This hotel with its amazing view was acquired by a young entrepreneur who’s brought it back to life Not the finished article but deserves 100% support and congratulations They’re straining every sinew to make it work and it’s a great place to spy the lake and enjoy downtime

Hotel Funicolare Review The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and the location is absolutely wonderful, with a dreamlike view that is definitely the highlight of the hotel. That said, the hotel itself feels quite dated. The carpet in the room was in need of a deep clean, and the bathroom had not been cleaned to the standard I would expect. The shower and taps were covered in limescale. The corridors and reception area also felt rather old and unwelcoming, and could definitely benefit from some renovation and better maintenance. Having said all that, the price was fair for what the hotel offers. If you are looking for somewhere to stay for just one night, I think it is a perfectly reasonable choice, especially if you are willing to overlook the dated interiors for that dream view. The location and scenery really are the hotel’s biggest advantages.

The room was clean and spacious. The view was like something out of a movie, amazing! Slightly disappointed to find out the restaurant was pizzas only but the pizza was nice. Breakfast was also a slight let down, not much hot food to offer there than hotdog sausages and eggs. There were no pastries left when we went up

A balcony with a view

It's really an experience to visit this hotel. Rooms and breakfast is as can be expected for the price range but the view from the balconies makes up for everything! would highly recommend to make a stop here - I will again in the future.

Charming hotel which has it's quirks but that's all part of the experience with fantastic staff who made us feel very welcome and satisfied. The view was fabulous and the food was terrific and the staff were brilliant. The road up to the hotel is not for the faint hearted (Strada da Valmara) so take their advice on how to reach the property if you are not very confident with mountain roads.

Super accommodating. We booked last minute because another hotel booking fell through & upon checking in we were upgraded to a lake view room. Mohammed at the restaurant was very good to us.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Let me begin by saying that this is one of the most beautiful resorts in the world! The architecture is fantastic with private balconies on every room which allow personal, gorgeous views that one will never forget. Built at the turn of the twentieth century, the property has been maintained well. Considering that the resort sits atop a very high peak overlooking a beautiful lake in the Alps, that is no small feat. The interior has been well preserved, shiny and clean. The rooms are clean, spacious and very comfortable. That’s the good side of the experience. On the down side, the staff, the restaurant, the unwelcoming atmosphere, not so good. We got the feeling from check in until departure that we were a big inconvenience. Not rude, just indifferent, not friendly. We sat in the restaurant for half an hour, completely ignored, while a small group (we assumed they were locals) had a get together, and finally walked out. We drove around the mountain a short way and found a small restaurant where we had the most wonderful home cooked meal we could have dreamed of. No breakfast, no coffee, no restaurant. I would definitely stay here again, but with no expectations of service.

Unbelievable View! Amazing breakfast!

Try finding a hotel with that view for that price anywhere in the world, the pictures just can't capture how amazing it is. Breakfast was the best I've had and worth £30+ but was included. Rooms were the cleanest by far I've stayed in and we are on a roadtrip around europe. The receptionist was very helpful and the owner went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. For the fact they have only just opened I'd get in while the prices are cheap as they will surely go up with popularity. Top recommendation from the owner, go and see the Balcony of Italy that is 15mins away WOW!
