Lake Como Peace Lodge - Casa della Pace

The Location of this hostel is stunning (besides the steps on the way up)! A short work from the town and ferry, we were very pleased! Room was very basic along with the shared bathroom, but couldn’t complain for the price. The staff were amazing, welcoming and caring! We spent a few evenings in the sister hostel round the corner, and the service was incredible! The staff chatted with us, and celebrated a birthday with us too. Would highly recommend this place if you’re okay with basic for a few days!

Spouse, I and 2 service dogs stayed here as our first hostel experience. Started out rocky bc we ended up in a room that was perhaps the smallest. On the good side, it had a lake view and dual aspect windows. However it was simply too small for us so we told Dalila that we'd have to shorten our stay to 2 nights and eat the loss if we couldn't move to a larger room. I believe the lodge was fairly well subscribed when we were there. Next morning, Dalila made some magic and moved us into a room which was larger than we needed...lost the lake view but it actually became quite a comfortable stay for us. When staying on Lk Como, you don't really spend alot of time in your room so we weren't looking for frills. But the room was clean, if outdated sheets, furnishings etc...but it IS a hostel not a hotel. Being clean was our priority so we stayed for our originally booked stay. We appreciated the flexibility and welcoming attitude of Dalila and others at the hostel. As FYI, the sister property down the hill Lk Como Hostel has a restaurant with good prices and good quality food. The only other thing to note is that the property is old and probably on an ancient sewage system. The ensuite bathroom smelled, but we figured out that after each use of the shower, you block the drain and the smell is pretty much gone. Pretty much, tutto bene.
