Villa Clementina Boutique Hotel

Exceeded expectations on all levels. Richard was a gracious host/manager. Dining staff friendly & attentive. Food was great.

Soggiorno meraviglioso in questo hotel con una vista spettacolare sul Lago di Como. La colazione è davvero gustosa e la cena eccellente. Lo staff è gentilissimo e accogliente, compreso lo Chef, che ci ha fatto sentire come a casa. Consigliatissimo!

From the start our experience was lovely and felt very special. We were collected from the parking by a buggy which took us to the hotel. Our room was lovely with amazing views over Lake Como and its own balcony. We decided to eat in the hotel on our first night and were given a table outside by the pool, which was a pretty setting and we had an amazing view of the sunset over the lake and the mountains. The food is thoughtfully prepared using some fresh produce from the hotel garden and delicious, so much so we eat there on our second night as well. Breakfast is equally as good with a variety of options. Both waitresses were friendly and knowledgeable, Anna made sure we had everything we wanted. Tina in charge of reception helped us to organise our day exploring the lake. Richard was so interesting to talk to and explained the story of how the hotel started and plans for the future. In the day the pool, hot tub and sun loungers all have fabulous views of the lake. Colonno a short walk down the path, that runs by the side hotel, is an unspoilt fishing village with a beautiful church and small harbour. We both agreed that the hotel exceeded our expectations and we’ve recommended it to lots of friends and family.

I honestly can’t think of anything.

Lovely clean and comfortable hotel with great, accommodating staff, who went the extra mile to courier a small bag to us, that we had forgotten

No complaints

The staff were very friendly and made you feel welcome. The views were breath taking.

Was all good.

Amazing stay

Location, view and pool were fabulous 💛

The room was extremely small but very clean and tidy so did not mind that much.

De ligging, de service en alles super mooi aangelegd

Sincere thanks to all hotel staff. We really enjoyed our three‑day stay and appreciated everyone’s kindness. Special thanks to Richard for all his great help, especially on our wedding‑photo day. Sorry my English isn’t good enough to express everything I feel. The hotel is clean, food fresh and the environment very peaceful. We had a lovely time.

the staff was very nice, especially Anna and Paolo. The food was very good.

The hotel is small and the elevator was tiny.

Everything , staff so nice

Nothing

The staff were amazing and it felt like a home away from home the room was very good with great views over the lake

It’s small but a coffee machine in the room would of been a nice touch

Great location, very quiet surroundings, only 9 rooms or so and all service felt extremely personal and welcoming. You need a car to get here about 30 mins from Como town, and they have a private garage 2 min from the property. Beautiful views from the pool deck and restaurant overlooking the lake for every meal. They also have their own gorgeous garden where they grow produce for the restaurant where you can walk around. Perfect for a 3 day stay with short drive to main ports in menaggio to get to belaggio and varenna for a day trip. You can also rent a Como boat with a private driver picking you up right by the hotel and taking a tour around the lake and dropping you off anywhere. This was the highlight of our stay and totally worth it for a once in a lifetime experience.

We had some bugs in our room but probably came in from the balcony so not really a complaint

Everything, it’s absolutely beautiful.

Nothing.

Tout. L’emplacement. La vue exceptionnelle sur le lac. Les équipements (même si la piscine est un petite) les installations. La cuisine avec les légumes et les fruits du jardin. Et surtout la qualité de l’accueil et le service: Richard évidemment mais pas seulement. Tout le personnel est très gentil. Aucune pollution sonore car la route passe beaucoup plus bas.

La vue, la tranquillité , le personnel

L’accès

Glorious location. Beautifully designed and maintained

Kleinschalig complex , leuke villa met klein maar mooi zwembad en vooral prachtig uitzicht. Ontbijt is prima geregeld en ook 'avonds kun je er prima eten. Richard en zijn team hebben het prima voor elkaar en doen er alles aan om het je naar wens te maken.

Het dorpje Colonno stelt verder niet veel voor , dus 'avonds nog even rond lopen is er niet bij, dan moet je echt naar Menaggio bijvoorbeeld wat al snel weer 20 min met de auto is.

Por destacar algo, la amabilidad del personal.

Está alejado de casi todo, hay que recurrir al coche o autobús para todo. El restaurante está bien, si comes carne a rabiar, en nuestro caso muy pocas opciones. Habíamos elegido este hotel por las vistas que supuestamente tiene del Lago. No existen!! Porque además buscábamos tranquilidad, por lo que decidimos que fueran hoteles sin niños. Había familias enteras.

Kiváló elhelyezkedés, mindenhez közel! Fantasztikus személyzet, mint egy család, s kiváló ételek. Nagyon kényelmes ágy.

Kissé kicsi szobáz

Tous les détails sont travaillés au niveau des équipements pour un rendu unique ,un personnel attentionné et souriant, de la très bonne cuisine

Het personeel en de ontvangst

Schone mooie ksmers

The start and the service were amazing

Fantastische locatie- heerlijk diner- mooie kamer- super service

-

Villa Clementina is perfectly situated, with beautiful views and a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. The staff were exceptional throughout our stay, and Richard in particular went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, accommodate our requests, and ensure everything was seamless. His warmth and attention to detail made our stay genuinely memorable.

Very little to fault. The only suggestion would be to offer all-day room service, as there were times between meal services when we would have loved the option.

Incredible staff & service.

Accueil chaleureux Bel Emplacement au calme surélevé par rapport au lac Vue magnifique

Aucun point négatif

A very nice boutique hotel with an excellent team and host. All of them were very nice and helpful and went the extra mile for us. The garden is amazing, so is the view and the food in the restaurant.

Formidable séjour! Accueil chaleureux. Tout le personnel est aux petits soins. La vue, le calme, l'ambiance de l'hôtel est vraiment appréciable. Tout est très propre et bien entretenu.

Le seul point peut-être à revoir c’est le restaurant. Même si c’est très bon et que c’est une cuisine locale, le tarif est élevé pour une cuisine familiale.

The staff at Villa Clementina went above and beyond in every way. From coordinating all of our drivers and transfers to preparing a personal breakfast bag for our early morning departure, the hospitality was truly world class. The dinner was exceptional — the soup of the day was made with fresh vegetables straight from their garden, and the breakfast each morning was delicious. The views are absolutely breathtaking and the location is stunning.

Honestly the only thing we wished was different was that we had booked more nights! We did not get the chance to enjoy the pool or the hot tub, and we will absolutely be coming back just for that. There is truly nothing negative to say about this property.

Super service, hyggelig personal og utrolig god mat. Rommet var rent og med helt nydelig utsikt

Sehr gute Wegbeschreibung zur Villa.

Ich habe nach einem Wein im Zimmer nachgefragt, dieser wurde leider nicht geliefert.

Un accueil exceptionnel, l ensemble du personnel très attentionné. Un hôtel plein de charme idéal pour se ressourcer, une vue magnifique sur le lac et des prestations au top . Un sens du détail en terme de décoration très apprécié. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir

Everything was 10/10. Cannot complain about anything! The views were out of this world! The food was unbelievable! All the staff were so attentive and brilliant, they made continuous effort to brighten your day up. Anna, Colin and Richard were lovely and made the stay even more special. Whenever we return to Lake Como we will be coming back to Villa Clementina!

Nothing everything was excellent.

Lieu idyllique avec une vu magnifique sur le lac, des chambres ultra-confortables, un petit déjeuner et un dîner délicieux (préparé par le chef Pablo) et un personnel souriant et aux petits soin.

Rien, tout était parfait.

كل شي جميل وانيق

لا شي

At this location you do require a car but the staff was outstanding and provided lots of information of things to do.

Le cadre d'ensemble, idyllique (vue, piscine, jardin... d'Eden). La quiétude de l'établissement (chambre très bien insonorisée). L'emplacement stratégique (au pied de la Greenway !, proche des sites d'intérêts, des ferries). Le personnel, discret, serviable et sympathique.

Le restaurant doit monter en gamme afin de justifier ses prix : recettes plus travaillées / plus riches en ingrédients nobles (ex. : moins de salade, plus de mozzarella / tomates / pignons !), option poisson, chaleur des plats.

Butikowy, kameralny, rodzinna atmosfera, perfekcja w każdym calu. Przyjechaliśmy spędzić urodziny z partnerem i synem, jesteśmy zachwyceni. Polecam z całego serca. Piękny design, bardzo dobre jedzenie, bardzo dobre wina, wszyscy dbają o każdy, nawet najmniejszy detal. Recepcja bardzo pomocna. Jest podziemny Parking. Przemiły personel, który do nas dzwonił i czekał, żeby zabrać nasze bagaże i zawieźć melexem pod samą recepcję. Bardzo polecam ❤️

La sympathie du personnel, Le petit-déjeuner personnalisé Les petites attentions en Français à notre égard.

Plus de spécialités italiennes et plats servis plus chaud au restaurant.

Questa è la mia seconda recensione per questo incantevole boutique hotel sul Lago di Como e, se possibile, l'esperienza è stata ancora migliore della prima! Ricordavo con piacere il mio soggiorno di due anni fa, poco dopo l'apertura: accoglienza impeccabile, staff meraviglioso, pulizia assoluta e una cucina deliziosa. Sono tornato con aspettative alte e sono rimasto positivamente sorpreso. La vera novità è il meraviglioso parco che è stato aggiunto: un'oasi di tranquillità con una vista mozzafiato sul lago. Ho apprezzato moltissimo il sentiero vista lago che attraversa gli orti coltivati direttamente dall'hotel. Lungo il percorso, è un piacere trovare attrezzi fitness, tutti strategicamente posizionati per un allenamento con panorama da cartolina! La cucina del ristorante si conferma eccellente. Il focus sul "km zero" è una scelta vincente, con verdure e aromi raccolti quotidianamente dall'orto di proprietà. Lo chef è incredibile e riesce a trasformare queste materie prime in piatti deliziosi. Ho molto apprezzato il concetto di cucina express sia per la cena che per la colazione, che è ricca, varia e offre proposte à la carte eccezionali. Una menzione speciale va a Manuela e alle sue torte fatte in casa: vederla impastare in tarda mattinata con tanta passione è un piccolo dettaglio che fa sentire "a casa". Tutto lo staff è straordinario: sempre disponibile, gentile e attento. Consiglio vivamente questo gioiello del Lago di Como. Non solo mantengono l'alto livello iniziale, ma continuano a investire per migliorare l'offerta. Ci tornerò sicuramente per la terza volta!

Staff were excellent. Accommodation Great. Food Amazing.

Nothing.

Petit hôtel parfaitement situé, au calme, avec vue sur le lac de Côme et à 15 minutes en voiture de la célèbre villa del Balbianello. Le petit déjeuner est tout simplement délicieux et les repas que nous avons pris au restaurant ont été de grande qualité. La chambre était propre, la literie confortable et le linge de toilette impeccable. Mais surtout l’ensemble du personnel est d’une grande attention et gentillesse.

Rien. Tout était parfait.

This hotel completely surpassed our expectations. The view was incredible, the grounds immaculate and while I was expecting a very small-feeling room we were pleasantly surprised. Breakfast was delish and food was fab though I’d love to visit again earlier in the season, when more variety is available from the gardens. But what really made it was the staff: we have never felt more catered to. They never let you lift a finger, and clearly want to really help you have the best possible holiday. Richard is so kind and creates a really memorable experience. The area is also quieter than other parts of Como which was what we wanted, but we did enjoy being able to wander into the next towns for a change of scene. We are already thinking about when we might be able to get back!

To totally nitpick, a warmer pool would be nice but appreciate there are limitations due to its area and that it’s hotter when in prime season.

Can't say enough GREAT things about this charming boutique hotel in Lake Como! From the moment we arrived til the moment we left, we had all we needed for a wonderful stay. The grounds were well tended to & beautifully landscaped. The food @ the on-site restaurant was exceptional (kudos to the chef!) as well as the friendly & accommodating staff. While the room we stayed in was indeed compact, having the large outdoor terrace made up for the smaller square footage. Full disclosure: getting to the property was a little unorthodox, but ultimately not a problem. Our driver dropped us off @ a covered garage off the main street and we were transported via golf cart up the narrow path to the property. Once there, you feel as if you've stepped into a beautiful oasis, which was frankly really hard to leave. Additionally the hotel staff's communication prior to our visit was timely & clear and not only did they make transportation arrangements for us (to/from the train station) but they also secured a private boat ride for our party of 4 around the lake. Our only regret was not staying longer, but we hope to return to Villa Clementina at some point in the future. This property is truly a gem! You will not be disappointed!

La vue est exceptionnelle, le restaurant propose des menus variés avec des produits frais de leur jardin, le personnel est très agréable et plein de petites attentions

L’isolation phonique des chambres est à améliorer

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Villa Clementina. The place is beautiful and the rooms are immaculate, but what really makes the experience so amazing is the people who work there - everyone was so friendly, welcoming and professional. The food was also incredible. Highly recommended, and we hope to go back in the future!

The location is fantastic, with beautiful views over Lake Como. The walking path 'Greenway del Lago' runs past the hotel. The room was very attractive and well appointed. The whole property, with gardens, sundecks and pool, is very pleasant. We enjoyed our breakfast and dinners in the restaurant. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Access to the hotel from the road involves a lift and a shuttle. This works fine, but if it's important to you to be able to drive up to the door, bear this in mind. WiFi was very unreliable (we used data, which was ok)

Modern, classy with great views of Lake Como.

Nothing to criticize.

Everything was perfect. The personnel, the food, and especially the director, RICHARD, is one of the kind! We appreciated everything he had done for us. All the best all of them. We recommend it without any doubt.

Nothing everything was perfect

Tout, simplement grandiose !

Beautiful views, super friendly staff, fantastic food!

They couldn’t stop the rain ☔️ ;o)

Overall great experience. Very attentive staff and the food is absolutely delicious… you really won’t need to book any other dinner reservations while staying here. The menu changed daily and each day was so fresh. If you want to book any of the excursions through the hotel make sure you do that about a week before arriving and be very clear on exactly when and what you would like to do as we ended up missing out on those. If you want to be able to travel between different spots on the lake this is a great central location meaning you aren’t taking up too much time on ferries or in a car.

We loved the customer service, the quiet location and views, the comfortable bed, the food, the facilities, the large smart TV with streaming facilities, and the good clean housekeeping. Every team member played their part to make our stay special. The kitchen teams were fabulous both for breakfast and evening meals. The excellent food was all freshly prepared and cooked using many local ingredients. We loved the infinity pool and the hot tub and exploring the terraced gardens.

The two outside chairs on our balcony were very ‘designer’ but not very comfy.

It was definitely a boutique hotel and we loved everything about it. Everyone was very welcoming and accommodating! The food in their restaurant was world class!!

We had a fantastic stay at Villa Clementina Boutique Hotel and highly recommend it. The location is excellent, with stunning, picturesque views. The staff and owner were very friendly and welcoming, making us feel comfortable from the start. Breakfast exceeded our expectations, offering a delicious variety of dishes to choose from, not just the typical Italian pastry and coffee. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we would be happy to return.

Our family had an incredible stay at this property. The views and the property itself were breathtaking! The terraced vegetable garden was so beautiful to explore and we enjoyed the pool and the solarium with the hot tub very much. We felt very relaxed while on the Villa. Our room was comfortable and spacious for our family of three (two adults and one young adult). Richard was an incredible host. From the very beginning he made our stay comfortable. He was present to answer any questions and tell a good story. The staff were warm and attentive to any needs we had. Colonno is a quiet little town and the Villa is certainly a gem! We highly recommend this place and we would love to come back any day!

Absolutamente todo. Ubicación, instalaciones, servicio

We stayed at Villa Clementina for three nights and loved it there. The service was exceptional. Richard greeted us at the bus stop and took us through the private garage where a golf buggy was waiting to take us and our luggage on the short journey up the hill to the Villa. As we checked in Richard told us about the history of the area and Villa. He was very passionate and knowledgeable and it was a lovely way to start the stay. The room was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was clean, well maintained and had a powerful shower. The room had a balcony that overlooked Lake Como, which was nice to sit on at relax. The infinity pool area was quiet and relaxing, as was the hot tub and garden areas. All of which were overlooking the lake. The breakfast was amazing! The eggs and bacon were cooked to order and there was plenty of choice with cereals, pastries and fresh fruit platters. The homemade croissants were a particular favourite. The staff were very attentive and Richard would stop and have a chat in the morning and give us tips about the places we were visiting. On our departure day we were given a bottle of Lake Como olive oil, which was an unexpected but lovely touch. Richard’s wife even drove us to the train station in Como so that we wouldn’t have to wait for a bus. We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Clementina and would definitely stay there again.

breathtaking views, everything’s really smart and clean. restaurant was excellent. staff were lovely. if you like meat you have to try the Tzigoiner

Beautifully designed and thought through. A stunning boutique hotel with amazing views.

Very quaint, small, and peaceful hotel. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Ideal for a quiet retreat and to enjoy stunning lake views from the pool!

A quirky, luxury hotel that we will remember forever. Staying here feels like a little lakeside adventure with its hillside location. Richard, the hotel manager, is a joy! Full of stories and the warmest welcome. It's worth coming just to meet him. A small but perfectly formed pool, over looking the lake was a beautiful place to relax. We ate here for the two nights we stayed and had really wonderful meals. Staff were SOOoo friendly and helpful. We had a smaller room which was perfectly fine (very modern, every facility, and a nice view over the town rooves to the lake). Bigger options are available.

Accessibility... although staff do EVERYTHING possible to make this a minor issue.

The team were fantastic. They helped organise Vegan options for my daughter. Beautiful location. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a nice view from our room and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was ok with space for our toiletries. The pool is very nice and everyone in our group enjoyed the poolside menu. It does have parking and the phone number system to open the parking gate worked without any issues.

I didn't like the pillows at this hotel. It is mildly annoying getting from parking to the hotel. We had an upgraded room but there is a bathtub in front of the TV which made it impossible to connect my macbook to it.

We found that our room was comfortable and offered a great view of the lake. The highlights of our stay was the dining. Vicky & her team were outstanding — warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about their work. Unfortunately, our experience ended on a disappointing note. On our final morning, we had an early departure and had made arrangements the night before — with both the front desk and the restaurant — for a light breakfast or takeaway option (as most hotels typically offer) around 7:30 a.m. (breakfast officially begins at 8). We were assured this would not be a problem, and saw the evening staff write a note for the morning team. However, when we arrived the next morning, the gentleman opening the restaurant was extremely unprofessional. Despite the prior arrangements, he was clearly upset by our presence, yelling and cursing as he went about setting up. Not only were we denied the breakfast we had planned for, but we were also treated with complete disrespect. When we brought the incident to the manager, Richard, during checkout, his response was underwhelming: “I will talk to him and I apologize on his behalf.” No attempt was made to resolve the situation, offer us anything in the moment, or provide any compensation — and no follow-up came afterward. While the hotel has many positive aspects, the lack of professionalism & accountability in handling our departure left a lasting negative impression. Sadly, we would not return or recommend Hotel Hotel Clementina.

Really enjoyed our stay at Villa Clementina. Very restful and the meals and service were excellent. Definitely recommend!

We went for three nights for my niece’s wedding. We were treated by Richard who gave us the history on the property while we checked in. The property is beautiful with amazing views of the lake. We enjoyed dinner there the first night and it was spectacular. Breakfast each morning was equally delicious. You feel like you are at a bed and but with so much more. We look forward to returning and enjoying the property again.

From the moment we were picked up by Richard, we were blown away by the hospitality, and exceptional beauty of Villa Clementina. Richard and staff made us feel at home our entire stay. This has made it extremely easy to decide on where to stay when we return to Como. The Room, the views of the lake, the breakfast buffet and restaurant, property beauty and cleanliness were unmatched . We only wish we stayed additional days to enjoy the work out area and explore the gardens. Thanks Villa Clementina!

Just an amazing stay in a wonderful part of the world. From check-in to check out, my family and I not only were able to enjoy the Lake Como area, we enjoyed everything that Villa Clementina had to offer. The hotel is situated with a stunning view of the Lago. The staff provided via email easy to follow instructions on how to get to the main entrance. When we checked in, Lorenzo greeted us warmly. He met us to help us with our luggage (a cute golf cart) as it was a walk up hill a bit to get to the front desk. What we noticed on the way up to the hotel was the amazing view of the lake and surrounding area. aah Italy !! Before our dinner at the hotel, Richard, the very knowledgeable, warm, and accommodating director/manger greeted us and offered a very detailed and needed overview of the hotel and of Lake Como are in general. The hotel has a wonderful restaurant for dinner, snacks at lunch and breakfast. I definitely recommend having dinner at the hotel. The infinity pool overlooking the lake is so relaxing. The atmosphere/vibe there gives you really no choice but to feel relaxed and welcome. We loved coming back to the restaurant for dessert, espresso, and an after dinner drink. Our room was also very comfortable, good AC, as you know Americans need and crave good air conditioning. (Sorry not sorry) The staff was also so helpful with how to enjoy Lake Como area. Needless to say, we really hope to return.

Great find. Excellent managemrent, well renovated facility

Stunning location and amazing food and service

Nothing to not like

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

Everything about this beautiful hotel is luxury

What an amazing experience. This small hotel is packed with charm. The pool is wonderful with breathtaking views. We met Richard as soon as we arrived and immediately felt welcome and at home. What a great human being. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. We dined in the hotel both evening nbd and the food was some of the best during our two week trip. This stay was unplanned but being here the last two days of our Italian vacation made it end on an extremely high note. Thanks to all the folks here who made our trip special.

Our stay at Villa Clementina was an exceptional experience. Richard greeted us at the garage as we arrived and everyone we met during our stay went above and beyond, nothing was too much bother for them. The suite we stayed in was immaculate and the breath taking views of Lake Como were simply stunning. Our breakfast was absolutely delightful and our evening meals delicious. The chef came out to me to discuss my needs as a vegetarian and this is something I’ve never experienced and was so grateful and very impressed with. Anyone visiting here is guaranteed an amazing experience. Thank you for your hospitality.

This was by far one of if not the best experiences we have had staying at a hotel. The staff was amazing and took care of everything we needed and then some. They consistently went out of their way to provide a personalized luxurious experience. The rooms, food, location, and views were all superb! We will definitely be coming back.

Nice location about 10 mins outside Tremezzo. I would recommend having a car, they do have parking. Room was very nice, clean and updated. Customer service was outstanding. Restaurant was good though they offer a smaller menu for lunch and dinner. Breakfast was great with many options including eggs/omelettes. You can lsy at the pool while taking in wonderful views of Lake Como. Would definitely stay here again.
