Also it is shaded by neighbor buildings, this makes the place cool on the hot summer days in Lugano. Normally is run only by the bartender as the place has few tables. Bar tenders change during the week but all of them have been efficient and polite. It is the perfect place to sit-down and enjoy a drink away from the tourists that fill this lovely city.

The Albergo Rusall is a wonderful hotel located in the village of Rogaro, 300 meters above Lake…read moreComo. It has great service offered by hosts Gianfranco and Luciano and their families. Rusall has beautiful views of the lake and the mountains, is quiet and offers meals in the full service and excellent restaurant/bar. The Albergo has super comfy common seating areas, a large terrace, and a new pool and tennis court. While usually accessed by car, the Albergo can be accessed from the Tremezzo boat dock, by a steep 20 min climb up the Via Delle Selve trail (right across from the boat dock). Hiking around Rogaro is superb. There are easy short walks on "muletiere" to explore other villages, as well as epic climbs up to Monte Nava, Pillone and for the truly dedicated the 5 hr climb to the top of the Crocione. Two mid-strength popular hikes are to the San Martino chapel , and to the Cappella degli Alpini, both are great picnic spots.

I stayed at the Grand Hotel Menaggio for a week over the summer and everything about our hotel stay…read morewas great. Our room looked out over lake Como and was spacious for the 3 of us. The hotel staff were all friendly. The morning breakfast had a great assortment of eggs, meats, breads, tarts, fruits, juices, cheeses, etc. We had dinner one night at the hotel and it was delicious. This was one of the nicer meals we had in Menaggio. The hotel pool was nice but pretty cold. Surprisingly we did not enjoy pool time as much as we'd like because we were in the city and exploring the other towns around Lake Como. There is a bar inside the hotel near the pool available for any lunch items or cocktails. This hotel is right next to the ferry stop which can take you across the lake to Bellagio and Varenna. That is a major plus if you have someone who cannot walk long distances - the ferry station is right by. There is also a small grocery store right across the corner of the hotel, which can come in handy. The walk into Menaggio Centre is more like a 10 minute stroll - where there are churches, stores, restaurants, etc. The hotel concierge organized rides for us to the airport, buses into other cities and taxis for us for some local activities we booked (Italian cooking dinner via Airbnb experiences). Overall, this hotel was beautiful and our stay was wonderful. Highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a great hotel in Menaggio.

The view of Lake Lugano alone is worth the 5-star status. The pictures I've attached do no justice…read moreand 100% of the rooms have this view. Inside each room has a separate bedroom from the sitting and working area as well as an amazing outdoor space. The restaurants are a little pricey but the food is rather good. Even if you're not a cigar aficionado, the Havana Deck is a cool bar and maybe you've never smoked a Cuban and figure "why not" while gazing at that bowl of lights down the valley that encircle the dark lake. The train is a quick walk away if you know the secret path from the lower levels and there are plenty of spectacular bars, shops, and restaurants just beyond that train station if you've already spent a few nights and need something beyond what's only on the hotel. This is my second time staying and the quality did not degrade.
