Relais Villa Vittoria - Antica Dimora - Lake Como

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting our wedding at Villa Vittoria. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations — from the beautiful rooms, to the warm hospitality, and the exceptional service. A special thank you goes to Laura, our phenomenal wedding coordinator! Planning a destination wedding from the USA could have been overwhelming, but Laura made the entire process stress-free. The wedding dinner was absolutely delicious, authentic, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. And the Pizza Party the night before was such a hit with all our guests! We will absolutely be coming back to Villa Vittoria — not just because it holds such a special place in our hearts, but because it’s simply an exceptional place to stay! We recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a romantic getaway, a beautiful vacation, or a truly magical wedding venue. Grazie Villa Vittoria & Laura! 💕

We just had our wedding at Relais Villa Vittoria and it was the best decision we could have made! Our wedding was only 20 people and it was the perfect intimate space for that amount. The service, the people, the food, and the VIEWS were unreal. Even better than the photos!!! Highly recommend!

Before I begin, I want to be clear: I am not the type to leave negative reviews. In fact, I usually take the time only to share positive feedback and highlight what businesses are doing well. Unfortunately, in this case, I feel compelled to offer a constructive review, because our experience at Relais Villa Vittoria in Lake Como was deeply disappointing—and not at all what we expected from a property rated as a four-star hotel.||We arrived before check-in, which we knew was early, but we were told we’d be notified as soon as our room was ready. We decided to wait by the pool with our two children. Unfortunately, the pool area would not serve any lunch or snacks, even though snacks were listed on the menu—they apparently aren’t available until after 6 PM. Our kids were already in their bathing suits, so we couldn’t just head upstairs for lunch due to them being wet and in bathing suits. Eventually, we were told the upstairs restaurant would be closing early due to a wedding, so we rushed up in hopes of grabbing something before it shut down. Only at that point were we told, almost as an afterthought, that our room was ready.||The front desk staff, particularly one woman, was neither helpful nor welcoming. It quickly became apparent that this is not a family-friendly hotel. While the property might market itself as luxurious, it seemed clear that guests with children were not exactly embraced.||When we got to our room, we found multiple issues. There was broken glass on the floor, a damaged TV stand in the second bedroom, a broken mirror stand, and a telescope that couldn’t be used because its brackets were broken. The air conditioning didn’t work despite our repeated requests to have it checked. We were told it was working—but it clearly wasn’t. Thankfully, we were able to sleep with the windows open due to cooler weather at night. The beds were also quite uncomfortable.||The bathroom situation was another disappointment. The “shower” is actually a bathtub with a narrow, glass cylinder partition—making it virtually unusable. My husband, who is 6’4”, couldn’t even fit. On top of that, only one of the showerheads worked; the rest were broken.||But perhaps the most frustrating part of our stay was the hotel’s wedding schedule. What we didn’t realize—and what’s not made very clear upfront—is that Relais Villa Vittoria functions more like a wedding venue with hotel rooms than the other way around. There was a wedding every single night during our stay- let’s call it a wedding carousel. Each one took over the entire property, spanning all three levels, and effectively blocked guests from using the grounds. We were essentially confined to our rooms each evening due to the noise, crowds, and exclusivity of the events. And given the hotel’s fairly remote location, there’s nowhere else convenient to go in the evenings.||On a more positive note, the servers and hotel staff (outside of the front desk) were very kind, and the food was okay—not amazing, but decent.||All in all, we were genuinely excited about staying at this hotel, and we really wanted to love it. But the reality didn’t come close to our expectations. We couldn’t wait to leave and, sadly, we will not be returning.

The owner Daniella is such a sweetie! The staff were super cool. It was pissing down rain the entire time we were there and it was still magnificent. Because of the rain we decided on a spa stay and got massages and went in the Turkish bath. Perfect for a rainy day and helped to recharge. Great stay! Would stay here again!

Our daughter and son-in-law chose Relais Villa Vittoria for their wedding, to accommodate family and friends from multiple continents! We had the entire villa to ourselves for the weekend! My daughter could not have picked a more perfect setting for an intimate wedding to celebrate with family and friends! The views were amazing, the rooms comfortable, the hosts and staff were friendly and accommodating and the food and wine was excellent!

You can’t beat the view at this hotel so wonderful. The staff is amazing especially Claudio he could not do enough to make sure our stay was unforgettable. The food especially for lunch and dinner was amazing. I hope to be back one day.

The staff at this hotel were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms were immaculate and very comfortable. We also enjoyed the delicious breakfast each morning and loved the convenient location perfect for relaxation

Stay away from this place! Trust me, you deserve much better than this. The place is terrible, no parking at all. The staff at the reception are arrogant and completely unhelpful. By pure chance I met the owner, who went completely crazy and honked his horn at me non-stop, while I was just trying to find the entrance to this dump.

Heading to Lake Como and looking for a quiet and charming hotel that's away from the heavy tourist spots? You may want to consider Relais Villa Vittoria. Researching the area, I came across this hotel on Mr & Mrs Smith, which specializes in boutique hotels. Villa Vittoria is located in Laglio, which is a super tiny town on the lake. In fact, this town is now best known thanks to George Clooney. He lives there. This is more of a destination hotel in that it is not in a busy town with eateries and shops. Laglio is so small there is basically just a church. Seriously! Keep this in mind if you are someone that prefers to be able to walk to restaurants and shops from your hotel. From here you either have to catch the commuter ferry, taxi boat or drive. The villa has an interesting history, like most places in the Como area. Its garden was used for the raising silkworms to produce silk, which is one of the most important things to know about Lake Como! There are twelve rooms- some offer lake views. The rooms are small but decently appointed. Complimentary wifi, air conditioning, lock boxes, spacious bathrooms with nice amenities. Breakfast is included in your stay and it's a traditional Italian spread with fresh fruit, bread, sweets, cereals, yogurt and of course cold cuts and cheeses. The hotel also has an infinity pool with a lovely lake view. The hotel staff is helpful in arranging for pretty much any activity you can think of on the lake. Relais Vittoria is intimate and relaxing.

The most romantic and picturesque setting for my son and daughter-in-law's beautiful wedding. The staff is extremely kind and willing to help you with any requests. They made the whole experience so memorable and personal. On top of that, I accidentally left some heirloom jewelry in my room. They were kind enough to locate it and have it shipped immediately to the U.S. I will be forever grateful.
