Albergo Villa Edy

Villa Edy is an extremely comfortable, well situated, traditional hotel where you will be welcomed by friendly staff into a clean, functional room with amazing views of Lake Como (if you book a Lake view), a very welcome, and well maintained, pool, and a well stocked bar. Walking distance to Villa Carlotta and the Navigazione pier in Tremezzo (with a relatively steep climb back to the hotel if you are so inclined) you can reach the main sights, including Bellagio, from the hotel without needing your car. Breakfast is straightforward and perfectly reasonable with a range of meats. cheese, cereal and bread, whilst the dinner menu is a little limited; but bars and restaurants are plentiful in Tremezzo, and you can enjoy the walk back to the hotel along the shore of Lake Como. Hotel Villa Edy isn’t luxurious, but neither is it ‘humble’ as a previous review described it. I sense a real desire to do what they do well and they succeed. Pick this hotel for its pretty unique balance of price, location and quality. Enjoy the pool. Enjoy the views. Enjoy the bar. And enjoy the walks to Tremezzo through steep, narrow, winding streets and along the shoreline (taking the route through the park and avoiding the road, at least for some of it).

The facilities are being very well kept, spacious rooms and parking area. Most members of staff were fantastic, very responsive, always with a smile in their face. They did not charge 16 eur for what was a very poor meal, meant to be regional and, in Italy, fresh. Breakfast had a reasonable choice considering the size of the hotel, bread was soft/long life but seemed fresh. The eating area was pleasant. Disliked · One member of staff/owner decided to talk in Italian in my presence about me to the other staff. I think this was very discourteous, even rude. The point she was making is about the fact the hotel had to admit they do serve meals but the food is not freshly prepared. Essentially having a mixed chicken nuggets type of milanese cottoletta with some rewarmed chips - I had asked and been told were cooked "in the oven" (perhaps microwave oven?)... While counting the cash they had in the till, the lady was arguing with the other manager that the hotel should decide to charge the 16 eur for that rewarmed meal.
