Hotels on Lake Como

Hotel Aurora, Lezzeno

This attractive family-run B&B-style hotel near Bellagio on the shores of Lake Como has been run by the welcoming Gregorio family since 1960. It has a great location about 6km from Bellagio, just opposite the Comacina Island and the Balbianello Peninsula. The elegant city of Como is just a short distance along the coast and this hotel would make a lovely base from which to explore one of Italy's largest and most beautiful lakes.

The Hotel Aurora, Lezzeno has been recently refurbished and has 12 nicely lit, en-suite rooms, all equipped with direct-dial telephone, ceiling fans and views either of the lake or of the mountains. There are also two spacious apartments nearby for guests who want to be independent. A full buffet breakfast is served each morning in the hotel dining room which overlooks the lake. The dinner menu includes typical local specialities with delicious fresh fish caught directly from the lake, home-made pasta and a wide range of pizzas made in the traditional wood-fired oven. In addition, there is an extensive menu of fine Italian and European wines.

There is a large, private sun deck directly on the lake, furnished with beach beds, umbrellas, showers and a private landing stage for motorboats, which guests are welcome to use. Several sporting activities are available to guests, including waterskiing (slalom, barefoot and ski-board) kayaking and mountain bikes. Upon request, tennis courts and motorboats can be made available. The hotel has a friendly, approachable 24-hour service on the front desk and facilities for business travellers include internet access and a quiet meeting room with photocopying facilities.
