The hotel with a fantastic view!
Very warm welcome by the owner at arrival. After 9 hours driving, we were so hungry, even the kitchen was already closed, they prepared the lunch for us. We received a big towel for shower, one for face and another big towel for the pool. so spoiled! The view from the room, the pool and the garden was amazing!! We spent wholeday at the hotel. The parking was reserved for the guests, which is underground so that the cars stay cool during hot days. I highly recommend this hotel.

The views are unbeatable, the staff was so warm and welcoming, great location and the food was excellent. Such a relaxing and peaceful place. Had a great time hanging out by the pool and having lunch or a coffee on the terrace. I also thought the breakfast was very tasty. So much food and all great quality. I will certainly go back!

family run business by lovely people. I believe it should be the first destination if you go to como at first time. Car is necessary as the hotel is up to hill takes 25 mins walk from Tremezzino. They have great food and service. Stunning view. One of my best staying globally.

Quaint hotel with amazing views
The place was very cute and had amazing views towards the top of the mountain. The breakfast was good! I wouldn't reccoemnd staying here if you don't have a car. Difficult to find a taxi and it's a very steep walk back to the hotel after going into town. Very nice owners that drove us to the ferry when we were leaving, which is at the bottom of the hill from the hotel. There's also no AC so it was very hot as we went in the summer. Overall a nice place just rent a car.

Attentive staff, unbelievable view!!!
This hotel did not disappoint. Located above the lake level in a picturesque village, the view from the hotel was simply stunning. We found Franco and his staff to be extrememly accommodating and hospitable, as if we were guests in their own home. The breakfast buffet was simple, yet plentiful and our table was set up outside the dining room every morning by the staff despite the chilly temperatures. We had dinner there every night of our stay and found the fixed-price menu to be a real value and the entire experience was wonderful. Rooms were clean with a rustic feel but it was all about the view. Our minds couldn't process the beauty that our eyes were taking in. We will undoubtedly be back to this hotel and look forward to enjoying all the hotel has to offer. We highly recommend staying here.

GREAT VIEW OF THE LAKE
Welcomed like we were family, superb food and service. Excellent location, loads of help and advice for visiting certain sights around the lake. We had a 2nd floor room with a superb view as promised, all clean and tidy and a comfortable bed. Breakfast was a relaxed affair with a vast choice to suit all tastes, eat inside or out too enjoy the glorious view. A true home from home, a place you can unwind and read the paper in a magnificent lounge.

Only Good Thing Is The View
Terrible. I will never stay here again and would never recommend it to anyone unless they loved picturesque views. The beds are extremely uncomfortable (old spring beds). There is no sound proofing, you can hear other guests snoring, scraping furniture, talking in their rooms plus the house keeping are very noisey at 8:30am they commence cleaning, vacuuming and chat to each other outside your door. The food was nice but if you eat lunch you have a good chance of being served left-overs from the buffet 2 nights prior. Yes, breakfast is included but I don't recommend eating it... coffee is dreadful, croissants are commercial packages and there is a chance you will not get fresh bread. Lastly, the view is amazing... if you don't care about all the above then stay here, you will certainly appreciate the view.

Panoramic views of Lake Como - from Hotel Rusall
The location of this hotel is excellent because it's half way up the mountain and so the views are amazing. If you walk down to to the lake it takes about 15 minutes, nice and easy. Walking up is more like a hike and if you could get a taxi, I would recommend that. We stayed for 2 nights this year, next time we will stay for at least 3 nights.

Very friendly hotel with great views over lake Como however our room lacked air conditioning and the weather was hot.We'd certainly consider going again at a cooler time of year. P.S. The owner was a couple of class cars in the underground garage, worth a look if you like that

Perfect getaway
Had a fantastic stay at Hotel Rusall, the location is beautiful, in my opinion one of the best spots on the lake, stunning views out over Bellagio and the surrounding mountains. Food is great, very friendly and welcoming hosts and simply the best spot to have a drink at the end of the day. Is a decent walk up the hill from the lake, about 30min, bring your walking shoes if you don't want to drive or taxi. Only negative was no air con in the rooms, was very humid during our stay, there is a fan and plenty of windows but not quite as good as air con. If you want a good place to base yourself to explore the best parts of the lake I definitely recommend.

Great Lake View off the Beaten Track
We enjoyed our stay at the Rusall, even though it's a bit out of the way. You can't beat the view from the terrace, the rooms are clean and have all the necessities. We ate lunch and dinner a la carte when we were there and it was very good. The pool is nice, but only open from 9 am to 7 pm, which I thought was a bit limiting because I like to swim before breakfast. The Rusall is a family run hotel and they are very friendly and accommodating.

Set evening meal twice as expensive and half as good as we had been used to in Tuscany. No air con and noisy disco across lake; other guests said that this had been the same on most nights. Wifi not very reliable.

Our second visit and still love it
We revisited the Rusall after a 4 years. Now they have a pool and expanded parking facilities which are a plus. This is a lovely family run hotel and restaurant the views are fantastic and the accommodations simple but very comfortable and extremely clean. We stayed in the newer "dependence" accommodation which although lacking the balcony view had air conditioning and the rooms are larger.

Great Location
One of the best views in the area, this hotel has a great terrace for breakfast overlooking Bellagio. Breakfast is fairly basic but adequate, as are the rooms. One criticism would be that the walls are a bit thin so you may be woken up by your neighbours. Overall a nice hotel in a great location with friendly staff.

Great views and vino!
It's quite a drive up the hill from the lake road but because of this the views are magnificent. The hotel is well appointed especially the linen. The dining experience was good and we got a very special half bottle of wine when we asked. I'd stay again as it is a great location on the lake and there is parking available on the lake road to see the attractions and catch the ferries.
