Albergo Giardinetto is a one-star hotel in the historic center of Bellagio, about 150 meters from Lake Como and a few steps from the gardens of Villa Serbelloni.
The rooms are furnished in a rustic style, with tiled floors and a private bathroom fitted with a hairdryer; some overlook the lake, others the property’s inner garden. The hotel also features a terrace, a shared lounge and a garden, and free WiFi is available throughout the premises.
The central location is one of the strengths highlighted by guests, with a score of 9.0 for this aspect: restaurants, shops and cafés are just a few meters from the entrance, while Bellagio’s harbor, with ferry connections to the other side of the lake, is about a five-minute walk away. The property, which has no elevator and is spread over several floors connected by stairs, suits those looking for a simple, authentic stay in the village, without giving up proximity to the lake and its main attractions.
The rooms at Albergo Giardinetto share the same rustic style, with tiled floors, a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer and toiletries, plus free WiFi. The floor area ranges from about 14 to 16 square meters, while maximum occupancy grows from the classic double to the triple, designed for small groups or families with one child.
What sets the room types apart is mainly the view and a few amenities: the Double Room with Balcony offers views of the lake and surrounding mountains, a private balcony, a bathtub and air conditioning, while the Double Room with Garden View looks toward the interior of the property. The Triple Room, larger than the other two, is designed for three people and combines a single bed with a large double bed. At the time of booking it is possible to specify the preferred bed type for the double rooms.
