SANTANGELA Hostel & Rooms enjoys a beautiful and tranquil location by the picturesque Lake Como. Nestled in a wooded park above the village, this lodge offers stunning lake views and a serene environment, while still being within easy walking distance to Menaggio’s central attractions, including the ferry, pier and the old town. Despite the uphill journey to the lodge, guests find the scenic walk and the peaceful ambiance a worthwhile trade-off. Convenient public transport options like buses and ferries nearby make it easy for guests to explore the surrounding villages.
The dining experience at the lodge, particularly dinner, has received high praise. The restaurant offers a varied menu with popular dishes such as pizza, pasta, burgers and tiramisu at reasonable prices, complemented by stunning views and amazing cocktails. Breakfast, included in the room rate, provides simple options like cereals, bread, jam and coffee. While generally seen as sufficient, it may disappoint those expecting a more substantial spread. Guests appreciate the friendly and communicative staff helping them make the most of the dining experience.
The rooms at Lake Como Peace Lodge offer magnificent views, particularly from those on the higher floors. While the rooms are basic and somewhat outdated, they are functional and well-maintained, providing good value for money especially for budget-conscious travelers. Cleanliness, however, receives mixed reviews. While many guests find the rooms clean and well-kept, others have mentioned issues such as stained towels, old mattresses and minor maintenance problems. Despite this, the warm and welcoming atmosphere, along with the serene environment, makes it a notable option.
The lodge's staff consistently receive commendations for their friendliness and helpfulness. Many guests feel welcomed and at ease due to the staff’s attentive and accommodating nature. Instances of staff going above and beyond are frequently highlighted, making guests’ stay even more pleasant.
Lake Como Peace Lodge provides free parking, a significant advantage for travelers with cars. The lodge’s private parking area is large and easily accessible, adding to the convenience and overall appeal. The Wi-Fi service is generally good, though there are occasional connectivity issues, particularly on the second floor.
However, there are some cons to be aware of, particularly regarding accessibility. The uphill location and steep steps can pose challenges for guests with mobility issues. While the friendly staff and the overall peaceful environment are positives, the lack of shuttle services could be a drawback for some.
Overall, SANTANGELA Hostel & Rooms is a favorable choice for budget-conscious travelers seeking a serene retreat with stunning views, friendly service and convenient amenities, despite some areas needing improvement.
