We loved our stay at the Hotel Du Lac and would absolutely stay here again! The staff was very kind and competent, and the concierge services in particular were fantastic--they were able to book in-demand dinner reservations for us that I hadn't been able to make on my own (and during quite a busy time of the season)! They were very accommodating and gave us great recommendations for restaurants and transit as well. The hotel is beautiful and right on the water, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the bathrooms were updated and well-kept. We loved taking breakfast on the terrace overlooking the water (the buffet was actually quite good and had lots of options), and the hotel bar had a great view as well. We also loved the hotel restaurant on the ground floor patio--we never ate a full meal there, but we often got drinks and snacks and sat watching the ferries come in and out. (Did I mention that the hotel is steps away from the ferry station? Incredibly convenient!) The ground floor terrace in particular seemed very popular; it was always lively and the waitstaff were friendly and attentive. On one evening they hosted "Negroni Night," with a special menu of drinks and bites paying homage to the Negroni, complete with live music--it was so much fun! We also loved relaxing after a day of activities in the spa, which is open to all guests for no extra charge (sauna, steam room, and whirlpool). They say you have to make a reservation, but in practice this just means dropping by the reception desk and letting them know what time you want to go. They deliver robes, sandals, and towels to your room ahead of your time slot, and there were hardly ever other guests there at the same time as us. I'm very glad we decided to stay in Bellagio: it's absolutely beautiful and full of good restaurants, and if you want to visit any other towns on the lake, it's very easy to go by ferry or even bus (although the ferries between Bellagio and Como book out very quickly during the high season). On the day of our arrival in Como, the ferries to Bellagio were already sold out but the hotel reception advised us to take the C30 bus, which ended up being very doable (they run hourly and you can use Apple Pay to board, it was 4 euro or so). It's a little over an hour's ride and drops you off about 5 mins walk from the hotel, and if I could do it over I would have skipped trying for the ferry entirely and gone straight for the bus. Overall, I highly recommend! I think staying here elevated our trip to Lake Como from amazing to unforgettable, and all things considered, you get a lot of value for your money at this hotel.
