My wife and I travelled extensively whilst living in Europe but there is one place that still leaves us pining for more – Al Marnich! We stayed there over Christmas one year and it wasn’t just the fireplace that warmed our hearts. This place is truly magical! Perched high above sea level you are guaranteed of white Christmas.

This review is after our second visit to Al Marnich. The first was a few years ago and happened to be our first time at an agriturismo. The drive up the mountain winding around roads with great views of Lake Como is an experience in and of it's self. Just put in the coordinates from their website into your GPS... More

This little farm house tucked way in the mountain side is an absolute gem. It may be a little hard to find, but, once you get there, wow is it worth the effort. It's simple basic pleasures, no tv and no phones, a beatiful getaway from it all in stunning surroundings.They make their own salami and bread which is also... More

We have just had 6 nights in this place and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The room was very rustic and basic but perfectly adequate. We were plenty warm enough despite outside temperatures being around freezing. The bed was comfy and warm and the shower wonderful. Breakfast was fine, lots of choice, all homemade and kept us going most of the day.... More

What a find is the Al-Marnich, once you find it. The hotel is located in the hills surrounding Lake Como it is certainly worth the drive. We kept thinking we were lost so made several calls to the owner who very patiently continued to give us directions until we made. We arrived about 9pm but that didn't bother the owner... More

We have just returned from 4 nights staying in Al-Marnich. We had a great stay, the food choice on our first day was a bit uninspiring but we tried it again on the 3rd and 4th night and are very glad we did, as it was fantastic. All the staff were friendly and as helpful as they possibly could be.... More

The 'hotel' as I would call it is very remote. But there is enough space to parc your car in a 'guarded' environment. You need to pass the gate first to get in. The hotel is very lovely and each of the rooms are located in a sort of separated small house. The room itself wasn't that big, only a... More

I can't believe my luck! I booked my 2 night stay, on spec, the night before I arrived. This is an excellent agriturismo ( I have experienced many) with clean, comfortable, no frills rooms (no tv, no wifi, no mini bar etc) and farm-produced food of the highest order - fresh goats' milk cheese, and yogurt from the animals outside...
