Sat nav took us through a very narrow but exciting route from the Swiss side but the majestic views of the lake were rewarding . It is an older hotel but rooms are spacious and clean. Very helpful and friendly staff,

A balcony with a view
It's really an experience to visit this hotel. Rooms and breakfast is as can be expected for the price range but the view from the balconies makes up for everything! would highly recommend to make a stop here - I will again in the future.

Charming hotel which has it's quirks but that's all part of the experience with fantastic staff who made us feel very welcome and satisfied.
The view was fabulous and the food was terrific and the staff were brilliant.
The road up to the hotel is not for the faint hearted (Strada da Valmara) so take their advice on how to reach the property if you are not very confident with mountain roads.

Super accommodating. We booked last minute because another hotel booking fell through & upon checking in we were upgraded to a lake view room. Mohammed at the restaurant was very good to us.

Unbelievable View! Amazing breakfast!
Try finding a hotel with that view for that price anywhere in the world, the pictures just can't capture how amazing it is.
Breakfast was the best I've had and worth £30+ but was included.
Rooms were the cleanest by far I've stayed in and we are on a roadtrip around europe.
The receptionist was very helpful and the owner went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. For the fact they have only just opened I'd get in while the prices are cheap as they will surely go up with popularity.
Top recommendation from the owner, go and see the Balcony of Italy that is 15mins away WOW!

When we arrived at the Hotel Funicolare we were greeted with a breathtaking view & this really is one of the hotel's best features. We were also pleasantly suprised to be given a family room (which we had booked) which was actually 2 rooms that were adjoining giving us lots of space, 2 bathrooms and 3 balconies. The rooms had, I believe, just been renovated and they were very charming and clean as were the stairs and entry area. There were a few niggles though. The lights in the hallway were on a sensor and timer and so if you were entering the hallway from your room, it was pitch black until you were within range of the sensor. Now for the worse bit, the restaurant! Breakfast was wonderful with amazing croissants and everything else was yummy! However, I was not impressed with the evening service. First of all, the pizza oven was not working for the 2 nights we were there which made up for 70% of the menu. When we requested one of the 6 other choices we were told that that wasn't available and the wine I wanted wasn't available either. What we did get that night was pretty good. The 2nd night (Wednesday) was so busy and they just couldn't cope, service was slow, there was no 'sorry', there were people walking away because pizza wasn't available. When my Spaghetti alle Vongole finally arrived it was nothing special and hardly had any sauce, I could have done better myself at home! Very disappointing and really put a dampner on what would've been an amazing stay!

Stabbo on tour.
Only a stop over on way to como but was very pleased with my choice as were our friends as I do all the hotel bookings for our rd trips. Only one issue no kettle in room and as I’m an early riser I do like a coffee or two to start my day apart from that no issues.

We had an amazing 6-day stay at Hotel Funicolare. The family suite provided to us was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The location is excellent — just a short drive to both Lake Como and Lugano. The views from our rooms were absolutely breathtaking. The staff was friendly, courteous, and always helpful. We also enjoyed the good breakfast each morning. We look forward to returning to this hotel in the near future. Sharing a photo of the beautiful view from each room!

A Wonderful Stay on Elba Island
We had a truly lovely stay on Elba Island. The accommodation was perfectly located—everything was within walking distance, including a stunning beach in the lower part of the area, where we spent many relaxing hours. The atmosphere overall was incredibly pleasant and welcoming.
We also really enjoyed the breakfast—it was delicious and served with a warm smile. There were some great little restaurants just around the corner, making evenings easy and enjoyable.
All in all, a fantastic experience. We would definitely come back!

Outstanding location
Outsanding and unique property. The views are stunning and breakfast is great. We were worried that it will be hot at night with no AC. It is higher up aka cooler at nights anyways so had no issues there (they have strong fans anyways). Super friendly staff and amazing ambience. Rustic and unique - definitely returning!
