Villa Clementina Boutique Hotel

As someone who never or rarely leaves a review I felt undeniably compelled to share how wonderful my experience was at villa clementina. My stay was brief but my experience of the time I was there could not have been better. The staff were so attentive and genuinely seemed to care about every detail. At dinner the chef, who was so fun, offered to make anything I wanted. My request was to please prepare whatever you think I would enjoy. The pasta dish presented was his personal favorite and it was just incredible. Hope to return soon as lake Como is breathtaking and I couldn’t imagine a better place to stay while there! Thank you for everything. Jason Handler

There are so very many things to LOVE about Villa Clementina, starting with the property and it's unique positioning on the slope of a mountainside. One can simply breathe in the views and immediately reduce any stress experienced while driving through the narrow, winding roads en route to this lovely place to unwind! The rooms are impeccably clean and well organized, maximizing available space. The Chef prepares a tightly curated menu each evening and if you truly wish to chill there is no need to even leave the property to enjoy scrumptious meals served by a very caring staff. The owners are invested in your experience and are on property regularly. Can't leave a review without sharing the truly superb and effusive charm of dapper Richard, who heads the staff in providing such excellent service. A newsletter greats you each morning with a few facts about the area and the staff members who are serving you and maintain the property. The Villa sits just at the beginning of an 8 mile stretch of scenic views of the lake, so if you love to walk or run this Villa is a great choice. Can't say enough about this ensemble cast and how much they CARE about your time and experience with them!

Was truly nothing to dislike about the experience at Villa Clemintina! We were there for a wedding... and the "path" from the hotel to the parking garage can be tricky in heels. So let them know your comings/goings and they'll slip you into a golf cart to get you from Villa to parking! They have considered every detail and have you covered!

Staff was friendly

You are parking the car and then after taking the elevator you need to walk 2-3 min against to the hill. If weather is hot thats a miserable, also at night of you are coming late thats also not nice. For the value rooms are very small, they have a complimentary water but they poured it over the sink. I thin value of the hotel should be at least halved

The only way to describe Villa Clementina is spectacular. My wife and I went away for the first time to Lake Como and after reviewing multiple hotel options on the lake, landed on Villa Clementina. We had the Villa Clementina Suite for 5 nights and despite the pictures and videos, it surpassed out expectations. Waking up every day looking at mountains sloping from the sky down to the blue lake. Literally one day we woke up and were eye level with white clouds floating over the lake. The setting is stunning and somehow the staff, service, and food match the beauty.The communication ahead of time to prepare was so helpful and everyone was so responsive. They provided directions to anywhere we needed to go, scheduled tours, and provided us truly anything we needed while there.The staff is always so pleasant, informed, and ready to please. It feels like you are a part of a small family in a small town on Lake Como that makes you feel so welcome. With a private garage to park if you drive and located on the Lago di Como greenway you can get around confidently and easily. The food was wonderful. The menu changed multiple times with daily specials including fresh local fish. The chef would come out and meet us and talk about the dishes. He even offered to make my wife tuna tartare at 10:00pm and send it to the room! Breakfast was great each morning and the view from the dining room is unbeatable. At no point did my wife and I feel unrelaxed and can't speak highly enough of the experience. I hope we are able to go back and would recommend Villa Clementina to anyone looking for a quaint, romantic, relaxing experience. Thank you to everyone at Villa Clementina for making our experience so memorable.

Only constructive comment would be to have an iron or steamer in each room for guests. No other critiques!

Love the water so close a little to far from the wedding venue and no Uber service after 11

Clean

Great room, clean, comfortable and very friendly staff

The climbing from the parking elevator to the entrance of the villa.Breath taking. Literally. Not only the view

The room was very nice! The view is unbelievable! We like the hotel so much. It's quite small but very nice, new and clean. The breakfast was very good as well!

The Como Lake is a lot of towns around so we used the car and it was perfect. If you don't have a car, it might be not so convenient to stay in small Colonno because you need to go often in bigger towns.

Wonderful location with beautiful views. Small boutique hotel with personal attention and really nice staff. The diners are great!

If I had to say one thing, the lunch salad was a bit simple for that money.

Everything! The location - it was quiet but close enough to get transport to other nearby locations. The staff - they were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. The hotel - it was perfect in every way, especially the pool area and dining area.

Nothing!

Very friendly staff. The food of the breakfast and dinner at the restaurant were very good. The location is a top location in a very quite village Colonno, away from the busy villages (Bellagio, Mennagio, etc.), ideal for a relaxing holiday with your partner. The infinity pool and jacuzzi are very nice with amazing view on the lake and comfortable relaxing spots.The room was clean with comfortable bed.

The hotel and staff were excellent, especially the service. Nothing was too much trouble and we were looked after extremely well, Orietta needs a special mention!

Book well in advance as room 203 is located at the back of the building so can’t take advantage of the amazing views. However, the restaurant and pool area allows you to take in the Lake Como scenery.

Wonderful place if a little quirky to get to (street level car park, then elevator then 2 min transfer via golf buggy) - very professional and friendly with great staff, excellent food and we had a wonderful room with perfect views over the Lake

All good (with the nearby church bells sounding over 30 times at 7:00am no need to set a alarm ?)

Incredible location, great rooms, nice service.

Breakfast

Up to date facilities, delicious restaurant on site, relaxing pool.

Hard to get the hotel room cool enough for sleep. Bed only had comforter without a thinner sheet which also made it hot for sleeping.

- Great location- Good food

- Quite pricey for what it is- Room could be bigger

The view was stunning. And the hotel was relatively new and in good condition. Breakfast was good, Colin, the guy from Scotland very attentive and nice. But that’s about it.

Way too expensive compared to what it had to offer: We booked a Junior Suite for roughly 400€ per night and the room was facing the mountain. Lake view only from the small side window of the room. Quality of dinner food was mediocre. Very complicated to find and then to get to from the parking garage. Very uncomfortable. Multiple rejections of different credit cards, in the end had to pay through PayPal. Colonno had nothing to offer, relatively boring village. Owners and reception personnel came across as professional but genuine hospitality was lacking. Felt like a capital investment to make money.

The Villa is a small boutique hotel in the town of Colonno which is pretty quiet (except for a rooster in the morning) and we did not find much to do around the area. The location is a far from tourist areas and managing transportation around the lake is a bit tricky unless you rent a car, and this hotel has it's own garage. We were in a Superior King suite which has STUNNING views. The concierge and staff were very friendly and helpful and booked us taxis (really expensive) and organized a boat ride with "Boat Lake Como 1975" - this is a must because the prices and captain are amazing! The room and bathroom were clean and modern.

On our first night we found a scorpion in the room, second night a spider the size of my palm and spiderwebs all over the balcony, but thats the price of beautiful natural surroundings. Hotel entrance is only accessible by foot or a buggy which take you up a semi-steep incline. You need to coordinate with conceirge for luggage and everytime you want to leave/return to the hotel unless you enjoy the walk up and are physically able. The reception area is tiny, breakfast was a bit limited but you can order ala carte and no room service at night. If you are looking for luxury and pampering this might not be for you.

What a lovely place! The most beautiful view across Lake Como, the pool was divine and the Green Way walking trail basically starts at the hotel. The staff (Diego, Colin and Giada) were just wonderful - nothing was too much trouble and they clearly enjoyed what they were doing. Breakfast and dinners on the property were delicious and there's a really nice restaurant (La Comacina) right on the Lake, 15 minutes walk away.

We had some trouble with our air conditioning, but it was handled very professionally. The only other thing to be aware of (and it's pretty clear on the hotel's website) is that there's not a lot around it in terms of shops and (with the exception of La Comacina) restaurants, so you really need a car.

Unusual Small Hotel. Spotless. Very , very friendly, helpful staff.

The lovely Restaurant was closed for the day we were there. The Hotel needs to send their staff out to review the local restaurants. our best meal in our 10 day tour was near this hotel, but I can't remember the name of it; next village, Como Direction, opposite the public carpark strip.

Villa Clementina was a great place to stay, away from the busier towns of Lake Como. The rooms are spacious with a modern style. The restaurant was excellent and staff were friendly helping us with all our questions.
