Lake-view rooms in Laglio
The Junior Suite with Lake View is the pick of the three room types, pairing a queen bed with a sofa bed and facing the water. All rooms come with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with cable and satellite channels, a coffee machine and a private bathroom with bidet, slippers and hairdryer.
Spa and hot tub on site
The spa and wellness centre is unusual for a property this size, and it comes with a hot tub and a fitness room. It gives the place a second purpose beyond sleeping: guests can walk or cycle the lake road by day and book in for treatment time afterwards.
A village address, not a resort strip
Laglio is a small village on Lake Como's western shore, known more for stone houses and quiet waterfront than for nightlife. Staying here puts you on the lake road between Como and the central-lake towns, with the hotel's restaurant and bar covering evenings in.

Arriving in Laglio
La Locanda del Cantiere is 43.0 km from Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP), where the Malpensa Express train runs to Milano Cadorna and Centrale. The nearest intercity station is Como San Giovanni, about 10.2 km away. Italian cities charge a tourist tax (tassa di soggiorno) per person per night, collected by the property rather than included in the booking total; the rate depends on the city and the property's star rating, and many properties still take it in cash.
Across 515 reviews, guests rate the hotel 4.6/5. The themes that come through strongest are cleanliness, comfort and the free wifi, suggesting a property that is well maintained and reliably run rather than flashy. The breakfast also draws consistent positive mentions and is listed among the hotel's most popular features.
