Enjoyable stay
The room is clean and spacious. The beds are firm and comfortable, the pillows are a bit too bulky for us but it’s a personal preference. The furniture, in my opinion, look outdated, but again some guests may like the “antique” types of furnishings. The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood and one block from the lake. There’s a ferry dock with limited service. Breakfast offers fresh fruits, hard boiled eggs, cold meats, cheeses, yogurt, delicious cakes and hot beverages. The hostess, Laura, is extremely helpful, so is her assistant, Giovanna(?)! The place is charming. We enjoyed our stay.

Locanda della Maria stay
The rooms were fabulous. It is reasonably priced for not being in the center of the city. Breakfast was more than adequate. Checking in was a bit hard, since this is a bed and breakfast place without a registration desk.

We had the best time at this cute BNB. The daily buffet breakfast was a great way to start the day. The place was impeccably clean. It is located close to the biggest/best beach in all of Bellagio.

Have to unload car then park down the hill (free). A bit noisy when people come up and down stairs. Nice breakfast. A/C was good. Helpful staff. Not really located near any restaurants that you can walk to. Have to take car and hope to find a parking spot on narrow, windy road. There is a deli nearby and a restaurant, but it was closed the two nights we were there. Recommend Silvio restaurant up the hill connected to a hotel. Room was nice and clean.

This was a great gem. Only downside is if you book the Carmen room, it is an attic that has been converted to a room, so I ended up walking around like a hunch back and banging my head onto the low beams. So just be aware when you book. Otherwise, the ladies were phenomenal and helpful and breakfast was delicious. Definitely would stay there again, in a normal room.

Great property and price
Only stayed one night and found the property with little difficulty. Location is agood walk but short drive to Bellagio. The property is beautiful and comfortable, very clean and well maintained property. The self check- in easy and quick. Parking offsite workable once you learn to navigate area. Road is narrow but fine just be careful. We had a group of 8 and used four rooms. I'd stay here again and recommend highly if you enjoy quality B&Bs.

Perfect Spot for Lake Como Weekend
Perfect location for a long weekend on Lake Como! From the top-story apartment we stayed in, we had spectacular views of the lake and the local church. Laura and her staff were a pleasure to deal with! Breakfast was scrumptious. We loved the location - a little off the beaten trail, but easy to walk to Bellagio or to catch a boat, bus, or mini-train.

My stay here was excellent - the woman that greeted us at reception was very friendly and helpful, giving us lots of tips about the area and transport. The town itself (officially San Giovanni) is small and quiet, and it is about 25 - 30 mins walk from the centre of Bellagio. There is a small continental breakfast available which was also a bonus. It is possible to take a tourist train or bus to Bellagio but you can't do so after 6pm so must either walk or take an Uber/taxi (if it is available - which is unlikely). I personally enjoyed the walk very much but it is important to know this when booking as it does state on the website that it is in Bellagio which is not the case. The thing I liked about San Giovanni is that it is much quieter and more peaceful than Bellagio. There is a small, very nice beach with a bar which is about a 5 minute walk from the accommodation - I don't think there is any beach in Bellagio (at least not that I saw). We still spent time in Bellagio (which is a gorgeous town), walking around and having dinner but then could escape back to San Giovanni for a more quiet vibe. If I go back to Lake Como, I'll definitely be booking at Locanda della Maria again!

Beautiful BnB with the best customer service!
This little gem is just outside the main area of Bellagio but is absolutely beautiful. The host Bruno, goes above and beyond to make your stay amazing, he is clearly so passionate about looking after his guests. It only takes about ten minutes to the main area of the town which is a nice break from the hustle and bustle.

We had a lovely stay. The manager, Bruno looked after us very well and was very helpful. The location is good although there is a 20 minute walk to Bellagio. We were happy with this and there is a bus stop nearby so you don't need to walk. The breakfasts were good also. The real bonus for us was the access to use a private beach on the lake with sun beds which was only a short walk away, A great place to stay

Small and modern inside, old wold charm outside
Just outside Bellagio, this FULLY updated and remodeled B&B score high on all major points: Location, lake swim access, WiFi signal, shower size and water flow, A/C strength and sound insulation. Checkin was a breeze and Bruno is super nice. He is the owner and you can tell he takes pride in his business. Everything is well executed from design, to quality to breakfast. You won't go wrong staying here. Plus, the lake boat bus as a stop right outside the building, giving you access to ALL the towns on Lago Como

This was a lovely hotel - our room had a view to the lake and mountains, and we woke up to the sound of the birds singing. Everything was spotless. Excellent breakfast and an entertaining host. We had our own car (free parking) - it might be a little far for anyone who had to walk to Bellagio to eat. But the walk was beautiful, especially if you went via the Villa Melzi (ticket good for the whole day so you can walk back the same way). If you like gardens this was already on your list! We were very happy with this accommodation.

Lovely hotel in quiet area
This is a lovely little hotel. The room was very clean and quiet, and the breakfast was excellent. Bruno (owner/manager??) was extremely helpful and friendly. The only negative is that it's about a 25 minute walk from Bellagio along narrow roads which isn't great in the dark, however a taxi only takes a few minutes. There is also a ferry from very near the hotel to Bellagio but it only runs a few times a day. There aren't many restaurants nearby, but if you're looking for a quieter location or have a car this is ideal. The Wifi wasn't very good in the rooms.

Great hotel - if you have a car
The only drawback to this hotel - and it is a big one if you don't have a car - is that it is a considerable distance from Bellagio. It is at least a half hour walk from the center. There is a ferry stop nearby, but it is a secondary one and not every ferry stops there. Also, there is only a single fish restaurant nearby- no cafes or places to sit and have a glass of wine or a coffee. No laundry. Otherwise it is fantastic. Clean, bright rooms. Delicious breakfast. Wonderful staff, beautiful location near the water. We would recommend it highly to anyone with a car or to anyone who wants a quiet place a distance from town.

Great B&B close to Bellagio
The room was nice, clean and spacious. The bathroom was very clean and big too. We had a great continental breakfast the morning after we checked in. Bruno was an awesome host, help us with our trip back to Milan. He planned and printed out an itinerary that included exact times for ferry, trains and all the connections we needed to make in order to make our flight from Milan Malpensa early in the morning, He did all this while we enjoyed the day in Bellagio,. He even had someone pick us up at 6;00am to drive us to the ferry stop. That was extremely nice of him. Thank you Bruno, for making our short stay in Bellagio an amazing one!! Grazie
