We stopped here well taking a day trip around lake Como. This ministry is very large and with many beautiful view points of the lake. This ministry also has many places where you could just sit relax and reflect. It is also pretty quiet here I definitely recommend visiting here well you are in the lake Como area.

Very beautiful place & worth the twisty-turny cobblestone roads to get there. We biked from the Domaso side of the lake which was an adventure (there are nice bike trails, but you do have to take the main road at times which can get a bit hairy). Very peaceful abbey that seems to be a hidden gem. Great views of Lake Como, nice olive trees, and pretty flowers. Must try the chocolate croissants from the cafe - the are the best we've had in Europe so far! Bathrooms are standard squat toilets (there was toilet paper, but I'd advise having tissues just in case :).

Beautiful place where you can bring your family. I recommend the coffee liqueur they sell in the shop.

All in all it’s a very pretty site, nice church/chapel, nice gardens, nice view. But why did god send a mowing machine, but no one to clean the toilets? Well maybe because nobody lives or works here anymore?! But of course they do. However it seems more important to keep the holy liquor store open, than the lavatories clean 😅👍 Logistically buy the liquor on your way out, because there is still some disinfectant left, whereas in the toilets there’s not even soap.

Very nice and silent place. One of the best places in the area to visit.

Beautiful place close to nature and sacred, where you can contemplate both of them. Lovely spot and pleasant monks in the abbey.

A small monastery with a souvenir shop. Good views but not worth the visit if you aren‘t driving by anyway, half an hour is absolutely enough for a visit - the boat schedule is too infrequent to visit it without a car unless you want to hike back.

Definitely drive down to the venue it’s well worth the visit. Highly recommend a car with good suspension as the road down is really bumpy

Remarkable Fort. For all those who are WW1 /WW2 enthusiasts, this is a must. Fantastic tour guide who was more than happy to answer any additional questions. Great views from the tops well.

Very cool place to visit and find out all you want about a military fort. Bonus - the place is intact

Very interesting how good engineering was a century ago. The battery is a must see. The full tour is about an hour.

Wonderfull attraction with visit guide. Very inetresting.if you are lover to visit historic places of the 1st and 2nd World War

Superb example of WW1 defensive thinking, augmented today by people in uniform. Astounded to see that the original canon are maintained and can be moved as smoothly as they day they were made. Even the munitions hoists worker.

It's all right. Nothing to write home about. If you have relatives living inside the fortress and you're going to visit the, then by all means take a look at it. The Tour guid(ess) was excellent and fluently made the tour bilingual in IT/EN. Spoiler: in the end Mussolini dies. So one more star for the fort, that was indirectly resposible for it. At least according to the relatives, that live inside the fortress.

Remarkably well preserved fort with excellent views from the gun platform, only a short walk from Colico station. It has an interesting history and the wider conflict around a lesser well front (to me at least) of the First World War compared to the more widely known battles of the Western Front was also an eye opener. Our guide was very knowledgeable, impressively conducting the tour in multiple languages whilst still finding time to accommodate each set of guests and answer questions. When we visited you couldn't just roam the site freely, you had to join a tour, so check what times the tours run to avoid disappointment. A wholly unexpected discovery in this region, definitely worth a visit.

Well worth the visit. I really enjoyed the tour and views. They offered several different languages for the tour, which was a great bonus to for people.

Sadly I didn't have enough time to read anything on the borads to get the information I wanted to, as we needed to press on with the tour guide, but he continued on explaining in 34 sentences in italian and 2 in english. At that continued with every stop. A cool experience but improve in that please. :)

A really well preserved military fort, from WW1 and WW2, A great insight into the lives of the troops who were stationed there. The guided tour was brilliant, and the views from the top a spectacular

Don’t trust the schedule, I was assured by ticket lady that bus would come at scheduled time. Waited almost an hour and it didn’t. When asked for a refund because the bus didn’t arrive the lady at the shop gave so much attitude.

30 min delay

We enjoyed walking through the area almost without any other people. There are a few signs to read about history and nice views to the valley and mountains

Very nice site. Good explanation by the guide. Be sure to bring water, it is quite a climb to the top.

Breathtaking view of the northern part of Lake Como. We can see River Adda and River Mera joining the lake. Spectacular!! 😍

At the top or the start of lake como Italy's biggest guns defends it beauty if you can, take some time out see why this area was so important it is a place you will come back to

great old fortress nice to see in combination with the fortrress from the first and second world war, it's cl9s3 to it.

Nice place

(Translated by Google) Very little is left of this originally Spanish fort from 1603. This was reportedly destroyed by (yes, there it is again) Napoleon and his army... It was then further demolished to serve as building material for the 8-cannon anti-aircraft gun that was built there around the time of the First World War . The downside to me was that there were very few descriptions of the remains of the fort, only the descriptions of the main buildings were described. But all in all, well worth a visit. (Original) Van dit, van oorsprong, Spaanse fort uit 1603, is vrij weinig meer over. Dit is naar verluid door (ja daar is hij weer) Napoleon en zijn leger vernietigd... Vervolgens is het verder afgebroken om als bouwmateriaal te dienen voor het, 8 kanonnen tellende afweergeschut, dat er rond de tijd van de eerste wereldoorlog, is gebouwd. Minpuntje vond ik dat er vrij weinig beschrijvingen bij de resten van het fort waren te ontdekken, alleen de beschrijvingen van hoofdgebouwen waren beschreven. Maar al met al, zeker een bezoek waard.

First time visit to the Restaurant 31/08/2023. This is local small restaurant in a small village in Como lake, with Italian atmosphere. The food is carefully cooked in an excellent manner. It tastes Italian. The house wine is good. Staff/waitress very friendly. Even though the staff does not speak fluently English language, you will find it no difficult to communicate and order, as they do anything possible to help you and choose the right food. Great service. Reasonable prices/not expensive. Thumb UP! Highly recommended.

Potatoes, cheese and more potatoes and more cheese… And no papers in the rest room. My individual experience was sad :( I see comments saying waiters do not speak English, but did anyone mention that they actually pretend as if they understand it. Communication issues and/or lack of common sense. Here is the short story: I asked for recommendation. I ended up ordering two starters and a main dish (served min 2) Too much food for a single person. And recommended main dish was nearly the same as the mixture of two starters :)) That waiter should be in love with potatoes and cheese. Note: I tried to clarify portion sizes beforehand but did not work out. +1 star, food was okay.

Definitely and honestly it has become our restaurant. We live in downtown Como but spend an hour and half to arrive here is PERFECTLY AND TOTALLY RIGHT. Unbelievable atmosphere, totally nice owner and waitress. PERFECT FOOD. PERFECT WINE “vino della casa” PERFECT LOCATION. EVERYTHING IT WAS PERFECT. VERY VERY VALUABLE FOR HOW MUCH YOU EAT AND HOW BIG ARE THE PORTIONS and THE FINAL PRICE. WOW. Unbelievable place. One of the best restaurant and food we ever eat. Thank you to all of you guys. It’s beautiful to be in a place where the people LOVE THEM JOB. We’ll be back in 2 weeks. Daniele and Beatrice. ❤️❤️❤️

No words can describe the experience. Great service, delicious and extraordinary food that won't break the bank. You MUST give this a try!

We had a fantastic experience at El Mercante despite some language barriers. The server provided the menu in English but neither our Italian nor his English was the greatest. The “starters” were part of the prix fix menu and included some pickled vegetables, fried mozzarella “shots”, cheesy potatoes, and a lovely charcuterie board. This was a lot of food, but it was all good and we took the leftovers with us. Next up we had a pasta with chunks of pumpkin, it was fantastic. Finally for the second I we had the veal which was very good. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and look forward to going back again to try the risotto!

The restaurant is worth a visit.Very tasty, the portions are quite large. It's a little difficult to understand the menu system, but it's manageable.

Great place for dinner! I spend a few days around The Como Lake and this restuarant was the best! Nice and helpful staff, big portions (you can order a huge plate for 2-3 persons and after you'll be full),all of dishes prepared before serving, great desserts. I strongly recommend this place!

Lovable place with little and quite exclusive rooms. You can find traditional food from Valtellina but also hand made pasta. Portions are generous and the food is amazing. Prices are really good and honest.

Staff were friendly and attentive. The pizza very mediocre unfortunately but I did not get the feeling any of the places around this area would be any different.

Amazing ristorante, that looks over the lake. The menu is varied but not too much. They have a great selection of wines. The service was great with a friendly and professional staff.

This is the best gnocchi I’ve ever tried in my life! I was eating it with closed eyes cause it was so so delicious! I can’t believe food can taste so good. And the wine is amazing too. The owner is a really nice guy. So totally recommend two place. This is like food paradise :)

It was a recommendation of our Hotel (Villa Colico Hotel) and we really enjoyed everything. The quality of the food, the fantastic service, the wine. Great experience

Service is great. No pizza better :) Nice place and good for the lunch.

Food and service was amazing! We dined here on our first night in Colico and had tuna steaks and the seasonal porcini tagliatelle and were blown away. Also, if you’re having trouble selecting a wine, the servers will tell you everything. Would definitely go back!

Delicious food! Amazing pasta and bites to eat with beers. Also you can sit outside and watch the lake, a really beautiful place. Thanks so much :)

(Summer 2020) Good restaurant! We were there few days ago. As typically you get bread and olive oil before the meal. The bread was nothing special and a bit dry. But! The olive oil... was amazing!! One of the best I ever tasted so far! 😍 And so the Balsamico for the salad! We had 3 different pizzas and mine was by far the best. I got the pizza with mozzarella di buffalo! If you’re considering taking a pizza I would recommend getting this one!

Really nice view but the lunch was not a big impression

amazing service - the view is insane, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The food in their restaurant is also out of this world. Highly recommended!

Not the nicest rooms but goid breakfast amd friendly service.They charge you a fair price for drinks. DO NOT GO TO PER BACCA and the Bar next to Hotel Risi. A complety rip off

Amazing place on the Lago di Como shores!From the first person at the reception desk 😀 Linda to every other person working there was a great experience!Breathtaking view on Lago di Como,slept as a baby,very comfortable bed and room,super breakfast!💓What else!?😍

Very nice view on the lake, very friendly and helpful staff. Real fine, good, food for nice price. Reservation required(It's that good:)

Excellent affordable hotel at the Lago di Como in the centre of Colico ❤️

Lovely staff. Very friendly and helpful. The rooms were large and clean and some have terraces, which was a nice surprise.

Hotel review - excellent location, clean, but average quality. Our room was pink, had some older furniture, and the bathroom had odd layout. Also had a small lizard sneak out of the bed when we pulled the sheets back and scurrying away. The hotel is right across from the ferry dock, but also right in town. Convenient, but if there’s a concert in town, be prepared to stay up listening. Staff was very pleasant.

Greatest hospitality experience. Flexibility, openess, support. From reception, thru room and breakfast, to sauna - everything of the utmost quality.

Good enough to plan a return trip. Pity that the restaurant was closed but suspect food venues closer to the station offer superior food and service to the gigantic pizza shop near Risi. And don’t miss the gelato shop about 100m from Risi (to the right as you look at Risi) open until 2300 in September.

Good place to stay & relax. Breakfast should be better.

We were on a business trip. The service was great, and what's most important, the room was one of the cleanliest I've ever been in

Location excellent, but extra charges for (slippers, toothpaste etc. Small items) poor decision by hotel management.

Nice hotel in a very good local..Staff very friendly.

This hotel offers a great value for money in this location. There is free parking and the best restaurant in town in the hotel. The breakfast also includes freshly cooked eggs, bacon, omlettes, etc. A few minutes to the lake side where all the other nightlife and restaurants are. Definitely recommended!

Wonderful dinner. Great food - simple but well curated and executed food and wine list. Informal but curated service. Warm yet modern atmosphere. Among the very best around lake Como and in bassa Valtellina. Highly recommended.

Nice and quiet location with excellent food. Service very friendly. We can fully recommend this small hotel.

Fantastic restaurant! Delicious (very special) local food. Super friendly staff. English menue card available and staff speaks good english too. Also very dog friendly. Many parking options in the area.

The quality is absolutely unquestionable, especially for fish based dishes (kudos to the chef). However, the price is well above average and you're likely get out of the restaurant and still be hungry

Excellent service and food. Very nice place!

The restaurant was very good: tasty food, pleasant atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff. The room also was nice.

Meal was good. Only problem was the bad organization of staff that we waited quite long time to take order. I would not expect it once there is serving fee 2,5 EUR per person.

Nice ambient and setting. Price considers cheap than other available restaurants nearby. Too bad we found out about this restaurant only at the end of our trip.

Everything was perfect. Our risotto was mind-blowing 🤭 We really enjoyed our anniversary dinner 🧡

Very nice place. Small and intimate, prices are good and the food is even better. Definitely recommend

Just wonderful Italian food! The antipasti platter is perfectly made for sharing and includes all Italian classics at a reasonable price. The pizza was made well with tasty ingredients. The staff is absolutely welcoming and attentive! We arrived after a long drive in the late evening around 2130h. The restaurant was even this late in December quite busy, which should be a really good sign!

Great pizza and Pesce! Mandatory Coperto (tip) for kid was unusual for me but service compensated the surprise. Excellent!

amazing food and service. The gentlemen from Venezuela who served us was absolutely lovely and truly caring. the place is so cozy for rainy days, it feels like you are in a pirate ship. Highly recommend !

Good food, well served ( good quantity) with a fair cost. We didn’t make a reservation ( August) and we just wait for few minutes ( 3 people). It was a pleasant dinner. Highly recommended.

Very tasty pizzas, one of the best. The atmosphere is cozy. Staff is very nice and kind, can make changes to the food.

Great place,food,personnel,decor and very nice , luxurious,home atmosphere!💓
