"Contemporary, minimalist boutique hotels are a rarity on the shores of Lake Como, but Casa sull’Albero is exactly that: clean-lined where the competition is ornate, low-key where the old guard is formal. And while it might not be quite as extravagant an experience as the traditional Lake Como grand hotel, it’s perfectly comfortable, even quietly luxurious, and the textures of natural wood are everywhere — the name means “treehouse,” after all. There’s a small pool and spa, a self-serve “honesty kitchen,” and a daily breakfast service — with just 13 rooms there’s little space for much more." - Tablet Hotels
