Beautiful view and attentive staff.
The guy who checked us in was super attentive. I don’t remember his name but he was basically running the place and he helped us find things around town and even made a few phone calls for us to schedule a covid test at a local pharmacy. Super helpful! Google maps takes you up the North road to the hotel and it is very narrow. I would suggest going up the south side of the hotel. The view from the room was absolutely gorgeous. He also brought us a very nice breakfast to our table on the terrace. It was wonderful. No complaints. Be aware there is no a/c, but the fan provided was sufficient during our stay in late July.

My husband and I spent a beautiful holiday along with our extended family (we had 2 rooms bookee for all 5 of us infant included). It is our third time at Garzola and it will be our place to return to for our family. The view is spectacular over Lake Como, breakfast and dinner delicious and the rooms look newly rennovated with clean sheets and soft towels. Michel is outstanding and provides us with extremely helpful tips every time we return to Garzola. Definitely recommend it to everyone for an authentic Lombardian experience (we loved the cooked risotto, the selection of cheese, pasta, meat and home made wine) and the unique views at day and night offering a tranquil sense. Love Garzola!

My family and I had a wonderful holiday (spent 6 nights and 7 days) in a quadruple (mini apartment) with baby cot available which we used as baby box to have our infant play. Spectacular view over Lake Como Equisite breakfast and dinner prepared by Michel (a very dedicated and hard working professional) New furniture High quality of the towels Clean rooms, bathroom Easy and available places to park the car inside the Garzola courtyard Chaise-longues available The best orzo, ginseng and coffee in the area Michel gave us plenty of useful recommendations what to visit and where to eat. He also helped us with a bakery to order a birthday cake and store it in the fridge. Look forward to returning to this gem and build more memories with my family! Thank you, B&B Garzola! We really felt at home!

Never actually stayed!
We never actually stayed at the hotel as we were moved hotels as they had overbooked. The hotel we were moved to didn't allow dogs (which is why we chose the original hotel in the first place) then we had to travel again 55mins to our final hotel which we were then only allowed in the room at 11.30pm as hotels.com hadn't made the payment. Not great with a 6 month old baby also! Two hours (plus) spent on the phone to sort it all out.

Great B&B on Lake Como.
B&B in Ossucio near Lenno on Lake Como. Although away from the shore up the hill our room was large and the terrace overlooked the lake. Michel is a wonderful host and helped us with tips on parking and wonderful local restaurants. Nice breakfast and grounds. This trip was restful and memorable.

Stunning lake views and great hospitality
We stayed for 4 nights with 2 teenage boys and had an amazing time. We were made to feel very welcome and loved the fresh bread and croissants as part of the breakfasts. We ate ouside every morning with stunning views and ate delicious pizza some evenings too. We travelled by train and bus from the airport and used bus and ferries from Lenno during our stay. It is a steep walk from Lenno so you need to be reasonably fit or have a car. Everything we'd hoped for and would love to stay again one day.

Beautiful views a steep walk from Lenno
Beautiful views. Best service. Clean rooms. Delicious continental breakfasts, pizza and pasta. We were made to feel very welcome and didn't want to leave! We will miss sitting outside looking at the views in the morning and evening. We used bus and boats to explore the area and walked to nearby Lenno for gelato. The children enjoyed the pool; a lovely way to cool down on a hot day. Michel spoke many languages and went above and beyond the expected service. Grazie mille!

Lovely B and B with wonderful lake views
We stayed for 10 nights at Garzola with our two children and had a wonderful time. Michel and Leonardo, the owners, made us feel so welcome. The breakfasts were lovely, the whole place was kept spotlessly clean with daily house keeping in our room. It's a perfect location for exploring the surrounding area, and Lenno the nearest town is a 15 minute walk down the hill, has a beautiful promenade and there is a boat terminal here for visiting all the attractions of Lake Como. We ate at the restaurant at Garzola lots of times and the food was great and home cooked. Viva 'Vecchia Signora'!

A hidden gem on Lake Como
We had a beautiful lakefront room overlooking Lake Como. Breathtaking views, a lovely B & B with an amazing host Michel. He was very attentive showing us the room and asking if everything was fine. He was always on site to meet our needs and was readily accessible. We ate dinner at the restaurant several times. It was great fresh food with lots of choice. My son had lake trout prepared simply and delicious. Breakfast was plentiful with fresh salami, proscuitto, sliced cheese, eggs, amazing croissants and much more. The cappucino's were excellent. We had a great stay here and highly recommend it with breathtaking views of Lake Como. We took the local ferry to Bellagio and Varenna and enjoyed every moment. We look forward to returning again.

Stayed here for 2 nights recently, my room was comfortable and very clean. The best part however is the magnificent views of Lake Como and the helpfulness of the staff. Michel was fantastic and went beyond the call of service, a thoroughly nice man who helped me without asking. I highly recommend this place for its relaxed atmosphere and great staff.

Amazing hotel, great location and superb staff.
The hotel is in a beautiful location overlooking the lake. A group of nine of us stayed there whilst visiting for a wedding at the lake. Michele and the staff are wonderful and nothing is too much trouble. The breakfasts were amazing, some of the best croissants we've ever eaten. The rooms were really modern and clean. We ate in the restaurant one evening which was also lovely. It's about a 15-20 minute walk into Lenno town and I'd have no hesitation in staying at Locanda Garzola again.

Great for families and what a view!
As a family of 4, we rented a one bedroom with additional sofa bed, to our delight when we arrived we were placed in room 9. For the price, it was HUGE! We had a good sized bedroom, double sofa bed plus single bed in lounge, two dining tables, well equipped kitchenette and bathroom with most amazing shower. It was perfect for our family. Both the brothers go out of their way to make you feel really welcome and happy, nothing is too much trouble. The breakfast is a continental buffet and there is plenty to eat. We ate there one night in the evening too - great pizzas. The pool is small but the view from pool is so stunning. It is located up the hill so walking back there from Lake Como is very uphill but manageable. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay again - fantastic value for money and wonderful hospitality. Thank you for a great stay.

Amazing, perfect stay!
My stay here was absolutely perfect. The views from the rooms are incredible and the location of the "hotel" is perfect. You can walk to almost everywhere that's popular to see in Lake Como and a main boat marina that allows you to navigate wherever you need to go is only 1 km away. However the best part was the staff. I cannot say ENOUGH amazing things about the two brothers that own and operate this place. The level of service and kindness they provide is incredible. I couldn't believe how well the treated all of their guests especially considering how affordable their place is. They really take great care of all who stay here and provide the "little" things that matter -- complimentary beverages, snacks, bottled water, wi-fi, cable, etc. The house is so comfortable you will feel like you are staying at home. The rooms are really modern and super clean and have everything you need. I wish I could've stayed here longer, I HIGHLY HIGHLY reccommend this place to anyone staying in Lake Como for any amount of time!!! It's perfect!

Good value in excellent location if you have a car
We never expected to stay in this very convenient location with such wonderful views of Lake Como at such good value. With access to Tremezzina and ferry to Bellagio just a short ride across the lake. Beautiful boutique shops with silks and accessories from Como and plenty of Restaurants made Bellagio a village to remember. Take the ferry with or without your car. It is easier to drive to the hotel from Como in the South rather than the North as this is very slow and narrow. The area surrounding the hotel has lovely walks leading down to the Lake or to the nearby old historical Church.

Picturesque and perfect!
Incredibly kind and accommodating staff! Michel went above and beyond to make sure that every aspect of our stay was enjoyable. Yes, there is a steep walk up the hill to reach the B&B, but every step is worth it because it results in a beautiful view at the top. It is a five minute walk to the lake and a two minute walk to the beginning of a tour of the local, historical monasteries. I'd highly recommend checking out the local hiking trails. There's an easier one to historic San Benedetto, or a harder one up the mountain to Baffalora. I'm writing this review from a 4 star hotel near Milan that pales in comparison to Locanda Garzola is all aspects. Thank you, Michel and staff, we hope to be back some day!

Absolutely great
Everything was impressive; our room was next to new, as was the bathroom and both were faultlessly clean every day. The man running operations was friendly, helpful and generally the toe of person you want to have around. The views from the room were stunning, and whilst it is a long and seriously uphill trek for those mad enough (like us) to walk it from Lenno, the location isn't bad at all. Completely recommended.

Amazing place to stay! Very well maintained, friendly and helpful staff, outstanding views, just gorgeous place. I'm so happy I chose this place. The only little concern it's not easy to find. It requires "Google" ing before arrival just to have an idea about location. A couple of directing road signs would help. Other than that - great.
