Hotel Colonne | Hotel in Santa Maria del Monte

A beautiful gem of a hotel situated on Mt. Varese, quiet and with an impeccable view of the surroundings. A great destination for a little getaway. The building itself is old, but charming and well-kept. Our room extended across two floors, with the bedroom on the bottom and the bathroom (with a shower cell, toilet and bidet) upstairs. The bedroom led out on a large balcony, providing a remarkable view of the mountainside and the lake. The room was clean and tidy. We went in august and the weather was very hot, with temperatures staying high at night. The rooms have no air-conditioning, which might be an issue for some people. We had dinner at the restaurant twice and enjoyed it both times, with good food and very fresh ingredients - remarkably so, considering the rather remote location. My vegetarian partner was accomodated nicely, without prior notice from us, which is always appreciated. The staff was always attentive, calm and nice. We very much enjoyed our stay and will gladly return!

Hotel and places was good disappointing that Expedia did not include the parking what I was charged 10 euros per day by the hotel

the hotel was about a 8/10 but the service was excellent and the balcony view and space really made the stay. on the Monday night the restaurant was closed so we got ham, cheese, wine, bread etc., from a supermarket and ate al fresco on the balcony, which was wonderful The following evening we ate in the restaurant which was great and they catered for my gluten free requirement. We were treated to an amazing storm so we were able to sit on the balcony and watch - which was totally awesome. The parking was a bit tricky. 3 spaces downstairs and maybe 8 upstairs but a bit tight and you'll need to park up the way and walk down if you arrive much past 7 I would say.

Lovely tranquil place with a wonderful gourmet restaurant.

We stopped at Hotel Colonne for the World Championship bicycle race in Varese. We had an accident in the hire car and Silvio owner / chef looked after the problem allowing us to prepare a bicycle for one of the Great Britain team riders. Silvio's food and hospitality is also World class along with a selection of fine wines.

Nice little hotel nice view , quiet please, nice restaurant definitely come back

Lovely hotel near Sacro Monte di Varese, lovely view and room. Staff are friendly, the only downside was the restaurant and bar were always closed.

We were a group of four persons, cousins staying in two rooms. The hotel staff were very friendly and most kind. I'm afraid the meals were not so exceptional as made out to be but, on the whole, our stay could be considered quite enjoyable.

Beautiful room opening to a private balcony overlooking the town and a lemon tree. One suggestion would be to arrive in the daylight. Navigation to this hotel is very tricky!

Super hotel, very good value for money, super staff, but did not meet the owner, who I think could have introduced himself to my wife and I. Area is stunning, with lots of walks etc. Only problem is the Wifi, or lack of it. There is supposed to be a connection!! Breakfast was adequate but limited, but at least there was English breakfast tea. We stayed in room 4, which was lovely, very comfy bed and good sitting areas. Bathroom good. Amazing views from balcony
