Hotel Colonne

The location and especially the view.

No air conditioning and the restaurant a little bit overrated and expensive.

Amazing view over the valley, both from our room and balcony, as well as from the Restaurant. Nice, old-fashioned interiour. Friendly staff and the breakfast was great, too.

Location / mountain, cleanliness, staff friendliness, view, clean and tidy, big rooms, very quality restaurant and good chef!

Cost a little steep. If someone want to go out in the evenings - the vilage is very small so not much to do thus this location is probably not for you. One evening for some time there was quite a bit of cigarete smell from the inside smoking area in the floor near the restaurant (probably poor ventilation / extraction)

1- great location in santa maria del monte & suitable for sports incampo dei fiori2 - efficient service3 - beautiful view from the restaurant4- wll functioning wifi5 clean and confortable rooms

breakfast buffet has room for improvement

1- The view 2- the mother of the chef . Which was very kind

The hotel manager was dishonest by charging for breakfast despite advertising it as included in the room rate. Due to time constraints before catching a flight, addressing this issue was not feasible. I paid and left The only positive aspect was the friendly elderly lady who is the chef mother. That iself is a reason not to come again to this hotel. However here are the rest if the reason I wouldn’t consider this hotel again: 1- The hotel's location is distant from major attractions.2- Accessing the location is difficult, involving a challenging 10-15-minute uphill drive with sharp turns and narrow roads.3- The property is old and not adequately clean, with visible cobwebs in the room.4- Poor sound insulation due to the wooden structure results in noise transfer from neighboring rooms.5- Breakfast options are limited, mainly sweet and bakery items with no healthy choices.6-Guests are required to pay for parking, adding an extra cost to their stay.

Great location and very friendly staff. Also very high level restaurant available

The staff were amazing, very friendly, accommodating and welcoming. The property, although tranquil, is not in close proximity to amenities or the town centre. The property has parking available, however it costs 10EURO per day.

I didn't like how the parking costs 10EURO per day.

Nice friendly staff, comfortable room, stunning view from the balcony, excellent breakfast.

Challenging location to reach through narrow streets. Restaurant was expensive although the food was excellent.

The staff were very welcoming. We wish we could have also had a chance to try the food there, it looked excellent, but we didn't get a chance as we were short on time:)

Prime location, beautiful scenery, nice and clean hotel, sacred and historic site, and Michelin star restaurant with amazing chef Silvio Battistoni!

Beware of some moskitos...

Beautiful location above Lake Varese. Very friendly owners and exceptional food on location.

Room was chilly in the evening.

This property exudes old world charm, and the views are spectacular. The drive up the mountain to the hotel is a little bit shaky because of the narrow road and hairpin turns, but that’s part of the charm. Situated in a small village atop Santa Maria del Monte whose main focal point is a magnificent UNESCO recognized church covered with frescoes, statues and mosaics. One can spend the day exploring the history, streets and alleys of the village. And the majestic views from the hotel are stunning!Now, the Hotel restaurant - simply amazing! We had an “eight thoughts of the chef” experience that featured eight separate courses of divine creativity , superb presentation, attentive service and exquisite dining. The meal was magnificent and could have been better ONLY if it had been warm enough to dine al fresco. The decision to stay here was spur of the moment, and it was truly the highlight of our journey. we highly recommend Hotel Colonne!

The view of lake Varese.Chef restaurant with special dinner.

The hotel is old and the room/bed is not so updated and comfortable.Breakfast is very poor.

Great location, great view, the staff was very nice

There is no mini fridge just minibar

What a beautiful hotel, in an even more beautiful location! The room was big, clean, nice wooden floors and a balcony with. a stunning view over. the valley. And the cherry on the cake is the restaurant...wow, Michelin star worthy ;-)
