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...

Extremely friendly host. Excellent restaurant, food was delicious.

Nothing

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!

staff is excellent

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 ;-)
