Filario Hotel & Residences

From the moment we set foot in the Filario we knew it was special. We were met by a very welcoming staff with Camilla at the desk. The view of Lake Como is lovely and this gem built into the hill above the water in lovely Lezzeno is breathtaking. We were escorted to our spacious 3 ½ bedroom, 3 ½ bathroom residence complete with a living room, dining room, kitchen and spacious patio with a table, couch and lounges overlooking the water. The primary bedroom has a living area and a second floor balcony with 2 sets of lake view glass doors. ||We had made reservations at their lakeside restaurant Yeast and lucked into their Thursday night barbecue in addition to their delicious pizza and salad options with a live jazz ensemble playing as the water lapped onto the shore. The staff at Yeast (and in the breakfast room) is friendly and hard-working. Our trip could not have been off to a better start. ||At first we were concerned not to be in the center of things in Bellagio or Menaggio, but were delighted at our choice. Lezzeno is a charming small hamlet with easy access to the ferry (a 7-minute walk from the Filario) and then close enough to arrange a car or take a bus to/from Bellagio or even Como when the ferries are too crowded or stop running early in the evening. It has many surprises in a secret walkway just above the road, other good restaurants, and a lakeside promenade. ||The Filario’s concierges, Camilla, Ria, Silvia and Emma, to name just few, were attentive to our every request. ||All of the food on the property was fabulous. Our afternoons back from sightseeing were tremendous, sitting in our cabanas and swimming or kayaking on the lake and being able to enjoy the Yeast menu and drinks, or jumping into the infinity pool just above the beach for an equally gorgeous view.||I highly recommend The Filario, another gem on Lake Como.

Our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 college students) stayed here in July and it exceeded our expectations! The apartment was perfect for us to all stay together. The staff was exceptional. I don't want to call out any one particular person because truly, they were all so very helpful and pleasant. They helped us book car transportation, a private boat tour, and meal reservations. The pizza here at the hotel restaurant is some of the best we had in Italy. And the location is perfect. The hotel and town of Lezzeno is quiet and just a short easy bus ferry or bus ride to Bellagio. (We recommend learning to use the bus as it stops right in front of the hotel.) We're so happy and so thankful we stayed at the Filario Hotel!

The minute we walked in to Filario, we knew our stay would be amazing. The hotel is very clean, concierge service is terrific and the amenities surpassed our needs. The lakefront views of Lake Como directly from your room are unmatched. Definitely would return to this property.

Amazing stay at Filario Hotel! The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, comfy, and beautifully decorated. The view from the balcony was stunning. Loved the honey with the tea. No in-room coffee, but the cappuccinos at the lounge were amazing. Only thing missing: access to the pool with modest swimwear. Otherwise, perfect!

This is a great hotel and you can book a room in the residence which is treated like a hotel room, just no room service, but all other services are provided. They have a private beach with various water activities (paddle board, kayak, floats) as well as a beach bar and restaurant and the hotel as another more formal restaurant. Staff are amazing and will help you book reservations - everything can mostly be done over Whatsapp. There is parking at 20 euros per night. The town center is also not far with restaurants and grocery stores. Highly recommend staying here.

This was by far our favorite stays when we were in Italy. We have never been to Lake Como and it was amazing to stay here. The front desk welcomed us and shared a little but about the property, the views from the check in were incredible. We then checked into our room and had a beautiful suite right on the lake. The restaurant was amazing with delicious food and top notch service. The front desk was always accessible in helping for any of our needs. We rented a boat and just relaxed on Lake Como with the beautiful sights. We were sad to go and vowed to come back soon. We found out we had left something in our room and the manager was extremely helpful with the return of the items. He went above and beyond and we are grateful. Please give them a chance to show you Lake Como as they did for us, you will not regret it. Ciao, The Giliams

We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel. The rooms and restaurant on the lake were stunning. The staff was so kind and helpful with guiding us around the lake and recommending restaurants/activities to do. It is away from the busier towns so we utilized the bus and ferry to get around but these were short walks away. We enjoyed it being in a quieter area overall. The weather was a bit cooler while we were there but the pool would be amazing on a warm summer day. Definitely recommend this place!

We stayed at one of the apartments; a nice and spacious apartment with stunning views of the lake. Overall, the hotel is located at a good spot with relatively easy access to ferry, boat rentals, good restaurants, and short drive to Bellagio or Nesso. The rooms are clean and overall in good condition. The only problem with this hotel is its service. For example, there is no pool service and you would have to walk down the stairs to place your order with the kiosk by the beach. They also mixed up orders and the service was often slow. The breakfast buffet was just average. At this price point, you’d expect a lot more in terms of service.
