A prolonged cool and wet spell at the end of April defined our time at Lake Como—we had great views of clouds, mist, fog, and a dim Bellagio from our lakefront room; alas, we weren’t able to enjoy the balcony. Under such circumstances, we were very happy that we had chosen Alberghetto La Marianna for our 4-night stay. The room... More

This is a characterful small hotel with a real family feel and the most glorious views over Lake Como from the front-facing rooms. The rooms are quite quirky but everything you need is available (apart from a kettle, UK visitors should note). Our shower room was very clean and well equipped with plentiful hot water. Breakfast is delicious with lots... More

We stayed at Alberghetto La Marianna for 3 nights in Sept. 2012 with another couple.

Also the son is part of... More

I'll be cheeky and not write much but suggest you refer to my fathers comments before this posting. Posted by "Terry C". In summary, a lovely place and suitable for people who want a warm atmosphere, clean, good breakfast, basic accommodation with no particular extras required.

We were looking forward to our Lake Como stopover and took the advice of friends who had stayed at La Marianna several years ago to book this traditional Italian Bed & Breakfast. The wife, Paola runs the accommodation and hubby looks after the restaurant. We were welcomed and at once felt comfortable with our choice. The location is as good... More

My wife and I have just returned from a holiday to remember on the shores of Lago di Como - and our choice of hotel for our stay was absolutely a highlight (and that's saying something in a week when every day brought new delights and discoveries) Paola is a great hostess; friendly, full of information and insights. Her son... More
