Ok.
The room was pretty small and the elevator can handle only 2 people, not very convenient. Breakfast was ok. The view from our room was pretty. The people attending the place were nice.

To get there you have to drive up some seriously steep narrow winding roads, only to find out that there are charges for their parking spot and breakfast which are not worth the cost.

Lovely setting with a gorgeous view of Lake Como.
Charming and lovely, this hotel has a picturesque setting that will make it feel like home. Lovely owners who helped us with a problem and were so accommodating. We loved our stay here. The restaurant was lovely and the food amazing! Both the owner and staff were friendly and so professional, working hard to be of service. Amazing stay at Alberto Vista Lago!

Well located in Brunate
The hotel is well located overlooking Como City and we had a glimpse of Lake Como from our Balcony. I got the feeling that the albergo was just wakening from it’s winter slumber as there were few signs of activity in the restaurant or bar and certainly no locals around. However the hotel and Brunate thanks to the very handy funicular makes an excellent base for discovering the Lake Como area.

Seven day stay in Albergo Vista Largo
The road to Brunate is very steep with extremely tight bends. You can get to the hotel by Train and Funicular if you want Our room (22) although very clean was very cramped and not suitable for a seven night stay. Opening the wardrobe doors was impossible along with draws. There was no place to sit around a table to drink or read. No drink making facilities in the room. This was very bad due to breakfast service starting at 8am. A very modern large TV but no English speaking station at all. Only Italian terrestrial TV. This is very poor in comparison to almost any hotel in Italy. There was only a shower in the bathroom which was also tiny. Very basic soap and body wash. We travel to italy a lot and this room is very poor in comparison to the many we have stayed in Breakfast was very limited either tea, orange juice and a croissant for €5. Or an omelette can be served in addition for €10 per person. The breakfast room or dinning room was clean and not pleasant to eat in. It seems to cater for customers coming up on the funicular railway for a snack. You would not eat your evening meal in the hotel It's a clean hotel with pleasant staff but not in any way homely or inviting to the guest BE WARNED THE HOTEL SOMETIMES CLOSES VERY EARLY AND YOU ARE GIVEN A KEY TO ACCESS VIA A SIDE ENTRANCE. THE LOCK IS A BIT FIDDLELY IN THE LATE EVENING. There are no staff on site during the night and we were given the catering mangers phone number in an emergency.

Great hotel at superb location
The hotel is located at a beautiful location at the mountains town of Brunate. The Sorroundings are beautiful and the views are from up there are wonderful. We used a fernicular to travel between the hotel and the city centre and the views of the city going up and down the fernicular are breathtaking. The hotel is small and has that homely atmosphere which is very nice. The staff are very friendly and attentive, especially the owner Ralph. We would get to the hotel from excursions very late in the evening at least past 9pm and very hungry and the owner was always happy to prepare food for us so we don't go to bed hungry. I was there for my birthday and I was given a free bottle of champagne to celebrate it by the owner. The owner also arranged for a taxi transfer for us as we were flying back to England very early in the morning from Milan and we got picked up at 4am by taxi. 2 minutes via a cable train and you are in the city centre where there is all the tourist sights, the harbour, and a number of beaches. The hotel has a lovely Rooftop restaurant with a beautiful views of the city of Como. I really recommend staying here for a super experience of travelling around Como.

Quiet & Clean Hotel
We stayed here as an alternative to the overpriced hotels in near Lake Como. The hotels location is great in terms of being right up the street from the funicular. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. The room does not have air conditioning but a staff member was nice enough and accommodated us with a fan. The wifi isn't great, doesn't work well at night but is great during the morning. The little town of Brunate is beautiful but you can see most of it in two hours. All together it was a nice stay.

Out of the Way Location
We stayed at this hotel during early July. Getting to this hotel is somewhat of an adventurous drive through some narrow, steep, and twisty road. The hotel is OK and has some great views, but could use some modernizing. Food in the restaurant was also OK, but not great. Parking is very limited and difficult to come by. The cable car ride down to Como is a cool experience.

Brilliant - definitely coming aback!
I had such a great time - all i wanted to do was drink wine, eat food and rest after a hectic week of travelling across northern Italy, and that's exactly what i got! Thanks to Ralph and the team for making it so easy and relaxing for me!

The room is warm and comfortable, clean towels and good smell. The view is AMAZING, staff is super nice and gentle. You pay for coffee and food for breakfast but the price is very good for guests of the hotel.

Amazing view...top of the world!
There isn't anything about Brunate & Como that we don't love. And staying at Vista Lago is the perfect way to enjoy it. The room was clean, cozy, comfortable with a million dollar (euro) view. The owner was very welcoming. We will definitely stay there again!

Considerations before booking
There was no air-conditioning nor fan so keeping balcony doors open is the only relief to summer heat. However, you will notice that there is no net/screen to keep bugs out. Also, there is a Church with a loud bell ringing evety hour for each hour (I.e. 6 times at 6pm). For check ins after 2pm the restaurant manager doubles as the hotel manager, which since there is no formal check-in desk means you just wait at the coffee bar until someone arrives to help you.

Sweet hotel to get away
We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The staff were awesome and the room was clean and fresh. It is a very interesting drive to the hotel up a very narrow lane but it was so nice to be out of the busy area

Lovely B&B!
This place was simply wonderful! We arrived in the mid afternoon and checked in with no problem. The room was very clean and had a lovely view. We ate at the restaurant downstairs and were very pleased! The same gentleman that checked us in prepared our meal in the kitchen. I had the lasagna and it was delicious! It was very quiet with very few other guests. I wish we had stayed more than one night! They even let us leave our bags in the room and "check out" later!

Spectacular view, exciting drive
The hotel is located in Como suburbia on a mountain overlooking the city of Como and the lake with the surprisingly spectacular view from a balcony of every room (we even stayed extra day because of it). If you are a confident driver, you will share my excitement from the 5-km road from Como to the hotel, and finding a parking spot will be quite an entertaining challenge, since most of the empty spaces that don't block the streets are reserved for the registered residents only. For the reluctant commuter-type drivers I recommend the funicular line that runs from Como center to within 1-minute walk from a hotel (5.50 euros round-trip, operates till midnight in summer). Hotel personnel are inviting and helpful, but they speak only a few words in English. Breakfast is minimal, but it matches the hotel price range. The area is extremely quite at night (some might even say too quite) except for the neighboring church bells in the morning. The town of Como looks much better from the hotel balcony, than it does from the city center. Nice base to make half-day car trips along the shores of lake Como.

Highly recommended
Best place to stay while in Como. 25euro taxi fare from train station, which is a set price. Absolutely a fabulous location, Swiss alps in distance, Como accessable by a venicular with station very close to hotel. Bathroom a bit squeezy but but excellent facilities. Good value for money. Early check out difficult as manager not on site.

Hotel provides gorgeous overview of the lake and mountains. Location is quite convenient, hotel is about 100m from the top of funicular (~8min ride, EUR5.50 return ticket) which starts at about 300m from the train station (Como Nord Lago). The breakfast was fine. Staff was friendly. Rooms are quite small and unfortunately not very clean (as well as towels) which was a major disappointment. Also note that the reception is closed before 2pm.
