Cascina Respaù

The best food I had in Italy! Amazing little hike with some great views. Was terrible trying to get the luggage down the massive hill early in the morning but no other complaints

We stayed here whilst backpacking and I can’t begin to reinforce how much I loved staying here! The atmosphere was magical with beautiful food at decent prices prepared each night in the central square of the building. We stayed in a female only dormitory and couldn’t be faulted, the rooms were basic but you get what you paid for to a great standard. The female only toilets was also reassuring and spotlessly clean. I would recommend organising with the owners as to a pick up from the local bus stop to prevent a tough walk to the top of the hill, where it is located within the woods. A must stay if a little peace and tranquility is needed.

The best Hostel I have ever been in. Friendly and welcoming staff. The dinner was awesome and the prices of the drinks were good. We met a lot of fun people during our stay at the hostel. And last but not least they have their own shuttle service up the hill to the hostel. So that is really nice. Long story short, it's amazing and beautiful.

Me and my boyfriend stayed here for 3 nights. The food was AMAZING! Best risotto I ever had. The atmosphere of the hostel is really nice, it is very easy to meet other travellers so perfect for peope who travel on their own. Everything was clean, staff was friendly.. nothing to complain. 100% recommended :)

Wonderful hostel with great staff and even better food. I stayed for two nights with friends in this charming place. The staff was really funny and helpful. The pasta served and everything all selfmade. Prices are really fair as well.|The hostel is not in the city itself, it is up the hill (which means you also got a magnificient view). You have to leave the car in a parking lot where they will pick you up.|I would recommend this to everyone who likes to stay in nature and is ok to not going back and forth from the hostel to the city several times a day.|

Amazing off-the-grid hostel in a protected area. The buildings are renovated and restored from previous design, everything is nice & cozy and the hosts are extremely friendly. Food is also delicious. Great place to have a hike around or set your hammock in the garden.

Everything about this place is super hip! The lovely landlord picks you up from the street in a small van and drives you up the hill through a lush green path. The dinner served is excellent in an outdoor setting tucked away from all city noises. This renovated building which has a rustic ambience is probably the best place you can stay in Como!

Get sure you have everything you need for the day when you leave the hostel! the climb up the hill is hard and annoying if you don't call the shuttle which is one euro per person (not when you arrive). The hostel is clean and there's lots of space in the room and in the courtyard. Staff is very friendly and drinks (coffee and craftbeer) are great. Did not try the food, but seems to be at a fair price and smelled great :-)
