“Moments from Lake Como, this Inn has been run by the same family for over half a century, which explains the community feel. I appreciate that every room has a balcony overlooking the water and kayaks and paddleboards are available for launching right from the property. The historical ambiance makes it a restful alternative to more generic lodgings.”
