Quite simply, wonderful. Richard and the team couldn’t have been more polite and attentive. From Richard’s stories to the friendly service, the Villa Clementina is a fantastic place to unwind. Nestled part way up the hill in Colonno on the Western side of Lake Como, any spot commands amazing views of the lake. The food and service at their restaurant is amazing and the staff so friendly. The continental breakfast and the made-to-order items are incredible and the evening service cements this place as one of favourite restaurants in the area. They offer beautifully prepared food with a preference for local ingredients, some of which are grown on-site.
The infinity pool is compact and beautiful but a little too chilly for our October stay.
We drove from Linate, finding the reserved parking on the ground floor of the nearby multi-story easy to access and convenient.
The only slight downside is the relatively infrequent ferry service from the Colonno pier, being a smaller town it’s just not as popular so not as well connected as other towns (although we were staying just outside peak season, which may have been a factor in the timetable). Plan around it though or take a car (or private boat tour) and it’s fine. Villa Carlotta just North up the coast and Belaggio an hour by ferry. Lovely place. We’ll definitely be back again.
