PLEASE NOTE….. this is not a 4 star hotel. I really don’t know how this has been classed as 4 star. We stayed a week and what a poor show it was. You can see from my photos how bad it was. We stayed on a half board basis with a wine tasting experience. Certainly was an experience 😂. Basically you were given three glasses of cheap wine. A white, red and rose, all at once. It was poured like water from a bucket. No explanation of what wine or where from. Breakfast was awful. The most depressing breakfast room and all the food that should have been hot was cold as no terrines to keep it warm, only a measly lamp that was hardly warm. Croissants were dry, as was the bread and some of the cakes. No fruit apart from the palest water melon I’ve ever seen. There was coffee in the hot water container and water in the milk container. Some of the tables weren’t laid and if they were, ours on most mornings only had a knife, a cake fork and a teaspoon 😂. Chairs were all over the place and it was far from organised. The two guys in the dining room at dinner had no customer service skills or hospitality skills. I think they were just “winging” it. The food was very poor….apart from the pizza which was ok. There is no bar in the lounge area, which is actually in the breakfast dining room. Consists of only four easy chairs! On the second floor landing area an empty wine bottle stood on the floor most of the week…not taken away. Our shower had mould. We have travelled the world and stayed in 3, 4 and 5 star hotels and this one was the worst. The only thing good about this hotel is the location, but do your research, as I’m sure there are more places to stay in the same area.

We had no plans to stay in Domaso, but because we wanted to do paragliding in Gera Lario and our pick up could not have been arranaged for farther places, we chose to stay at Domaso. We looked for this property and booked it instantly for its affordable pricing and beautiful views. PROS: - The view- its literally the best of all things. the property has it own private beach area an so overlooks the beautiful Lake Como. It is the perfect combination of Hills, Lake and lush greens. -The area is very quiet and non touristy and that makes it beautiful -The staff at the hostel is super helpful and nice. -They have a restaurant of their own with a bar and the menu is varied and affordable -The breakfast spread is nice -They have lounge chairs that you can use without any cost on the lake front -There are lots of activities around the area like kayaking, cycling, surfing etc. - The hostel dorms are decent but with that view you will hardly stay in the room CONS: The area around gets secluded at night and shops close early so its better to stock up on essentials. You can reach this hostel by taking a train from Milan to Colico and then from Colico take a bus to Domaso ( a bful 20 min ride). We went to Bellagio from Domaso by taking a bus to Mennagio and then ferry to Bellagio.

I know this hotel from 2016... New structure, comfortable and large rooms, with home, wifi, fridge and safe. The very friendly and helpful reception Lord and the bar/restaurant boys are exceptional, very courtesy. The pity is varied, quality, and wine, beer, alcohols never disappoint. In the immediate vicinity there is a gym, a pharmacy, a jet washing machine. Large parking is not reserved. I'm always happy to go and I'll continue to go!
