The location is fantastic - it's the perfect place to stay if you want to get out of busy Como and have a more quiet experience of the Lago di Como. You can walk around the old villas of Brunate, visit the panorama points or hike up the hill. The staff of Vista Lago were super kind. I was travelling alone and they made me feel very welcome! I asked if I could stay another night, and this was possible (in another room). My first room had a big terrace and a view of the church, and the second room had a balcony with view of the lake. Both were nice and comfy, and both views were lovely. The whole experience felt quite authentic, yet very safe and comfortable for (solo) tourists.
Featuring a traditional restaurant and a private garden with patio, Baita Carla lies in a peaceful location surrounded by the mountains. The area is ideal for hiking and cycling tours.

Based 500 m above lake Como and only 50 m to the upper station of the Funicolore this Hotel provides a breathtaking view. Driving up to Brunate on neat and sometime very narrow streets with close serpentines is a thrill itself. Better chose a small car. The Bellavista is a hotel worth to be pictured for postcards. The rooms with a little alpine style are lovely and also the breakfast was a splendid experience.
Ristorante Hotel Falchetto is in set at the top of the hill in Brunate, a 15-minute walk from the cable car to Como and the shores of Lake Como. It offers rooms with free Wi-Fi and views of the lake.

The view from the hotel is fantastic. Surrounded by greenery. Room is big. Friendly, helpful owner/family. Dinner is yummy!! Will come back again when I need a good rest.

New ownership and we experienced a warm, welcoming and service-minded staff.
When we checked out we got a bottle of Prosecco from the owner. The owner is very positive and friendly. We felt very valued and taken care of.

Our room was clean and it had new bathroom that was just renovated. It is great value for the price we paid as other options in the area were a lot more expensive.

We had the privilege of spending 4 nights in this incredible guest house. The location is perfect for escaping the crowds and a close 15min walk to the funicular with takes you down to Como (if you don’t have a car). Thank you to Massimo for the pick up and drop off during our stay.
The accommodation is incredibly comfortable and beautifully designed. The pool and expansive garden was a highlight too. Waking up being surrounded by perfectly manicured gardens and the sounds of birds chirping really gave this stay a relaxing feel.
The breakfast is also delicious, with a selection of fruit, cheese, cakes, croissants, fresh coffee and the option to have eggs your way. So so good!
Lastly, thank you to all the staff at Rubini who were welcoming and accommodating to all our requests which included dinner reservations, arrangement of a massage in our room and helpful recommendations.
Boasting views of the surrounding forests, a rooftop terrace with small swimming pool and a garden, Varesello 20 is in a peaceful area in Brunate.

Brunate is a great way to stay above Como and more suitable for families or couples that seek peace and tranquility.
There is a cafe surving drinks and snacks with a FAB view point
Walk to the lighthouse
FAB views of Lake Como!
Funicolcare is great fun
I went on the ferry to Villa Carlotta I left Brunate at 8.30am and took the Ferry at 10am.
It is 2 hours to Villa Caroltta on the lake but it is FAB with beautiful views.
There are various stops along the lake, Double check your return journey as I missed the boat back, There is a bus it takes about 45 minutes and get a ticket from the newsagent down the road for 5 euros, There is a stop by the ferry stop and one outside the newsagent.
With your back to the ferry stop you will see the Como bus Fermata across the road. And turn left from the ferry stop for the newsagent there are shops/cafe here too.
There are FAB resturants in Como. My husband enjoyed the one on the sea front near the ferry stop it served delicious sea food!

A small town overlooking Como's surroundings.
A small town overlooking Como's surroundings. A place to stay to enjoy the coolness of altitude during summer ! The quietness and seclusion, while never being far away from means of transportation (FUNICOLARE) and shops.

Nothing of interest here really.
Nothing of interest here really. Maybe the Volta lighthouse ? (Closed by the time we arrived, so couldn't really tell). Nice view over the lake (Villa d'Este a.o.) from up there. If you do want to come to Brunate, I strongly suggest you take the Funicular from Como for a short round trip. Coming here with a larger car is a bit of a nightmare, and spending the night here was a mistake, wish we'd stayed in Como.
The room had an amazing view over Como lake. Was very clean and lovely decorated. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The bathroom was well equipped.
The breakfast was delicious with home made products. The landlords are very friendly and helpful. Was a pleasure spending the weekend at the property.
The property is very easy reachable from the Como Lago train station with the funicular to Brunate (last departure during week is 22:30, during the weekend is 24) and then a small walk.
There is also parking space near the house.
very clean and perfect location if you like to be away from the main lake area but very easy access to the finiculore tram that takes you down the mountain right to the lake front … very friendly and helpful staff, nice continental breakfast, rooms are dated but the hotel has so much character and the beds are so comfortable, rooms very clean and good shower … the view from our (22) was lovely down over the lake and mountains … we will return
The place is amazing. Up in the hills of Brunate you can leave your car and do everything using the feniculare at a walking distance. The place is quiet and the owner is really helpful. She shared tips about the region and served delicious breakfast (thank you for the clafouti). We will come back. Enjoy a visit of the well maintained gardens. Thank you for everything!
We liked the property and its setup overlooking Como city.
We liked the kindness and professionalism of our Host Lidia.
We liked the appartment which was very well designed , furnished, clean.
We liked the breakfast taken at the Host's table (with an absolute view over Lombardy).
We liked Brunate village overlooking Como, its FUNICOLARE...
And many more things...
Staff at the reception was kind and helpful. Gave us a local permit to park our car outside. Room was big, comfortable and clean. Breakfast at Mama Gina’s was a real treat. With excellent bread selection vegetables eggs and very good yogurt.
Diner at Mama Gina is a must! Enjoy local Italian cuisine at the hotel with the great view of Como lake.
B&B Il Balcone sul Lago was wonderful! The location in Brunate overlooking Lago di Como is beautiful. The owners are wonderful, kind people that made us feel welcomed and comfortable during our stay. They take time to know you and make sure they are taking good care of you. Would absolutely stay there again. A prossima!!!
This is such a beautiful and special place and Cristina and Massimo are so great and so helpful with recommendations and making you feel at home. The attention to detail in the design is perfect. Delicious breakfast. It was a bit of a trek to get up to Brunate from Como but so worth it. I hope to make it back here.
The host helped us by whatsapp with many suggestion and how to find the place, which is in brunate on top of a hill, with a view on the old city center. Very close to Como, it is also possible to reach the lake shore with a special train called "funicolare" which climbs straight up and down along the hill.
Amazing location overlooking Como with great views from the restaurant terrace. You can easily get there using the cable car in case you do not want to hike. If you come by car, make sure you reserve a parking spot in time.
We recommend trying the hotel restaurant and exploring the surroundings in Brunate.
The best part of the stay was without a doubt the view, the hotel is located on top of a hill higher than clouds but the road up there from Como is half an hour of crazy turns where only one car can pass, so book only if you are up to that drive. The staff were quite nice.
The view from the hotel is amazing in its beauty. Getting to the hotel is challenging and you should pay attention to do it in daylight. The owners of the hotel are very nice and caring and made sure our stay was perfect. We enjoyed every moment. highly recommend
The fantastic view from the dining area and from the room was absolutely the best part. People at the hotel were all super nice and I really liked the room setup as well. We also had a dinner at the hotel and enjoyed it a lot together with the sunset+night views!
Perfect location for a visit to Como. Close enough with beautiful views from the hillside. The apartment was spacious and clean. The hostess communicated well and made sure that all questions were addressed.
We loved the peace and tranquility of Brunate. We parked the car up for the week and used the funicular to get to and from Como, jeep ride to the lighthouse and our legs!!
