Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como

Beautiful hotel from top to bottom. I love hotels that have a the classic and refined look and feel but with a modern touch. This hotel was furnished excellently while still holding high the story and legacy of the villa. Food at all 3 restaurants we're some of the best i've had. I'd go back just to eat there again. The rooms we're scattered across the hotel but not in a bad way, feels like home, walking on the grass and admiring the views while walking to what feels like your villa. Service was incredible. It's everything you expect a mandarin to be like.

If you sleep late or enjoy the hours after midnight, I would reconsider this hotel. There is absolutely nothing going on and the big surprise is that there is no room service after midnight, they don't even have fries after 11pm. They offer a ham and cheese sandwich, that's all. If you are hungry after hours - starve. This is not very mandarin for me. I have stayed in many around the world and this after-hours room service test has always passed but at Lake Como it failed miserably. We also visited all of the beautiful villas around the Lake. After seeing those i felt that the hotel was a very small in comparison to the others. Most of the famous hotel Villas in lake como are huge, 10 times the size of mandarin with the most majestic gardens. I feel like Mandarin tried to make things look that way but it was no comparison.

The breakfast options were limited, however the quality of the food was excellent

Everything was great

Everything

There is problem to get taxi or transfer, always.
