The Building and the location is very nice with a beautiful view on the hill looking to Como, however the old house walls are very thin made of wood and there are no noise insulation in between the rooms
Locanda Milano 1873 is the perfect accomodation for those who love hiking, trekking and cycling. The hotel is located in Brunate, on a hilltop position 5 km or 6 minutes by the funicolar from Como.

New ownership and we experienced a warm, welcoming and service-minded staff.
When we checked out we got a bottle of Prosecco from the owner. The owner is very positive and friendly. We felt very valued and taken care of.

Our room was clean and it had new bathroom that was just renovated. It is great value for the price we paid as other options in the area were a lot more expensive.

Brunate is a great way to stay above Como and more suitable for families or couples that seek peace and tranquility.
There is a cafe surving drinks and snacks with a FAB view point
Walk to the lighthouse
FAB views of Lake Como!
Funicolcare is great fun
I went on the ferry to Villa Carlotta I left Brunate at 8.30am and took the Ferry at 10am.
It is 2 hours to Villa Caroltta on the lake but it is FAB with beautiful views.
There are various stops along the lake, Double check your return journey as I missed the boat back, There is a bus it takes about 45 minutes and get a ticket from the newsagent down the road for 5 euros, There is a stop by the ferry stop and one outside the newsagent.
With your back to the ferry stop you will see the Como bus Fermata across the road. And turn left from the ferry stop for the newsagent there are shops/cafe here too.
There are FAB resturants in Como. My husband enjoyed the one on the sea front near the ferry stop it served delicious sea food!

A small town overlooking Como's surroundings.
A small town overlooking Como's surroundings. A place to stay to enjoy the coolness of altitude during summer ! The quietness and seclusion, while never being far away from means of transportation (FUNICOLARE) and shops.

Nothing of interest here really.
Nothing of interest here really. Maybe the Volta lighthouse ? (Closed by the time we arrived, so couldn't really tell). Nice view over the lake (Villa d'Este a.o.) from up there. If you do want to come to Brunate, I strongly suggest you take the Funicular from Como for a short round trip. Coming here with a larger car is a bit of a nightmare, and spending the night here was a mistake, wish we'd stayed in Como.
Are you looking for the authentic Italy then you’ve come to the right place…
A hidden gem in every way - absolutely indescribably beautiful place - EVERYTHING is authentic - the rooms - the food - the staff - absolutely nothing to say negative about this place
The view is beyond words - this family owned hotel has given me a week of joy and happiness - I’ll definitely come back to this amazing place
This hotel was wonderful. It is located right next to the funicular for easy access into Como. It hotel itself and its rooms were beautifully restored and the view was incredible. The restaurant was very good and breakfast each morning was a great addition. The staff was very nice and gave great recommendations for other restaurants to try in town. We hope to visit again!
The place is amazing. Up in the hills of Brunate you can leave your car and do everything using the feniculare at a walking distance. The place is quiet and the owner is really helpful. She shared tips about the region and served delicious breakfast (thank you for the clafouti). We will come back. Enjoy a visit of the well maintained gardens. Thank you for everything!
The place is just magic! A gem amongst the hills of lake como! Far enough from the heat of the city yet close enough to not waste time going there.
The staff is super sweet and always ultra caring.
The rooms, the house and the garden (a true wonder) as well as the pool (quiet spot) everything was perfect.
Also the breakfast is great!
Easy and flexible access. Owner was helpful and available. Apartment was close to everything we needed in a quiet street. Nice view from balcony to the east. Adequately equipped for few day stays. We liked Brunate better than Como city. Nice surroundings and good starting point for hiking.
One of the most beautiful places we’ve stayed. The hotel was lovely and the view was stunning. The food was delicious and local. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. I will be recommending this place to my family and friends. Thank you for making our holiday in Italy so memorable.
the owner is very kind, polite and ready to assist in any issue. the position was excellent, in a few steps you can find naturalistic roads with wonderful sightseeings, or you can reach the funiculaire and reach the center of Como in few minutes. The room was comfortable and very silent.
The best part of the stay was without a doubt the view, the hotel is located on top of a hill higher than clouds but the road up there from Como is half an hour of crazy turns where only one car can pass, so book only if you are up to that drive. The staff were quite nice.
The location is fantastic, with an exceptional view over Lake Como. The host was very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious, with a great variety of choice! We loved our short stay at B&B ll Balcone sul Lago.
Perfect location for a visit to Como. Close enough with beautiful views from the hillside. The apartment was spacious and clean. The hostess communicated well and made sure that all questions were addressed.
The location is great. Its just a short walk from the town of Brunate and a short walk up to the view point that overlooks lake como. Its very quit at night, and Paula makes a great breakfast.
Nice hotel on the top of Brunate, with a lovely view and very close to the foniculare. Also great to have parking places for the costumers, otherwise I don't imagine where to leave the car...
Very nice view, lake Como is below and you can see Alps up to Monte Rosa! The restaurant is right below, where we had lunch. Brunato and the funicular is 10 minutes walk.
This is a special place, with amazing views over Lake Como. Relaxing, stunning. Good food. Friendly service. Clean bathrooms. Rooms open onto sunny terrace. 🌞
