are a. Couple of restaurants nearby that are easy to walk to. Convenient parking.

Loved this cute little find, the room was so cozy for one, and the food from the bar next door was incredible! so easy to access by bus of by ferry. Had a good sleep, but quite a firm mattress and maybe a second pillow wouldn’t go astray for next time.

Great apartment in Florence

We stayed 4 nights and apartment was great. Very clean, well equipped and comfortable. Our host met us at the apartment to show us round and was super helpful. The apartment is 15 minutes by tram from florence station and then literally 2 mins from the tram stop to apartment. Trams run very regularly. Would highly recommend this apartment
