A well maintained older property with lots of charm and character. Excellent location on the strip and very helpful and competent staff. Basic breakfast. Try to get a room above 2nd floor for the view if facing lake.

A good choice

The Hotel Milan Speranza Au Lac is a 4 star hotel located by the lake boulevard. The hotel is a reliable choice in the slightly lower end of 4 star hotels. We had a nice two night stay at the hotel. The room and the bathroom were as expected but we were slightly disappointed as there was no balcony and the view was to the building on the opposite side of the street. The breakfast was of good standard and contained everything you can expect. Also the service at breakfast was of unusually high standard. We also had one dinner at the hotel and were pleased with both the food and especially the service, which was excellent. We would happily stay there again.

Visited the 2nd week of September. The hotel is ideally located to visit the other islands and walking distance to shops and restaurants. Our room was very accommodating for 3 adults and it faced the lake with a beautiful view. The breakfast was very good and the hosts were very friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

First I’ll point out what I’d say are obvious to most stays in Italy, just because I think it’s good information for Americans like us. A lot of people on these apps leave negative feedback for these reasons, but just know that we’re in Italy and these factors are just about everywhere here. 1) there are steps to get to your room, sometimes a lot of them. 2) a lot of places don’t have elevators (this one DOES) 3) the showers are small! I’m 6’4” and 240lbs… I fit, but it’s not like home, lol. This place has a full size tub/ shower, but no curtain. Okay now that that’s over with, here’s our actual review. Location is perfect! Right across the street from the ferries to the islands. Plenty of food and shopping really close. Room was nice and had a balcony that faced the lakes, awesome!!! Check in was painless, but parking is offsite. It was close enough though. Everything about the hotel and room was as expected and nice. Our big complaint though is that they were doing construction both mornings we were there. The walls are thin and it woke us up both mornings… too early! On checkout I was asked about our stay and reported that issue to them, but the lady didn’t seem to care how disruptive it was or how inconvenient it was for us. I’m sure this isn’t always the case, so I’d still say it’s a good place to stay, but I wish we could’ve been better taken care of due to the construction. Like don’t put people in rooms next door to rooms you’re remodeling!!!
