Breakfast was great:) Secluded and beautiful. Very old I think. On weekends you can go there by mini bus, but on weekdays you have to use your feet:)
Downwards is easier but upwards is tough.

My partner and I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in March 2024. It was a splendid stay! The views over the Lake from the breakfast and dining room table was amazing. The hotel is located at the top of the funicular, just a few minutes walk from the station and there are several food places nearby. The breakfast was really nice with bread, yogurt, cheese, fruit and eggs plus orange juice, water and a choice of hot beverage. The decoration of the hotel interior displays some eye-catching antiques, the rooms were clean had an old-fashioned vibe and there is an incredible spa room with a jacuzzi, sauna and breathtaking view overview of the Lake on the top floor which can be hired out - if you are a couple visiting, I would highly suggest doing this option during your stay. The hotel and its family staff, were very accommodating and courteous to us throughout. On check out, which was very early in the morning, they left us out a breakfast to takeaway for our journey home. We would recommend a stay here, particularly for couples, for a future trip to Como

The view from the hotel is fantastic. Surrounded by greenery. Room is big. Friendly, helpful owner/family. Dinner is yummy!! Will come back again when I need a good rest.

New ownership and we experienced a warm, welcoming and service-minded staff.
When we checked out we got a bottle of Prosecco from the owner. The owner is very positive and friendly. We felt very valued and taken care of.

Our room was clean and it had new bathroom that was just renovated. It is great value for the price we paid as other options in the area were a lot more expensive.

We had the privilege of spending 4 nights in this incredible guest house. The location is perfect for escaping the crowds and a close 15min walk to the funicular with takes you down to Como (if you don’t have a car). Thank you to Massimo for the pick up and drop off during our stay.
The accommodation is incredibly comfortable and beautifully designed. The pool and expansive garden was a highlight too. Waking up being surrounded by perfectly manicured gardens and the sounds of birds chirping really gave this stay a relaxing feel.
The breakfast is also delicious, with a selection of fruit, cheese, cakes, croissants, fresh coffee and the option to have eggs your way. So so good!
Lastly, thank you to all the staff at Rubini who were welcoming and accommodating to all our requests which included dinner reservations, arrangement of a massage in our room and helpful recommendations.

Brunate is a great way to stay above Como and more suitable for families or couples that seek peace and tranquility.
There is a cafe surving drinks and snacks with a FAB view point
Walk to the lighthouse
FAB views of Lake Como!
Funicolcare is great fun
I went on the ferry to Villa Carlotta I left Brunate at 8.30am and took the Ferry at 10am.
It is 2 hours to Villa Caroltta on the lake but it is FAB with beautiful views.
There are various stops along the lake, Double check your return journey as I missed the boat back, There is a bus it takes about 45 minutes and get a ticket from the newsagent down the road for 5 euros, There is a stop by the ferry stop and one outside the newsagent.
With your back to the ferry stop you will see the Como bus Fermata across the road. And turn left from the ferry stop for the newsagent there are shops/cafe here too.
There are FAB resturants in Como. My husband enjoyed the one on the sea front near the ferry stop it served delicious sea food!

A small town overlooking Como's surroundings.
A small town overlooking Como's surroundings. A place to stay to enjoy the coolness of altitude during summer ! The quietness and seclusion, while never being far away from means of transportation (FUNICOLARE) and shops.

Nothing of interest here really.
Nothing of interest here really. Maybe the Volta lighthouse ? (Closed by the time we arrived, so couldn't really tell). Nice view over the lake (Villa d'Este a.o.) from up there. If you do want to come to Brunate, I strongly suggest you take the Funicular from Como for a short round trip. Coming here with a larger car is a bit of a nightmare, and spending the night here was a mistake, wish we'd stayed in Como.
The room had an amazing view over Como lake. Was very clean and lovely decorated. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The bathroom was well equipped.
The breakfast was delicious with home made products. The landlords are very friendly and helpful. Was a pleasure spending the weekend at the property.
The property is very easy reachable from the Como Lago train station with the funicular to Brunate (last departure during week is 22:30, during the weekend is 24) and then a small walk.
There is also parking space near the house.
We just came back from 3 night at Relais Villino Rubini, and hands down it is the bets hotel experience we've had. From the beautiful, detailed design, to the delicious breakfast to the linen bedsheets and the scenic garden, everything is meant to give you the feeling of a high class hospitalty. And of course, the wonderful Massimo who took care of us like family, with such attentiona and care. We highly recommend this stay, we fell in love with Brunate and already want to book again for next year :)
This spot is absolutely gorgeous. The rooms were lovely and well maintained. The view is stunning and the restaurant at the hotel was also great!
The best thing about our stay was the incredible staff and service. We were well looked after and they always made sure we were taken care of.
It is a bit of a walk going up and down to the funicular to get to Como but the hotel offers a paid shuttle service so it’s not a problem!
Amazing location just off the funicular from Como, a beautiful art deco villa with views down to the lake, an amazing dining room. Staff friendly and helpful, breakfasts good, dinners memorable. Attic rooms very spacious, with good beds and showers. Lovely to have Brunate to yourselves in the early morning and late evening, walk up to the Faro Volta for the views of the lake and mountains is essential.
The hotel is in Brunate half way down from the funiculier, in the woods.
I liked the stunning view to the lake (from outside the hotel because my room's view was to the stony hill opposite the lake).
The room was small but clean with wooden ceiling, wardrobe and a huge TV (only in Italian), clean bathroom.
I got tasty breakfast as well (self-service: bread, butter, prosciutto, cheese, yougurt, croisants).
The place is amazing. Up in the hills of Brunate you can leave your car and do everything using the feniculare at a walking distance. The place is quiet and the owner is really helpful. She shared tips about the region and served delicious breakfast (thank you for the clafouti). We will come back. Enjoy a visit of the well maintained gardens. Thank you for everything!
The host helped us by whatsapp with many suggestion and how to find the place, which is in brunate on top of a hill, with a view on the old city center. Very close to Como, it is also possible to reach the lake shore with a special train called "funicolare" which climbs straight up and down along the hill.
We liked the behaviour of the owner Rocco who got us a beautiful room with magnificent view of the Lake Como and Brunate. They serve good breakfast and fruits. The lady named Chiara helped us with a restaurant reservation on one of the day when the hotel kitchen was closed for that day. So helpful.
Easy and flexible access. Owner was helpful and available. Apartment was close to everything we needed in a quiet street. Nice view from balcony to the east. Adequately equipped for few day stays. We liked Brunate better than Como city. Nice surroundings and good starting point for hiking.
The best part of the stay was without a doubt the view, the hotel is located on top of a hill higher than clouds but the road up there from Como is half an hour of crazy turns where only one car can pass, so book only if you are up to that drive. The staff were quite nice.
The view from the hotel is amazing in its beauty. Getting to the hotel is challenging and you should pay attention to do it in daylight. The owners of the hotel are very nice and caring and made sure our stay was perfect. We enjoyed every moment. highly recommend
Great mountain views, wonderful host, clean, cosy, Italian style rooms. Nice breakfast in the morning and only a small walk away from Brunate village and the light house for incredible views of Lake como and on clear days as far as Milan sky scrappers.
The location was absolutely stunning with a very warm welcome from Ebe the host. We felt at home and Brunate being just outside of the main centre of Como give us the opportunity to experience a more relaxed and friendly pace of the town.
Perfect location for a visit to Como. Close enough with beautiful views from the hillside. The apartment was spacious and clean. The hostess communicated well and made sure that all questions were addressed.
Great service and great authentic Italian food. Best view of Como! Big lodge style room. Accommodation is perfect for the hikers and bikers who wants seclusion or privacy away from the city.
Very nice view, lake Como is below and you can see Alps up to Monte Rosa! The restaurant is right below, where we had lunch. Brunato and the funicular is 10 minutes walk.
