Excellent food, great staff, spectacular location

Stayed in March 2024

No complaints

Having a restaurant on site is a major plus (and the food, breakfast & dinner, was excellent), as Sensole is quiet small, so there are not a lot of restaurants in the area.

The rooms were a little basic and the bathroom wasn’t really updated.

It was really nicely updated and had sweet little touches like cookies on arrival and welcome cards. The bed was also comfortable and the restaurant/bar downstairs was great. The staff were really lovely too. Located in a nice quiet area on the island.

It was incredibly hot when we stayed and the building aircon struggled, our room was above the kitchen so it was hard to open windows without noise & delicious smells, but the team went out of their way to provide an additional aircon unit which we really appreciated.

A little slice of heaven, the food and drink are insanely good and you can tell the staff are passionate about their creations. The location is a perfect escape from the crowds. Being on a tiny island with no cars is very exciting to Londoners. Service is exceptional, all the staff were friendly and incredibly hard working.

Breakfast was awesome. Perfect location by the lake and a lovely little private beach.

Great calm location

Nothing. Maybe a few shelves/drawers in the room/bathroom to place things would be advisable

All good, amazing location and staff are all very attentive. Rooms and all the building are very clean, service was great, we felt very well looked after. The food is extremely good at the bistrot, both at breakfast and at lunch/dinner where locals also seem to go. The reserved garden spot by the lake is a very nice treat also.

We had an awesome stay at this lovely property. Our room was the best we experienced in our 5 weeks touring northern Italy with a stunning view over the lake. The food was really good with breakfast having a wide choice of both hot and cold options, with dinner providing great a la carte options. Our host and his staff were helpful and very friendly and I highly recommend this property.

There is air conditioning, but it needs a tweak to get it a bit cooler. Easily solved I am sure. No lift , but staff helped so kindly with our luggage and it was good exercise.

Beautiful location! Staff were so friendly and helpful. Close to the boat docking station. Cute relaxing area by the lake. I loved the hammock! convenient restaurant ( rated 1 on the island!). Excellent breakfast choice, that is served. Wonderful roof terrace. Already planning to return.

Amazing hotel, the nicest staff you will ever get to deal with, and a super tasty breakfast on the roof terrace with an incredible view of the lake. We absolutely loved it!

Nothing all good 😊

The owner was very present and attentive! He must have chosen all his staff carefully as they were all lovely. The hotel decoration was so beautiful, everything was very clean. The location of the hotel was simply beautiful. Oh I must mention the food - again amazing. A little bit if paradise!!

A slightly cramped shower.

Nice location in small village. Great staff leaded by Giovanni. Rooftop terrace excellent for workrelated discussions. Local food and good selection of Franciacorta.

Both my partner and I were very impressed with the breakfast. Everything was made with quality product and tasted great. The bed was extremely comfortable. The hosts very nice and helpful with us. And the location perfect. We were surprised in a good way and highly recommend.

It is really nice family hotel with beautiful view and delicious restaurant. Thank you Giovanni for the hospitality

With the location of our room we got some of the smells of the kitchen so that one had to close the windows and turn on the air-conditioner.

The hotel is styled with great taste! Great location with a nice roof-top and a nearby access to the water. Drinks and food can be recommended, other good restaurants are nearby.

The location is isolated from the main tourist areas by a long walk and from other towns by the hill, so it's important to obtain a ferry pass to go anywhere else on the island OR to rent a bicycle -- if you have strong legs -- or a scooter. Be aware that there are 2 different ferry-boat landings in Sulzano and the boats from the landing closest to the ticket office will not stop at Sensole Locando! The hotel's shuttle service was not operating while we were there even tho it was indicated in our booking info. Also, not at all the hotel's fault but the long term / overnight parking in Sulzano is up the hill from the ferry landing, not the near-by lot mentioned in most tourist info.

Nicely modernized with contemporary artistic touches, rooms include desks and there's a comfortable seating area / lounge on the 3rd floor. Air conditioning was good and windows could be opened on cool nights. Beds were comfortable, and breakfast, served outside on their covered patio, included a nice choice of options. There's a bar, pizza & milkshakes available during the day, and a dinner menu with some interesting chef's creations.

Everything was perfect : the location, the staff (super nice and helpful), the private beach, the cocktails and food (mainly locally sourced). A little paradise for a reasonable rate.

Great localisation, staff is really nice, amazing breakfast bed very confortable, very good restaurant Sensole village is wonderful. We were there only for one night and we wish we could have stayed more time

It was unprecedentedly hot when we stayed and while rooms have AC, it was not cold enough. Kindly we were provided with a fan too which really helped. To be honest, As long as it isn’t 32 degrees outside at night again, it would be fine.

Such a gem! What a fantastic stay with our Golden Retriever Bertie at Sensole Locanda - with its dreamy location by Lago d’Iseo, spectacular rooftop terrace and the best cocktails we’ve ever had in Italy. It only opened in May 2022 and the Rooms are simple and minimalist, while the shared guest areas are stylishly decorated and the staff were incredibly friendly. Giovanni, the manager and owner, was a wonderful host and he has put together a great team for easily the most modern hotel we saw on the island of Monte Isola. The food was really excellent, so good we ate at the restaurant twice. Breakfast great too. Unquestionably the highlight was being able to sit with an Aperol Spritz on the grass ‘beach’ right by the lake and watch our dog Bertie have the time of his life swimming.

The warm walk gram the ferry to the hotel!

The staff was very kind and helpful. Everything was in walking distance. And the breakfast was really good, lots to choose from! The private beach has big pillows to relax. To top it of, a roof terrace with a grate view.

As the building is quite old (but renovated) , it is not so well soundproofed so that you can hear some noises from the hallways. Maybe better door insulation might fix this easily. Maybe as an idea : bike use directly for the guests to get around the island more easily.

To stay at Sensole Locanda contemporanea must feel like staying at Giovanni's house. Giovanni is the owner and he takes great care of his guests. Together with his staff they try to make all your wishes and requests possible so that you have a wonderful stay. The location on the island is very unique and the hotel has its own special charm. You feel that they are paying attention to detail. The food is created with much finesse and tastes great. They basically make everything themselve. Make sure to taste the chocolate crossaints. The private garden with direct lake access is indeed an escape from the ordinary.

I didn't like the fact we had to leave.

Absolutely fantastic stay, not only is the island beautiful but our stay was enhanced by this wonderful hotel, from the wonderful welcome when we arrived, friendliness and care of all the staff, great decor and rooms and great food. There was no vegan meal on the menu for my niece but the staff and kitchen went out of their way to supply a loverly vegan dish.

Stayed in June 2022

only thing was I could hear the noise from the kitchen and the staircase but maybe it was just my room

1. The staff is so friendly - Giovanni (the owner) is always there to help and the rest of the ppl were soooo nice. 2. the private beach is a dream - comes with cushions and it’s truly peaceful 3. the food was excellent 4. the decoration and the theme - you can tell it’s been done with love
