With magnificent mountains engulfing the luminous Lake Como. Where else could be more fabulous to admire this sensational scenery than a rooftop bar, restaurant or infinity pool. The only dilemma is deciding which or maybe it’s indulging in all three!

Rooftop review roundup: The staff, the food the views are all equally wonderful. It was made especially magical as I never thought in 2020 I’d get away, let alone somewhere so perfect. The photos say it all but I can’t fault it and how accommodating and kind everyone was. The food was fantastic, with quite the theatrics presenting it. I would come back in a heartbeat is the world wasn’t so big and so many rooftops to do! Though I did manage two lunches and a dinner so I did pretty well.

Rooftop review roundup: What a pool! It is smaller than it seems on the photos but no less fabulous. There’s plenty of space for that all important pool photos! Two things to note. One children are allowed as it’s a Hilton. It felt very much like an adult vibe so in height of summer I would struggle with the squeals! Equally I have lots of parent friends who would love the opportunity to have both their couple life and somewhere suitable for kids.
Secondly the sun bed space is limited. Thankfully there’s no rushing to get your towels out at stupid o’clock and leaving them there and then cheekily appear 5 hours later, no! This is a fair but tricky system. Doors open at 9am and I mean 9am, on the dot. The super bean tanners are there ready and waiting. There are approximately 12-15 loungers on the deck overlooking the pool – the prime spots. Then either side are a variety of sofas and deck chairs (also double up for the bar at night). All have umbrellas for shade – weirdly hardly anyone used them. Once assigned your spot on a first come first served basis then you can bask there till 6pm. There are buttons to call for Prosecco and pizza and no restrictions on numbers in the pool. If you want a pool day don’t have that lie in – you can sleep on your fabulously placed sun lounger instead!

Rooftop review roundup: A gorgeous little terrace with amazing views, friendly staff and great wine! It states that it’s for hotel guests but when we were there they said it opens in the evening for sunset drinks, music and welcome to all.
