About Hotel Excelsior Splendide

In a prime position just off Bellagio's lakefront, Hotel Excelsior Splendide is good value for money in one of the most popular towns on Lake Como. It has a fantastic historical past which you can read all about in the hotel's lobby- it was once a favourite of the Italian Futurist F.T Marinetti, and its elegant décor really gives it that early 20th century charm. If you love the old-world Italian style, then this is the hotel for you.

The hotel has a lovely pool to cool off in after a day walking around Lake Como. We love relaxing by the poolside, when the sun's beating down and ordering a cold drink- this is what summer holidays are made for! When your sweet tooth is wreaking havoc, the hotel has its own gelateria so you’ll have a constant supply of ice-cream (payable locally); just what you need on a hot summer day. For dinner, there's a lakeside terrace restaurant which does classic wood-fired oven pizzas, which you can enjoy whilst looking over the water and watching ferries drift in and out of the port.

  • Small outdoor pool (normally open from mid-May to mid-September)
  • Pool towels (€5 per towel, payable locally)
  • Garden with sun loungers
  • Free Wi-Fi
  • Parking (payable locally)

The hotel sits next to Bellagio’s promenade so the location couldn’t be any better. You’ll be surrounded by the town's boutique shops and charming little cafés, which we love dipping in and out of when exploring the town. The ferry point's also just a short walk away, so you're well placed to explore other towns on the lake; why not hop on a ferry across the lake to Menaggio- a fantastic starting point for walking.

A breakfast buffet is available each morning with a selection of pastries, cold meats, cheeses, bread and fresh fruit and juices. Some hot options are also available, including bacon and scrambled eggs. 

La Terrazza Restaurant has a fantastic setting on the lake and offers regional dishes as well as a decent wine list. If you decide to have lunch here you may be able to get a table right on the lake (payable locally).

The Lounge Bar & Pizzeria is a relaxing space where you can enjoy some delicious cocktails, drinks, snacks and pizzas. At the weekends there's often live music (June onwards). The bar is open from 9am to 11pm (payable locally).

Discover Bellagio

  • Enjoy a sunset aperitivo in a lakeside bar
  • Walk through a network of historic cobbled streets
  • Take the ferry to explore other towns on the lake; from Varenna to Menaggio

With its spot on a panoramic peninsula hugged by the two arms of Lake Como, Bellagio's one of the prettiest towns on the lake- and everyone knows it. Celtics, Romans, Greeks, Lombards and Saxons have all wrestled over its enviable position. Even Virgil waxed lyrical about Bellagio back in the day, along with a host of Romantic artists who made the villas and gardens here their summer retreats. Summer walking holidays in Bellagio follow in the footsteps of the Romantics, taking the time to soak up sublime views, stories and scenic paths both in town and the surrounding villages.
