Residence L'Ulivo

Booked here and did not realize that this is a sort of apartment off the main property of a lager hotel. Room was super hot and they would not turn on air conditioning (even though room temp 85 degrees F) because it was April. We left it to stay in the main hotel which was awesome but cost 200 more euros per night. That place was awesome.

Our apartment was clean and spacious. No, not luxurious like the Grand Hotel, but perfect for adults and teenage child at a reasonable price. The view was amazing and the location to food, shopping and ferry were outstanding. Our flight was moved, so we had to cut our stay short, but wish we could have taken advantage of the indoor swimming pool and enjoyed the outdoor grounds more. The room doesn't have a coffee maker, but just a few minutes walk is a little "bar" with tables on the street. The apartment wasn't very soundproof as the family below us was clearly heard, but luckily they checked out the day after we checked in.

The view is amazing. The apartment was spacious and had parking right out front. If you have time, take advantage of the main hotel lakeside area and indoor pool/spas. Check in is at the main hotel. Use that address for GPS. It would be nice if they provided and couple of bottles of water and coffee to make in the room.

We stayed here at season’s end. It was peaceful with a great location. The view of the mountains was a morning treat. The staff was very nice and efficient. Looking forward to the next stay.

Most hotels provide complimentary coffee/tea and water in their guest rooms as standard amenities but this isn't one of them. A little tricky to make it to the hotel but the location is great. The room was clean although it could use some updating.

Excellent choice! Good value w access to facilities of the grand hotel made it a perfect choice of place to stay

We’ve just returned from a three night stay here and can easily recommend. We had a large apartment and it provided more than enough space for the two of us, especially when you consider that we only really needed a base to shower and sleep. The kitchen seemed to have everything you need (not having a coffee machine - or even cafetière is unusual for a European apartment, but I checked on this beforehand so it wasn’t a surprise). Bathroom was fully stocked with toiletries. There’s a small supermarket a 5min walk away to stock up on drinks and snacks for when you’re not out and about. Also a pharmacy very close by should you need it. Full use of the main hotel is great, felt no different to any other resident. We didn’t have breakfast in the hotel (€30 pp seemed steep even for Bellagio) but we did eat in La Goletta and had several cocktails from the hotel and pool bar, all was of very high quality but also very expensive. There probably are cheaper apartments in Bellagio, but none of them will provide you with the experience of being a guest at the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, just being able to use the entrance when others are walking past makes you feel very fancy. All in all, it’s an easy recommend. Let’s face it, you don’t go to Bellagio for a bargain break so you might as well splash out a little.

The location of this hotel can’t be beat if you are using public transportation. What a wonderful surprise to come up from the metro station and see the hotel right across the street. The hotel itself was very comfortable. The desk staff could have been a little more helpful.

We had a great stay at Residence L'Ulivo for 3 nights. The price is great value compared to other options in walking distance to Bellagio, as well as having access to Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni facilities including the incredible lakeside pool. The main hotel is a 2 minute walk from the apartments so did feel slightly separate, but not an issue when you're paying a faction of the price and all the staff still treat you like a hotel guest. The apartment was well equipped, clean and large. The location is amazing, Bellagio is a lot quieter once the last ferry boat departs around 7pm, and it was great to experience the bars and restaurants without so many tourists. Good location on the lake for visiting other towns via the public ferry boats, the hotel also has a private jetty if you want to organise a private boat which I would recommend for a few hours (Bellagio Charter). Would love to stay again and recommending to anyone wanting to stay in Bellagio!
