Hotel Albergo Silvio (Bellagio, Italy)

Many of the rooms offer a unique panoramic view of the lake, the mountains surrounding it and the old tower, which many previous guests have deemed worth paying extra to reserve a room with a view. The experience is only enhanced in the rooms which also include a private balcony.

A favourite of locals and visitors alike, guests of the Hotel Silvio are lucky enough to have the Albergo Ristorante Silvio right at their disposal. From the freshly caught lake fish to the home-made pasta, this is some of the best cuisine that the area has to offer.

Every few hours there are complimentary shuttles available from the hotel to Bellagio town centre so you can still enjoy the life of the town when you choose to. Airport shuttles can also be arranged for you at your request. Enquire at the reception the details for this.

Majority of the guest rooms are quite compact and this is felt most in the bathrooms which some guests have found to be difficult to manoeuvre for taller people, etc. The view does however do a lot for the atmosphere and for longer stays there are always the suites and apartments to consider.

Aside from most of the suites and the apartments which have their own kitchen, there are no minibars or fridges in the guest rooms which some prefer to keep their own light refreshments in.

Although the hotel is just fifteen minutes away on foot, it is quite a tough walk particularly the one back to the hotel up a slope and some level of fitness is required.
