Locanda Sant'Anna

Firstly, the hotel is 3km from turning off the main road. We used satnav to find it, but the address indicated it was located closer than this - took us quite a while to find it! Small family run hotel, recently refurbished to a very good standard. Restaurant was lovely, particularly in the conservatory, but given the earlier reviews, we were disappointed with regard to the food. The starters were lovely, onion salad cake and pizzoccheri del locanda(buckwheat pasta). My husband's venison was good however my duck breast was very tough, but despite leaving some, and telling the the waiter, he apologised but nothing was done about it. The owner speaks no English, but the waiters who did and was very helpful in providing us with an adaptor for the new plugs(3-pin!). Extensive wine list with some eye-watering prices. We felt the meal was overpriced for what we had - 2 starters,2 main courses, a bottle of water and a "cheap" bottle of wine (less than 25€) came to 103€. We had many other good meals around the Italian lakes at a significantly lower cost.

A small family run hotel overlooking lake Como. Nicely remodeled old building, all modern fixtures. Short drive from the Swiss border (upon crossing which you would pay double for similar accommodations and triple for an espresso). Highly recommended.
