Finding a moderately priced but good hotel in Como proved a difficult task. After reading the reviews I booked at this hotel and I was pleasantly surprised for what we found. If you don't mind leaving your car at the hotel while you enjoy Como, it's an excellent choice. As I mention some friends, the hotel is located in Brunate,... more

The hotel is very charming with beautiful views from the top floor. From the hotel you can easily walk around the village and to the lighthouse from where you have a great view over Como and the lake. The staff is very friendly and many of them speak good English. Remember to map directions to Brunate itself - finding the... more

Reasonably priced pleasant family-run hotel in the hilltop village of Brunate. In summer, the temperature remains reasonable compared to Como far below. Unfortunately there was no view from the hotel room. Easy access by foot via the Como-Brunate funicular cable railway (which runs every day until late). The hotel is just around a hundred yards from the terminus. The room... more

We traveled to Lake Como to do our first tour of Northern Italy, and based ourselves out of Brunate for three days. We LOVED Locanda Milano and highly recommend it: --The rooms are affordable and comfortable, each with a balcony overlooking a quaint, small-town street --The staff is amazing (I was fighting a nasty cold during our stay and they... more

It was a nightmare for us. It locates at the top of the mountain, where the Lake Como is just at the foot of it. When we arrived, all the doors and windows were shut. I thought we went to a wrong place. But eventually there was an old lady from the hotel who spoke to us. Unfortunately she coundn't... more

My cousin and I sayed at Locanda Milano in Brunate in mid May of 2008. I have to say I loved every minute of it. I couldn't wait after our lovely boat trip up to Bellagio to get back up to that cute little town and our wonderful room. The food in the hotel was excellent... and the bar was... more

This is a great little family hotel with a bar and restaurant. The family obviously works hard to make their guests' stay comfortable (their English is excellent too). Driving up the steep hill from Como to the hotel was a little hairy, but once there, Brunate is peaceful and, to me, much more preferable to staying in Como. Besides the... more

I agree with the earlier review. Locanda Milano 1873 is a small family hotel. We received excellent service while we were there, including free coffees while we waited for our room to be made ready. The owners did their best to accomodate our very early arrival, well before the official check in time. We had no problems with our room,... more

This hotel is in a little town on top of the mountain above the town of Como and Lake Como. The hotel was small with not many rooms, but very nice. The restaurant is excellent, some of the best food that I have had in Italy. The shower went hot and cold on the morning that we left, but that's... more
