Casa Sull'Albero

자차가 없이 접근하기에는 조금 불편합니다. 외국인에게는 대중교통으로 접근하기에 조금 어려운듯합니다. 그 외에는 모든 면에서 훌륭합니다. 경관도 너무 좋았고 프론트데스크 직원들도 친절했습니다. 조식이 좋았고 조식을 서비스해주는 직원도 친절했습니다. 다음에 또 기회가 된다면 여기에서 묵으며 힐링하고 싶습니다.

Albergo incantato, tutto impeccabile, davvero difficile trovare qualcosa che non sia all’altezza. La colazione al mattino è la migliore mai trovata. Ci torneremo alla prima occasione

The hotel is a fantastic, and unique place to stay in Malgrate just across the lake from Lecco.  The room we had was very comfortable with a large bathroom and views of the trees and garden. The only thing we thought would improve it was more drawers for storage, which the hotel said they were going to look at. The lake can be accessed down steps through the  garden and sister hotel. This hotel also has a roof top bar, restaurants  and spa. It is a pleasant walk, but  not suitable for those of limited mobility. Casa sul Albero has a small pool, with some loungers and the honesty bar is very useful for access to coffees, drinks and snacks. The breakfast was lovely with lots of food options. All of the hotel staff were very helpful, and friendly, especially with advice on how to get to places around the lake. Malgrate has some lovely restaurants, a very short walk from the hotel, just on the lake front and there are other options in Lecco which is about 20 minutes’ walk away. The train station in Lecco gives options to travel along the lake to Varenna  which has a ferry station from which you can access destinations around the lake although the arrangements  at times were  disorganised at the ferry terminal so it paid to be flexible with plans. Varenna itself is a lovely town to explore.

I want to give you an overview in case you are looking at staying here. We came for a family wedding and stayed for a week. The property is a small boutique hotel associated with a larger full service hotel just down the hill. There is not staff onsite 24 hrs a day only from 7am to 11 pm. When you checkin take a picture of your room key card where they give you the wifi password and most importantly the CODE TO GET IN AFTER 11:00pm. The parent Hotel Promessi Sposi does have 24 hr staff if absolutely necessary. As stated Casa Sull' Albero is a small hotel (16 rooms I think). You get a hair dryer in the bathroom and carafe of water is replenished every day. There is only 1 iron for the whole hotel so I ironed all of our clothes for the week on day one so I wasn't scrambling on the day of the wedding. The rooms are small and sparse and beautiful. We had rooms 204 and 205. 205 is the best room in the hotel as it is bigger and has the best views. My kids were quite jealous. They will separate the king bed into two twins for your children for less squabbling but ask before you go because the cleaning staff are gone by 2:00pm and you will have to listen to your kids complain until the next day :) I will include a pic below from our room. The views are amazing. The bathroom is a wet room shower with a combination shampoo/conditioner and also body wash. Ladies, bring your own conditioner because no woman in the history of the world has been okay with a combination shampoo/conditioner, especially in the heat and humidity (you are on a lake after all) of an Italian summer. Casa Sull' Albero has a small pool and as it is July in Italy we were very grateful for it every day. They have an "honesty kitchen" where you can get soft drinks and juices and beer and wine and champagne and fruit and coffee. The price menu is there and it is very reasonable. Lovely to sit by the pool with a glass of Prosecco. No smoking inside but there are ashtrays outside in the huge garden overlooking the lake. I can't overstate the grandeur of the views. The private path to the parent Hotel Promessi Sposi is steep with gravel paths, steps, handrails and lights. It is not for unaccompanied children or the elderly or infirm. If you struggle with mobility you should stay in the Hotel Promessi Sposi instead. They have lovely terraced rooms to accommodate everyone. Like almost every town on Lake Como, Malgrate is built into the side of a cliff which makes it hard to get around if you struggle to walk for any reason. If this is the case, don't even think of going for a day trip to Varenna. Bellano, just one more stop on the train from Lecco, is much flatter, less touristy, has fantastic food and the gorges are stunning. Taxis in Malgrate and Lecco deserve their own mention. There are very few taxis and we had to walk from the train station in Lecco to the hotel after waiting an hour. Ask the front desk staff to book you transport well in advance. If you end up having to walk from Lecc

My family and I stayed at Casa Sull’Albero September 2024. It was an extremely wonderful experience extra unordinary staff pleasant , helpful and very nice.
