Albergo del Duca

Location is central - can walk from station and a short walk to ferry. Breakfast is continental style (no hot food). The room itself was good - nice modern bathroom, comfortable bed, all very clean and well maintained. I had room 111 with the window opening onto an internal walkway and small outdoor sitting area. To get any ventilation, you had to open the only window onto this internal area. The other issue was lots of noise from the restaurant kitchen - the noise was funnelled up from below via a narrow staircase that was opposite my room door. So noise from dinner service & clearing up afterwards was a constant every night. Even worse was being woken at 12:30am on two of my four nights stay by loud banging of pots on one night and a heated argument the other night. I think the hotel needs to install a door or something on that staircase to block the restaurant noise as that degree of noise, especially around midnight, is unacceptable for guests.

We are a family of three and have just returned from a four night stay in Como , visiting for the Monza Grand Prix. What a wonderful weekend in a beautiful part of the world and our stay was genuinely enhanced staying at this lovely hotel!! The owners are a lovely couple and are actively involved in the day to day running of the hotel. They cannot do enough to make your stay memorable.The place is quaint, extremely clean and everything is well presented. Our room was on it's own on the third floor which was great, even having it's own bistro table and chairs on the small tiled open corridor to sit out and enjoy a coffee/etc. Bed and pillows were extremely comfortable, the linen and towels quality. Breakfast was more than adequate with cereals, fruit,ham,cheese,eggs,toast, juices, etc and coffee made to order and lovely fresh pastries. We ate at their restaurant here a lot for dinner, mainly as we were tired in the evenings after long days activities and you can just step out of the hotel and dine in the balmy open air in a wonderfully calm atmospheric square, with great attentive staff. The food was really good, especially their pizzas and there is a good selection of wines and everything was very reasonably priced considering the locality. Lots of other bars and restaurants a short walk away if required, but we felt why bother. Would certainly recommend and confident we will return. Grazie mille

Stayed 4 nights at this quaint hotel. Sara the owner and her husband, plus all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms 113 and 114 look out onto the small square, while 111 and 112 look onto the internal patio with a few table and chairs just for guests. Internal rooms quieter if that is more important to you than a nice view. All rooms have been updated (April 2022) and are spotless and comfortable. Room 113 has a full shower, and 114 a smaller shower (think cruise ship)...both bathrooms are a good size. Location is close to the lake, funicular, boat tour dock, and literally hundreds of great restaurants. Highly recommend this host family owned hotel.
