Challenging location to reach through narrow streets. Restaurant was expensive although the food was excellent.

Nice friendly staff, comfortable room, stunning view from the balcony, excellent breakfast.

The staff were very welcoming. We wish we could have also had a chance to try the food there, it looked excellent, but we didn't get a chance as we were short on time:)

This property exudes old world charm, and the views are spectacular. The drive up the mountain to the hotel is a little bit shaky because of the narrow road and hairpin turns, but that’s part of the charm. Situated in a small village atop Santa Maria del Monte whose main focal point is a magnificent UNESCO recognized church covered with frescoes, statues and mosaics. One can spend the day exploring the history, streets and alleys of the village. And the majestic views from the hotel are stunning! Now, the Hotel restaurant - simply amazing! We had an “eight thoughts of the chef” experience that featured eight separate courses of divine creativity , superb presentation, attentive service and exquisite dining. The meal was magnificent and could have been better ONLY if it had been warm enough to dine al fresco. The decision to stay here was spur of the moment, and it was truly the highlight of our journey. we highly recommend Hotel Colonne!

I love the antique vibes and feeling like I was at an Italian grandmas house. there were sitting rooms and the view was breathtaking, also every room had a balcony!

Whilst we appreciate the painted shabby chic look and to a certain degree it suits the hotel, we felt the bedroom furniture let the amazing room (with a high ceiling and a terrace) down a little.

The location of the hotel is amazing with incredible views - we booked room, breakfast and dinner, stayed for two nights. The dinner is served on a terrace that hangs over the edge of the hotel, the views and the ambiance create a wonderful lasting memory. A place to eat for a memorable occasion - the quality and presentation of the evening dinner is an absolute delight. Breakfast was taken on the terrace near the bar - a great selection. The staff were so helpful and well trained, the hotel is a great find!

No air conditioning in the room. There was a nice breeze with the windows open but one can imagine it could be a little hot in the middle of the summer

Beautiful 19th century style hotel in a beautiful location overlooking the Varese lake. Lots of charm, great welcome, decent breakfast. Lush surroundings great for walks. Fantastic spacious balcony with splendid view.
