Hotel Villa Cipressi, by R Collection Hotels

Everything, it was stunning, great location and amazing stuff

What a beautiful property on Lake Como! The room was very comfortable and the staff at the hotel was awesome! They picked us up at the Train Station parking and helped with all our luggage. The botanical gardens were lovely to stroll through before dinner. We had a nice light dinner meal and cocktails with a view of the lake. The breakfast was included in our visit and it was amazing!

The entrance to town is one way and the parking can be difficult if you are in a large vehicle (we had a van). However, they will pick you up in a golf cart from the public parking and take you to the hotel, so you don't have to roll all your luggage through town.

The property is STUNNING! The view out of our window was breathtaking, we loved waking up to it every morning. We also got access to the gardens when no one else did which was incredibly peaceful. The staff is incredibly helpful, giving us lots of recommendations. The breakfast was DELICIOUS with so many options, and walking to it felt like a journey back in time. There was a wedding every night we were there, but they always had a live violinist so we left our windows open and it added so much joy and serenity to the stay. Me and my husband danced to the music in our room! So nice!

It would have been nice to have known I didn’t need to buy a ticket for the gardens since I already had due to Google saying I needed to, but that isn’t their fault!!

The location and the gardens.

Given the cost per night, rooms are quite small and the overall facilities could do with a refurb. We didn’t feel the stay matched the cost. There is zero atmosphere throughout the hotel. We were told it was fully booked but the bar and restaurant area were empty in the evenings.
