Altavilla

Lake Como & Around


Tucked in the hillside village of Bianzone, Altavilla is well worth the effort getting off the beaten path so you can dine at the excellent on-site restaurant. Rooms are cheerfully decorated with quilts, wrought-iron beds and quality furnishings. Overall, it's a great value, especially for balcony rooms with mountain views.

Half-board rates are also available.
