Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 20 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Belvedere Bellagio suits travellers wanting a family-run property with a long history, now in its fifth generation of ownership. A new spa includes a Turkish bath and sauna, and the private garden's outdoor pool sits alongside a panoramic restaurant terrace over the lake. Free parking is included as standard. The restaurant, however, opens only seasonally, breakfast is limited to sweet options, and not every room comes with a lake view, so it's worth requesting one at booking.
Guests score it 9.4 out of 10 — the average across the 16 hotels we list in Lake Como is 9.3.
What Guests Loved
- Since 1880, the same family has run the property across five generations, lending it a lived-in, personal character rarely found in larger hotel groups on Lake Como.
- The restaurant's terrace overlooks both the lake and surrounding mountains, offering a setting for lunch or dinner rather than a purely functional dining room.
Things to Consider
- The panoramic restaurant operates only from April to October, so travelers visiting outside this window will need to rely on other dining options nearby.
- Breakfast is described as sweet only, which may leave guests who prefer savory morning options wanting more variety or requesting alternatives in advance.
