One of the best hotels in Italy!
The owners of the hotel were extremely nice and accommodating to my daughter who was having trouble walking due to a bug bite that had swollen up her whole leg. The restaurant had delicious and fresh food, and the cook was also so kind.

Wonderful simple Italian inn high above Lake Como
It was the second time I have stayed at this hotel. I loved it seven years ago and it was equally good this time round. Locanda Milano 1872 is a three star family run in perched high on the hillside above Brunate. The family that run it are extremely friendly and the food is good and the bar buzzing with locals every night. The accommodation is simple but comfortable and the breakfast very good with fresh fruit, breads, meats and cheese and excellent coffee. If you are looking for somewhere flash or ultra comfortable, you would probably be better off in one of the lakeside 5 star establishments. However for me, the charms of Brunate and the welcome at this stunning little inn are more than any 5 star lakeside hotel can offer. I like to drive up the winding road to Brunate and then leave the car at the hotel and travel to Como by funicular and use the ferries to get around the lake.

Old building but look beyond for Italian soul
An excellent stay! The service was top notch. The restaurant was very good too - with a very good wine list (I recommend the San Felice). There is parking which is quite handy, and the drive up is definitely an adventure. A very short walk to the funicular and some great views of Como. The building itself is old, there is no getting around that - but the room was absolutely spotless. Their cleaner deserves a raise. Seems to be a local haunt and the bar downstairs can get quite lively - will definitely stay here again

Relaxing stay in Brunate
Nice, family run hotel and restaurant. Fantastic breakfast that offers something for everyone. Staying in Brunate was very relaxing and puts you close by to an area for trekking above Lake Como. Would stay there again or recommend it to others.

Hotter than hades!
The setting is great as you are up on the mountain top and the staff were friendly and largely helpful. I would not recommend staying on the family rooms, except in the winter as the hot water pipes for the kitchen/hotel run right in the floor. It wouldn't be bad in the winter to keep you warm, but on the 80-90 degree days we had it was unbearably hot. The room came with a small fan, but I had to keep putting cold towels on me during the night. I asked if they could turn off the heat, but they explained about the pipes and offered a second larger fan. I took that but it was still sweltering in there. The room only had one window and it was at street level and there was no air flow. I really wanted to like this place but additionally, the shower head leaked and sprayed water all over the bathroom which I remedied by wrapping a bidet towel around the shower head. While my wife's mattress was good, mine and both the two for our kids on the wobbly bunk beds, had more than exceeded their lifespan and were lumpy or thin. Also as a note to those staying on the hill, the fenicular while close by is not necessarily a cheap endeavor - plan for one trip up and down to cost around 14 euro.

Good for a short stay
Very basic room, but clean and good enough for one night. From Brunate you have a beautiful view over Como, and the funicular is just a 3 mins walk away from the hotel, so it's very convenient. Breakfast was good. If you have a small car, you can park right in front of the hotel, you just have to leave your keys, as they have to move around the cars since the space is not very big.

Another Hidden Jewel
The original hotel we were going to stay at was unacceptable, so we went to Hotels.com and booked this one, thinking it was close to Lake Como, and close to the city center within walking distance of restaurants and sights. When we began to make a steep climb up a mountain, we thought that our gps was on the blink. Once we got to the hotel and realized it was truly the one we booked, we were not less than delighted at the wonderful surprises that this hotel offered. Not only were the proprietor and staff wonderful, this boutique hotel was literally close to the top of the mountain, overlooking Lake Como. The view was wonderful and after we checked in, we took a walk even further up the mountain. It was stunning. We had a drink in the bar with the locals, and ate in the restaurant, which was wonderful. Breakfast was included the next day, and it offered a wide variety of items. Would definitely recommend to anyone going to that area.

Exceeded expectations and very pleasantly quaint
With a need to stay near the Swiss boarder and Como on business I had a quick search for a functional hotel. I had no idea the hotel was perched three quarters of the way up a mountain, overlooking Como, but was smiling all the way to the hotel. The location is very accessible to Como and absolutely idyllic. The hotel is a small privately run affair with a busy bar. My room was clean, comfortable and had doors opening on to a small veranda. The staff were very friendly and excused my poor Italian. Breakfast was excellent. I would certainly stay there again and would have to hesitation recommending the hotel at €50 a night.

Not for the faint of heart...
If you've got a carryon and some funicular money this is great little way to spice up your vaction...spend a couple of nights and unwind against the best view of Milianese smog you'll ever see. Old fashioned...no AC, loud old men in the parlor drinking all evening. I call those "pluses" but don't try this for a stopover. --And, by all means, don't drive!! Unless you're really comfortable with unmarked streets, hairpin turns on 20deg climbs and motos up your butt all the way up!

WE ENJOYED THE STAFF. THEY WERE VERY HELPFUL. THE ROOM WAS BADLY IN NEED OF A PAINT JOB (VERY TIRED FOR THIS PRICE) AND THE HALL CARPETS ARE CURLING UP AND ARE A HAZARD WHEN LEAVING THE ROOM. BUT OVERALL, OUR STAY WAS VERY PLEASANT. WE ALSO LIKED BEING UP ON THE MOUNTAIN, AWAY FROM ALL THE NOISE AND BUSINESS OF COMO. IT WAS SO EASY TO JUST TAKE THE FUNICULAR UP AND DOWN FOR DINNERS OUT OR CONNECTIONS TO THE FERRIES.

Lake Como with a view
The Hotel staff are very helpful and friendly. All in all we had a great time. The main problem with the hotel is that it's on top of a mountain overlooking Como. This means if you don't want a precarious drive ,it is only access able via a mountain lift service at 5 euros each return per person ( this gets very expensive over a weeks stay) The rooms are small with no air con. Staff are brilliant friendly and very helpful.

Hilltop sanctuary
This hotel is located up the hill from Como. It is a steep drive up, but once you get there you can just leave your car because the hotel is so close to the fanicular that goes down the hill into town. The view from up the hill is just spectacular. You can see down into Lake Como and the white cap mountains in the distance. Room was small but clean. Staff was nice.

Absolute gem above Como
As long as you don't mind either the windy drive up or taking the funicular up the hill, this hotel is perfect. We stayed in the summer and it not only was it cooler up there on the hill but there were hardly any bugs compared to being swarmed down in Como. Massimo, the manager, went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and was there whenever we had a question. Located less than a 5 min walk to the funicular, it was perfectly situated in quiet Brunate. Both my wife and I thought it was much better to stay there than in Como.

Hotel found wanting more!
The staff where pleasant and the area was nice. Parking was available but cars needed to be moved around in order to get your car our. concidering your on a mountain, this is to be expected. Our room was the smallest in the hotel and was not that comfortable for a week long stay, might be ok for overnight.
