La Locanda del Cantiere

We chose this hotel spontaneously due to its high rating online, and it certainly lived up to it! The staff was incredibly helpful, and the rooms were carefully decorated and spotless. Our child loved the heated pool – it was small but clean and perfect for a relaxing swim with a stunning view of Lake Como. Breakfast was beautifully served at the hotel’s restaurant, adding a special touch to our mornings. The staff mentioned a spa is currently being developed, which sounds like a fantastic addition. We absolutely enjoyed our stay as a family and look forward to returning in the future!

Absolutely outstanding. The room was the best of the eight hotels we stayed in during our trip.

The view was fantastic and the breakfast was a big plus.

The parking was free but not ideal because restaurant guests took all of the spots. The hotel did make room for us eventually.

I had a wonderful one-night stay at La Locanda del Cantiere. The room was spacious, clean, and offered a beautiful view of the lake. The staff provided excellent service, making the experience truly memorable. The food at the restaurant was fantastic, with delicious Italian dishes made from fresh ingredients. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!

Large, cozy and tidy rooms at a terrific location directly at Lake Como. The restaurant was way better than those in the neaby cities like Como, which, unfortunately and openly necessarily, rather focus on the masses of tourists. The menu seemed to vary on a daily basis, the food was fresh (handmade pasta) and extremely delicious, and the service took care of all our desires. We ordered an extra spaghetti that were not on the menu, which the service and the kitchen prepared without any hesitation and without overpricing. Also the breakfast was convincing - a small but fresh selection full of tast (instead of the usual breakfast with supermarket pastries). We had a great time at La Locanda, both the hotel and the restaurant, and would recommend it to anybody.

We were very fortunate to be able to stay in one of the new suites at the top. The listing says that it is a 3-star hotel, but these suites were something you would find in a 4 or 5-star hotel. Everything was so peaceful and d relaxing. It was our own private oasis for two nights. Breakfast was really good and was included with our stay. The manager and all of the staff were so polite and accommodating to us. I would absolutely come back here and stay in one of these new suites again. I would highly recommend staying here in lieu of one of the overpriced villas if you are here to attend a wedding. I would also recommend having a car because getting around Lake Como can be challenging and taxis are overpriced and hard to get. Our two nights here were the most relaxing of our entire stay.

Pro tip: Rent a boat and they will drop it off and pick it up at the public dock right in front of the hotel. This was probably one of our favorite things about our trip to Lake Como and it was super convenient that we could get the boat right in front of our hotel!

Mike at La Locanda is a superb and helpful hotel manager.

Six rooms.
One restaurant.
Smiling staff.

The rooms: a place to relax and rejuvenate with a direct view of the lake and mountains.

The menu: simple menu with delicious offerings (if you love squid, you will love what they serve). The squid was perfect and heavenly. We had it two nights in a row.

The restaurant staff (hello Arthur!) always offer gracious serving assistance

La Locanda is beyond a charming place to stay. If you want to skip the big crowds and bus station feeling of big hotels this is the place to stay.

We need to find time to return here.

Very good hôtel, dîner price is raisonnable and good but breakfast is cheap in choice though, orange juice is even not fresh (with ice cube inside maybe because it’s concentrate.

There are many accommodations to choose from at Lake Como offering visitors a choice; however, the owners, manager and staff of La Locanda del Cantiere have figured out how to make their accommodation exceptionally appealing to the traveler. La Locanda del Cantiere's decor is a combination of the best of antiquity combined with contemporary. They offer world class comfort and offer everything (including the little things,) that make for a great stay. Rooms offer state of the art ambient lighting as well as outside lighting, windows that open for fresh air, electronic shades, views right on the lake, state of the art bathroom fixtures, showers with great water pressure and perfect drainage, top security with four bolts on room doors, high speed wifi and comfortable bedding. The facility offers an elevator so one doesn't have to carry luggage up stairs and excellent parking that is locked at night and accessible to guests at all hours via a combination lock. The restaurant next door has a perfectly wonderful breakfast in the morning, phenomenal decor, caring and attentive staff. The La Locanda del Cantiere Manager provides excellent service to his guests and takes the initiative to go above and beyond. This was my most favorite stay in all of the 9 places of lodging I stayed at during my visit to northern Italy. La Locanda del Cantiere can write the book on superior hospitality. Bravo to the La Locanda del Cantiere team!
