A great hideaway in the hills above Lake Como. I had read it was difficult to find but there were plenty of signs if you watched out for them - possibly a bit tricky in the dark. Well worth the drive up into the hills - quiet, restful location with stunning views. Food a little pricey, but not outrageous and... More

I first visited Al Marnich in 2009 with my aunt and husband. It was lovely. Rustic and quiet. The food is really quite phenomenal. I highly recommend eating dinner here. One reason they offer dinner is that the road (as others have aptly put) off the beaten track and it would be quite a long journey to a restaurant and... More

I cant say anything about the hotel yet, becauce I had to cancel my booking. But I wanted you to know, that they made it possible to cancel even I was to late for a free cancelation by the conditions of hotel.de, where I booked it. While I read extremely good experience reports about the hotel I really pitty that... More

We very much wanted to write a positive review about this place as it really is fantastic. We know, however, that these things don't get done when one is back home. Hence, I'm writing this sitting at the dinner table, digesting yet another fabulous meal, looking forward to another 4 days and nights on Lake Como. We can highly recommend... More

Once we had negotiated the road to get to Al Marnich, it was certainly very worthwhile. This is a lovely rustic farm stay perched in the hills above Lake Como (there is no lake view though) with the sounds of church bells, roosters etc drifting through the valleys. The restaurant serves the most incredible home made, largely organic authentic Italian... More

Good luck if you find this place. I had serious reservations having booked it and never driven in Italy before whether I would find it off the 'beaten track' on a very minor country road. Well not to worry, the road was on my car's satnav, there are plenty of road signs for it and it is worth the drive... More

Highly recommended. Had a lovely stay due to warm and smiling host Emanuele. Excellent organic food and warm and cozy atmosphere. Lovely wine selection. Rooms cozy, clean. We stayed in room #8 with a very comfortable bed for hotel standards. Bathroom small, but clean and had room for a bidet. The shower had good power and no hot water issues.... More

This was our last stop on after a long road trip and it was the best way to recuperate and get away from the touristy scene before returning to our daily grind. The views were breathtaking! The crisp morning air and crowing roosters was a completely different and wonderful experience from anything else we had on our trip. The food... More

We liked the nice views, the quiet surrondings, and the good food, especially the dinners which are tasteful, and probably serving the best fresh pasta you'll ever taste. Breakfast is tasty with home-made jams, pie or cheese, but also a bit limited for our four day stay, they should bring some more variety. We think however that the rooms are... More
