This hotel is across the road from Colico railway station. The town is not as touristy as Bellagio or Varenna: the sole small supermarket was closed on Saturday afternoon. The hotel is set back from the quite busy single lane each way road. It has an old style quaint lift with patrons having to keep pressing the desired floor button. My generously sized first floor room had a proper Queen bed, often not the case in Europe. The safety deposit box was archaic and ideally ought be replaced with a modern model. The bed was good quality. Bedside tables were well lit. The desk had a comfortable chair. There was a balcony but I didn't seem able to obtain access. The TV lacked English language channels. A bottle of drinking water was provided, as was soap and shampoo. Pleasingly, there was a mini fridge. Bed linen and towels were good quality. The bath towel was a proper large one, again unusual in Europe. The bathroom was also a decent size. The shower was efficient and did not leak onto the bathroom floor. Lighting in the bathroom was good. Breakfast was pleasant although there were only 12 seats if I recall. The juices such as peach were first class. I enjoyed a hot chocolate, yoghurt and croissants. The owners were very helpful. The nearest Catholic Church is St George (San Giogio) with a Saturday night Vigil Mass at 1800 hours while Sunday Masses are at 1030 and 1800. It is 350 metres or so from the hotel.
