Hotel Vapore

We only went to the restaurant hotel. The spot is very romantic with a magnificent view. We had one dish with fish and one dish spaghetti, both were very well presented and delicious. Salad was big and interesting, dessert was descent. Service was good, I think the waiter was rather disappointed we didn't want wine... and he was not happy serving us :(

We loved our stay at Hotel Vapore — it’s one of those places where you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The staff are outstanding: Manager/Sommelier Osman makes dinner memorable, and host Maria runs everything with warmth and care, and servers like Murat and the whole team treat you like family. The location is perfect — right in front of the port, so catching the aqua taxi is easy. Note: it’s not directly accessible by car; you park above and walk down some steps, but if you’re visiting the Lake Como area, expect a few steps everywhere — it’s part of the charm! The hotel even has a vehicle that runs up and down to help with your luggage, which makes things so much easier, especially with kids. They were super friendly and accommodating with my daughter — that personal touch makes all the difference. Even though many famous people have stayed here, they make every guest feel like a VIP. The restaurant is cozy, with a well-chosen small menu and an unbeatable view — a perfect spot to unwind after a day on the lake. Warm, family-friendly, perfectly located — highly recommended, and we’d stay here again without a doubt!

^^update^^ After having a phone call and 2 texts from the owner since we have returned to the UK trying to get me to remove my review comments Iv now given it 1star not 2 !!! Called me a liar and apparently I was sitting in doors on the best table ? Pics tell another story Review - Our visit to the restaurant (not hotel) was quite an experience. Thunderstorms and heavy rain was forecast for the evening and all night so were a bit surprised when we were seated right next to the waters edge and not under a canopy as the clouds were already on us . Waited 10 mins for a menu although only a handful of people were there being seated (also on the outer edge) . Was finally asked if we wanted an aperitif and given the menus . The prices for food are very reasonable and range from €18-€30 which we thought was very good for the quality of food . However after asking for the wine list after ordering the food (wasn’t shown one before ) we were presented with an iPad that had about 15 red wines on it that ranged from €50 - €360 !! Wasn’t expecting to spend such an amount on a drink when the food wasn’t in that price bracket and neither did the hotel look it (3 stars) After basically telling him we didnt want any wine his whole attitude to us seemed to change and rest of the evening felt awkward. The actual young waiter who did serve us food etc and clear the tables was fantastic however . Chaos came when the heavens opened up and Everyone (about 6 tables in all) suddenly needed to be moved under shelter . Headless chickens came to mind as the “big chiefs” moved plates , cutlery etc around onto tables they had for some reason only 10 minutes before cleared off . Anyway to sum it up , very good food for price but expect to be ignored and treated differently by some staff if you are not spending €100 on a bottle of wine .

We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights this past week and we loved our stay. The views are fantastic from our room. Italian atmosphere and very friendly service and all the staff were great. We arrived there without reservations and were lucky they have availability. Maria and the other lady at the front desk are very nice and helpful. You can’t get to the hotel by car but if you find parking by the municipal office is not hard to get to and staff is very helpful to help you with your luggage anyway. They also offer parking in an offsite location and they will help you get to the parking and with your luggage. Location is right by Torno’s ferry stop so you can visit Como and all the other cities around the lake easily. Breakfast is great and the restaurant is good. The rooms are simple but good, we would love to go back anytime.

We came her as the driver told us its a hidden gem . The view was phenomenal and we chose to eat lunch at this hotel and it was a great pick ! Great service we feel very welcomed and warm ! Delicious dishes i recommend to eat anything with fish

Don't stay in Como, stay here. The food, the service, the ambience. Cannot fault anything. Additionally the ferry is every 30 mins so you can easily explore the surrounding towns and villages. Will 100% come again

Highly recommend this hotel. Fabulous and the staff were amazing. Great food, just great all round!

I spent here a Saturday evening for dinner with my partner. I strongly recommend you to book a place on the waterfront terrace at Hotel Vapore, go there early, enjoy the sunset and the incredible atmosphere
