La Foresta

A bit on the expensive side. Food wise a 7 out of 10. Fixed menu pasta was aight but small portioned while the dish with trout and pumpkin was phenomenal. The white wine I got was a solid 5. As for the service, they forgot about my water which was supposed to be included in the fixed menu. They also took away the table bread sans asking if I finished. Overall still not a bad experience, especially if you think you got money to spend lol

The perfect hotel to enjoy your stay on the island. Very clean and comfortable rooms, with renovated bathrooms, often with excellent views. Delicious restaurant with all the fish specialities you can expect. Possibility to enjoy the garden terrace or the private access to the lake for a swim. Electric bicycle available. Service is welcoming and friendly.

This is truly a wonderful find. The hotel and staff deserve a far better star rating. The position of the hotel is perfect, over looking the lake with views of the sun setting. The dining experience was exceptional with a varied menu and we were given excellent advise on wines for our meal. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable of the island. Can't fault our stay here and would definately return.

Great hotel located right on the shore. Rooms overlook the lake either directly ( for a higher price) or side view. A good breakfast was included but didn't have dinner as restaurant was closed the evening were staying. However there are a lot of nice restaurants nearby

Lovely family run hotel. The rooms are very clean and comfortable with great views of the lake. The restaurant, we had freshly caught lake fish, is superb and very reasonably priced.

I love this place. The rooms are simply furnished, but with a superb view and in a super quiet location: just the lake, the sky, the breeze, and the water birds. The restaurant is a very pleasant experience: excellent cuisine in a friendly atmosphere.

We both stayed & ate here, and had a fantastic time doing so 😊 🛏 Rooms: Very clean but basic - except you can't argue as the value for money is excellent! The bathroom was newly refurbished which is the most important facility in a room anyway. We had a balcony sat above the lake with the most beautiful view... You have to see it to believe it! 🍴 Restaurant: The food was really excellent and the service was exemplary. Fresh fish from the lake at a good price with another beautiful view and stunning wine choices from the resident sommelier 🤓. The surroundings are well kept and it's obvious the family put a lot of work into this place. .... Our only tiny tiny suggestion is perhaps to change up the tiramisu. Sure, it was home made, but so much cream and the biscuit base was hard and crunchy... Not to our taste. Sorry chef! 😢 🚲 In addition, we also hired the eBikes from the place at €25 each for half a day. I don't think I'll ever use a normal bike again - these things made cycling around the island a pleasure! If we ever revisit Monte Isola we would not hesitate to come and stay here again. Thank you to the owners for making our stay so wonderful - you're great at what you all do!

The location was great and view from the balcony out onto the lake was beautiful. The staff was very helpful in sorting out the ferry schedule for us to travel around the lake and printed out stuff for me on two occasions with no delay. The fish from the restaurant was cooked to perfection and when served almost all the bones were cleaned out. They also had an excellent selection of grappa to try after eating. The breakfast was limited to fruit, yoghurt, and bread. I don't like this but that may be the American in me complaining. The wifi was free but reception in my room was pretty poor.

We enjoyed a nice lunch here. They cook the local sardine every possible way imaginable. It was a good showcase for the local lake fish. The seafood pastas were good though nothing spectacular. Wine was very reasonably priced relative to value. Food was a little pricey but the quality justified it. They had one English speaker on staff to help translate. It was definitely full of primarily Italian speakers and there is no English menu.
