댄딜라이언 코모 스위트 & 파크

Spectacular old villa turned B&B. Soul of a country estate with fresh modern updates. Best gnocchi ever! Locally sourced food and drink specialties. Perfect venue for special event. Charming hosts, staff, bar & restaurant. Style & comfort ++++ I will be back to stay.

We just spent 3 lovely days at the Dandelion. The hotel is located in a small town Villa Guardia, only 15 minutes away from Como. The hotel is an old family farmhouse/residence that has been remodeled and provides severals spacious rooms, appartments and suites. We stayed at a Deluxe Villa, which was simple but beautifully decorated. The room is spacious with a Queen-size bed and a relatively large sofa (I think it can be converted into another bed). The bathroom with a rainfall shower is equipped with all relevant and necessary items. Overall, the building is beautiful and provides an oasis of tranquility and peace of mind - the park-like backyard invites to just sit in a lounger and to dose of in the sun. The true highlight of the hotel though is the culinary experience. Breakfast is served at the Arabella restaurant, where dinner is served as well. Every little detail was perfect. From cutlery to the china coffee set - one eats with style. Luckily, the breakfast buffet refrains from offering a lot, but high qualitative and local products. The different coffee types (from Espresso to Latte Machiato) were among the best we had in Italy so far. But the best was Eleonora, who made this is a very personal experience - thanks to her service and help with our baby girl we could relax and enjoy. The dinner experience is great likewise. A very nice and elaborate monthly menu plus a daily menu - everything we had was delicious, and reasonably priced. We will certainly be back as the other staff, Federica and Matteo welcomed us with a smile and were helpful anytime. The other staff, whose names I did not ask for, we very nice and supportive as well. We only hope that next time, the mattress will be less hard (for my wife who is quite small, this was not so comfy, but with the help of the staff we found a good solution). Another thing I was not too happy about was the strong price volatility. I understand that the demand often makes the price, but when I was booking I had observed a price difference of around 50 € up and down per day within a very short time. Finally, we love to travel to the Como area and believe of having found our "base to stay" in the Dandelion.
