The only way to describe Villa Clementina is spectacular. My wife and I went away for the first time to Lake Como and after reviewing multiple hotel options on the lake, landed on Villa Clementina. We had the Villa Clementina Suite for 5 nights and despite the pictures and videos, it surpassed out expectations. Waking up every day looking at mountains sloping from the sky down to the blue lake. Literally one day we woke up and were eye level with white clouds floating over the lake. The setting is stunning and somehow the staff, service, and food match the beauty. The communication ahead of time to prepare was so helpful and everyone was so responsive. They provided directions to anywhere we needed to go, scheduled tours, and provided us truly anything we needed while there. The staff is always so pleasant, informed, and ready to please. It feels like you are a part of a small family in a small town on Lake Como that makes you feel so welcome. With a private garage to park if you drive and located on the Lago di Como greenway you can get around confidently and easily. The food was wonderful. The menu changed multiple times with daily specials including fresh local fish. The chef would come out and meet us and talk about the dishes. He even offered to make my wife tuna tartare at 10:00pm and send it to the room! Breakfast was great each morning and the view from the dining room is unbeatable. At no point did my wife and I feel unrelaxed and can't speak highly enough of the experience. I hope we are able to go back and would recommend Villa Clementina to anyone looking for a quaint, romantic, relaxing experience. Thank you to everyone at Villa Clementina for making our experience so memorable.

Only constructive comment would be to have an iron or steamer in each room for guests. No other critiques!

Very friendly staff. The food of the breakfast and dinner at the restaurant were very good. The location is a top location in a very quite village Colonno, away from the busy villages (Bellagio, Mennagio, etc.), ideal for a relaxing holiday with your partner. The infinity pool and jacuzzi are very nice with amazing view on the lake and comfortable relaxing spots. The room was clean with comfortable bed.

The room was very nice! The view is unbelievable! We like the hotel so much. It's quite small but very nice, new and clean. The breakfast was very good as well!

The Como Lake is a lot of towns around so we used the car and it was perfect. If you don't have a car, it might be not so convenient to stay in small Colonno because you need to go often in bigger towns.

The hotel and staff were excellent, especially the service. Nothing was too much trouble and we were looked after extremely well, Orietta needs a special mention!

Book well in advance as room 203 is located at the back of the building so can’t take advantage of the amazing views. However, the restaurant and pool area allows you to take in the Lake Como scenery.

Wonderful place if a little quirky to get to (street level car park, then elevator then 2 min transfer via golf buggy) - very professional and friendly with great staff, excellent food and we had a wonderful room with perfect views over the Lake

All good (with the nearby church bells sounding over 30 times at 7:00am no need to set a alarm 😊)

Wonderful location with beautiful views. Small boutique hotel with personal attention and really nice staff. The diners are great!

If I had to say one thing, the lunch salad was a bit simple for that money.

What a lovely place! The most beautiful view across Lake Como, the pool was divine and the Green Way walking trail basically starts at the hotel. The staff (Diego, Colin and Giada) were just wonderful - nothing was too much trouble and they clearly enjoyed what they were doing. Breakfast and dinners on the property were delicious and there's a really nice restaurant (La Comacina) right on the Lake, 15 minutes walk away.

We had some trouble with our air conditioning, but it was handled very professionally. The only other thing to be aware of (and it's pretty clear on the hotel's website) is that there's not a lot around it in terms of shops and (with the exception of La Comacina) restaurants, so you really need a car.

This hotel completely surpassed our expectations. The view was incredible, the grounds immaculate and while I was expecting a very small-feeling room we were pleasantly surprised. Breakfast was delish and food was fab though I’d love to visit again earlier in the season, when more variety is available from the gardens. But what really made it was the staff: we have never felt more catered to. They never let you lift a finger, and clearly want to really help you have the best possible holiday. Richard is so kind and creates a really memorable experience. The area is also quieter than other parts of Como which was what we wanted, but we did enjoy being able to wander into the next towns for a change of scene. We are already thinking about when we might be able to get back!

To totally nitpick, a warmer pool would be nice but appreciate there are limitations due to its area and that it’s hotter when in prime season.

There are so very many things to LOVE about Villa Clementina, starting with the property and it's unique positioning on the slope of a mountainside. One can simply breathe in the views and immediately reduce any stress experienced while driving through the narrow, winding roads en route to this lovely place to unwind! The rooms are impeccably clean and well organized, maximizing available space. The Chef prepares a tightly curated menu each evening and if you truly wish to chill there is no need to even leave the property to enjoy scrumptious meals served by a very caring staff. The owners are invested in your experience and are on property regularly. Can't leave a review without sharing the truly superb and effusive charm of dapper Richard, who heads the staff in providing such excellent service. A newsletter greats you each morning with a few facts about the area and the staff members who are serving you and maintain the property. The Villa sits just at the beginning of an 8 mile stretch of scenic views of the lake, so if you love to walk or run this Villa is a great choice. Can't say enough about this ensemble cast and how much they CARE about your time and experience with them!

Was truly nothing to dislike about the experience at Villa Clemintina! We were there for a wedding... and the "path" from the hotel to the parking garage can be tricky in heels. So let them know your comings/goings and they'll slip you into a golf cart to get you from Villa to parking! They have considered every detail and have you covered!

A quirky, luxury hotel that we will remember forever. Staying here feels like a little lakeside adventure with its hillside location. Richard, the hotel manager, is a joy! Full of stories and the warmest welcome. It's worth coming just to meet him. A small but perfectly formed pool, over looking the lake was a beautiful place to relax. We ate here for the two nights we stayed and had really wonderful meals. Staff were SOOoo friendly and helpful. We had a smaller room which was perfectly fine (very modern, every facility, and a nice view over the town rooves to the lake). Bigger options are available.

Accessibility... although staff do EVERYTHING possible to make this a minor issue.
