Lake Como is not designed to handle as many people that are there. It's packed, not peaceful and Italy has generally a very large population density so it's not a calm place. I found Italian men to be arrogant, rude and slightly racist. This property was not suitable for my needs, I paid for it and never used it and instead checked in to another hotel. The room was small, there a stale smell, the noise from the downstairs restaurant travelled upstairs and the male waiters were very rude to me... So I left, paid them and never used the accommodation. Shame because I think the 2 ladies there had a nice energy and they don't look happy stuck there with the some of the men they probably have to work with. The mountain roads are stressful to drive around with hair pin turns - however the location is excellent. All in all, I would never go back to Italy.
