Why people love it

• Mauricio and family. Mauricio and his family are thanked by name in several reviews for being hospitable.
• The restaurant. Guests describe generous portions and refined dishes, and breakfast is praised in a dining room one guest called beautifully decorated.
• Walkable location. Guests are close to the ferry, villas, restaurants and coffee shops, and a wedding guest walked 5 minutes to Villa Erba.
• Early check-in. One guest was able to check in early.

The worst thing guests say

Complaints from stayers are scattered. In September 2026 a guest said breakfast was not served at the published time of 7:30. In October 2024 a guest said the hotel made repeated attempts to charge their card after checkout. Most low ratings since 2020 are from restaurant-only visitors who complained about slow service, food and the owner.
