What an incredible experience! I highly recommend staying here. The host/family are so sweet and went above and beyond to help us get to the hotel as well as helped us plan our travel back to Milan. The view is unbelievable with multiple areas to take photos. We loved the complementary breakfast and just relaxing in the garden. 15/10 stay and we will be back in the future! The only thing I recommend is figuring out your transportation to and from the hotel in advanced. It is very hard to use public transit to get here. I would recommend getting a taxi/uber from the como main station or even renting a car. Thank you for everything again!

We thought the actual view from the hotel was even better than the pictures. We heard coocoo birds and various wildlife when we out walking about. The staff was exceptionally kind and could speak English perfectly. We ate dinner one evening and had the eggplant parmigiana, which rivaled the best we had in Italy. The room were large and clean, and the location is really quiet. There are also lots of nice locations to sit alone or with other travelers and have a drink and enjoy the view. As far as parking, it is much easier to park in the nearby town's free parking and call the B&B to be picked up, as the old town streets are just about impassible. You'll scratch up your car if you try to drive yourself. If your cell phone does not work in Europe, like ours, you can ask the local shop in to call for you. The town, mostly locals, is really nice and welcoming. Definitely our favorite place on the trip.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The place in general was pretty, the view was amazing. But the inconvenience of it being high up on the mountain through tiny roads, will keep me from coming back. They offer a shuttle service where they take you up and down in a small fiat car, The lady who runs it during the day was extremely kind, however do expect to wait at least 20-30 mins at the bottom. We had an early train the day we were checking out at 7:03 and had to be down the mountain at 6:25 at the latest, to then catch a taxi to the station. We asked if they could take us down and she said she had to ask the owner. Long story short, he said he would only take us down at 6:30. When I asked kindly if he could possibly take us down even 5-10 mins earlier, he was quite rude about it saying “6:30 or you walk”. So we ended up walking down the rainy cobblestone paths with all our luggage to get there on time. 25 minute walk, not fun. Also the keys are the old simple kind that truly have no security to them, and can be easily picked.🗝️ If you plan on seeing the city a lot, or have an early train to catch, this is probably not the right option.

We really enjoyed our stay at Essentia Guest House. Gianluca went above and beyond. Met us to shuttle us back and forth to the location, his dining options were excellent, and he even took us to the local train station. This is a quaint and charming experience with gorgeous views of lake como, and you really feel immersed into the culture. Highly recommend.

It's a hike. So, if you can't go up stairs this is not the property for you. The host was doing his best. Gracious man, he transported us to the Guest House from the 'parking area', he showed us or room, he made our drinks and served us dinner. The place is not 'walkable' and there is no where else to go but to just stay and enjoy what you see.

Thank you Gianluca & Matteo!!!

The host went above and beyond helpful. Our flight was delayed, our Uber cancelled twice, we ended up getting there 3 hours after last check in, but Gianluca & Matteo were there for us and saved the day by getting us safely to the guest house. A fantastic breakfast with spectacular views, I would recommend this place to anyone.

The hotel has many qualities… it's family-friendly and quiet, and under other circumstances I could have given it a 10/10 review, but in my personal case, it's not suitable for people with disabilities. Gianluca and Sofía provided us with exceptional customer service. Parking is NOT at the hotel; you arrive at a designated parking lot and they pick you up. That's where the adventure begins. The streets are extremely narrow, where most cars can't fit. It's a very old place, but everything is updated: rooms, bathrooms, restaurant—it's top-notch.

This place is a unique gemstone. It’s an adventure to get to it, but you won’t have to do the driving, you will have the most memorable drive through ancient town built into the side of the mountain and the owners car will get a couple of more scratches but it’s all worth it. The view is the Best we have encountered in Italy and you will meet the owners pets and maybe will have the pleasure seeing their flying squirrel that lives on the fig tree. Amazing experience.
