Waking up each morning to the shimmering lake and surrounding mountains was truly unforgettable. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. The breakfast was also quite good, with a nice variety of options to start the day right. One thing to keep in mind: the hotel is located at the top of a mountain, which makes for the amazing views, but also means you’ll need to navigate a steep drive to get there. Avoid taking Valmara Road if possible—it's very steep, narrow, and quite challenging to drive, especially if you're not used to mountain roads. Overall, a fantastic stay with scenery and service that make the climb worth it—just plan your route carefully! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f7eb1760-7304-4eba-9115-e9438a469745-1758322648402.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3ce3f5dc-b3df-46a2-906b-7729de4d986c-1758322648237.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e0fdb5f9-6c3f-40b8-a3dd-5d78e1132841-1758322648460.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b3d2b578-d14b-4c96-8e9d-2f38ec15e939-1758322648252.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jalila Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shehdeh 19 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Every thing was excellent ##### Shehdeh Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hibo 3 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A Wonderful Stay on Elba Island We had a truly lovely stay on Elba Island.

The views are stunning and breakfast is great. We were worried that it will be hot at night with no AC. It is higher up aka cooler at nights anyways so had no issues there (they have strong fans anyways). Super friendly staff and amazing ambience. Rustic and unique - definitely returning! ##### Abhinav Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 29 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We had an amazing 6-day stay at Hotel Funicolare. The family suite provided to us was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The location is excellent — just a short drive to both Lake Como and Lugano. The views from our rooms were absolutely breathtaking. The staff was friendly, courteous, and always helpful. We also enjoyed the good breakfast each morning. We look forward to returning to this hotel in the near future. Sharing a photo of the beautiful view from each room! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2f460f72-23fb-43aa-bbf8-18c2ea0f4fe8-1751188193225.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ef5c5a11-d526-4180-8d62-a37afe116f0a-1751188193449.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/acb5d553-ef13-46c0-af17-dc1d6a7c279e-1751188193449.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fcc2920b-91d1-4a5d-ab21-b08acc241fbe-1751188192640.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### fouad 16 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent ##### fouad Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elisaveta 31 Jul 2025 . ##### Elisaveta Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tony 11 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The USP of this property is the amazing view down to Lago di Lugano across into Switzerland. There is also the interesting story about the old funicular railway to the rear of the hotel which closed in 1977 but may be refurbished and reinstated if funds can be secured. It is a rural location, about 20 mins walk from the nearby town of Lanzo d'Intelvi and the bus service from Como drops you about 400m from the hotel reception if you aren't driving. Rooms were not air conditioned but you do get a oscillating fan! Get a room with a view and you won't be disappointed ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e2555784-4fe1-4ef5-8f9c-1085422ba2ac-1754907067696.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b0a73c71-b70c-4578-921e-99c44aa710ef-1754907070304.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bcf997c1-d1b1-4260-a7a6-4c606056bc7a-1754907070082.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tony Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mirna 4 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Super ##### Mirna Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luke 21 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Unbelievable View! Amazing breakfast! Try finding a hotel with that view for that price anywhere in the world, the pictures just can't capture how amazing it is. Breakfast was the best I've had and worth £30+ but was included. Rooms were the cleanest by far I've stayed in and we are on a roadtrip around europe. The receptionist was very helpful and the owner went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. For the fact they have only just opened I'd get in while the prices are cheap as they will surely go up with popularity. Top recommendation from the owner, go and see the Balcony of Italy that is 15mins away WOW! ##### Luke Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sarah 19 Jun 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful view, but only in a few rooms. The hotel is really old and is in need of renovation. Our hotel room smelled of sewage, the air conditioning could not be switched on. When asked, we were told that this was stipulated by law. The dog cost an extra charge of €15 per night. Breakfast was ok but nothing special. ##### Sarah Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Victoria 18 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities When we arrived at the Hotel Funicolare we were greeted with a breathtaking view & this really is one of the hotel's best features. We were also pleasantly suprised to be given a family room (which we had booked) which was actually 2 rooms that were adjoining giving us lots of space, 2 bathrooms and 3 balconies. The rooms had, I believe, just been renovated and they were very charming and clean as were the stairs and entry area. There were a few niggles though. The lights in the hallway were on a sensor and timer and so if you were entering the hallway from your room, it was pitch black until you were within range of the sensor. Now for the worse bit, the restaurant! Breakfast was wonderful with amazing croissants and everything else was yummy! However, I was not impressed with the evening service. First of all, the pizza oven was not working for the 2 nights we were there which made up for 70% of the menu. When we requested one of the 6 other choices we were told that that wasn't available and the wine I wanted wasn't available either. What we did get that night was pretty good. The 2nd night (Wednesday) was so busy and they just couldn't cope, service was slow, there was no 'sorry', there were people walking away because pizza wasn't available. When my Spaghetti alle Vongole finally arrived it was nothing special and hardly had any sauce, I could have done better myself at home! Very disappointing and really put a dampner on what would've been an amazing stay! ##### Victoria Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Matthias 22 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Gute Option für einen kurzen Zwischenstopp mit schöner Aussicht.
