Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 23 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como is best suited to travellers seeking extensive wellness facilities alongside genuine privacy. The 40-yard infinity pool stretches out over the lake, and two stand-alone villas offer a further level of seclusion for those wanting complete separation from the main hotel. Five treatment rooms make up the wellness centre, and vast gardens surround the property throughout. Blevio's location requires transport into Como town, a free shuttle service is provided for this, though some rooms lack the lake-view balconies found elsewhere on the property.
Guests score it 9.4 out of 10 — the average across the 15 hotels we list in Lake Como is 9.3.
- The heated 40-yard infinity pool cantilevers over Lake Como, with a sun deck, cabanas and umbrellas, making it a defining feature for guests seeking a scenic spot to relax.
- For travelers wanting extra privacy or space, the two stand-alone villas offer a more secluded alternative to standard guestrooms, suited to families or longer stays.
- Blevio is a quiet village on the lake, so guests wanting nightlife or a wider choice of restaurants will need to arrange transport, though the hotel's shuttle helps offset this.
- Rates at this property align with its five-star positioning and lake-view setting, which may put it beyond the budget of some travelers compared to nearby alternatives.
