The owners and employees are A+. Our 2-story, 1-bedroom apartment was clean and comfortable. (Bedroom and bathroom were downstairs.) Apartment, bed, linens and temperature were very comfortable. Couch and high-back chair seem old and could use an updating soon. Happy to have a kitchen and a kitchen table and chairs. We paid €12 for a small bottle of wine offered in the apartment. Nice breakfast included in our stay. We loved our time in Varenna and ferrying over to Bellagio. Thank you, Albergo Milano!!!

Ideal location for visiting other towns on the lake,...
Ideal location for visiting other towns on the lake, Bellagio, Menaggio & Tremenzenno all a short distance away.
Ferries are frequent & very punctual.
One hour train ride into Milan, not that frequent so check the times.

Don't miss Villa Monastero!
Don't miss Villa Monastero! Lovely gardens walking along the lakeside and tours inside were only offered on weekends. Check hours before going.
A few restaurants within walking distance of the ferry. Bar Moto has spectacular views from the water.

The views from Varenna are better than the more southerly locations. There are lovely walks and it’s easy to get to nearby towns. There are many eating places but not much opportunity to shop if self catering.

We knew we were going off season (the hotel has only opened the week we visited in the 2nd week of March) Varenna is a pretty village with breathtakingly beautiful views. But off season there was nowhere open to get a drink or food after 9pm!

Easy walk about town.
Easy walk about town. Wear good walking shoes steps are steep and not always a handrail. Beautiful gardens and scenery. Easy hop on a ferry to go to the other towns. Hike up to the castle is 30 min. I would have felt more comfortable with a walking stick. Make sure to have water.

Picturesque and just charming.
Picturesque and just charming. Loved the waterfront, walking on the bridge, flowers, vibe and restaurants on the water. Ferry efficient and pleasant, easy to access other towns.
Food superb at Nilas - great, friendly waitress - perfect spot on the lake.
Ensure you have plenty gelato. :)
The Margherita house had a great view of Lake Como and you can see Belaggio and Menaggio right from your window. The place was very clean and well kept. Just a 15 minute walk to Varenna restaurants and ferry. Great location!! Francesca was extremely helpful and picked us up from the train station. She gave us great recommendations and suggestions during our stay. It was our first visit to the area so her guidance was very much appreciated!! We also appreciated her checking in from time to time to make sure we were ok and comfortable.
We had a lovely stay at El Lavandee and really enjoyed the comfort of a larger space for our family of 5, the air con, washing machine and, especially the little private beach (through the tunnel under the road). The apartment was well equipped, clean and well styled.
It was 2km out of Varenna but there was a great multi story car park on the edge of Varenna which served us well.
Daniela and Marco were really helpful and we loved the boat hire they suggested - 3hours on Lake Como was a highlight!
Charming location with wonderful views of Lake Como. When I was told that the swimming pool was closed and challenged this on the basis that we chose this hotel because it had a swimming pool they obliged and immediately cleaned all the tables and opened up - commendable. Food delicious - best tiramisu we have ever tasted! Lovely breakfast room with great views. Welcome gift on arrival of Prosecco and strawberries in our Suite and gift of water and mints on departure - lovely touches.
The location: Villa Torretta is located in the heart of Varenna, a charming village on the shores of Lake Como. It is just a short walk from the village center, with its many restaurants, cafes, and shops. The villa also has stunning views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. The staff: The staff at Villa Torretta is friendly and attentive. They are always happy to help you with anything you need, and they go out of their way to make sure that your stay is enjoyable.
The Casa Mary window views looking north and south along Lake Como were fantastic. The location a block from the ferry dock in Varenna was so convenient. You could hop on a ferry and have lunch in Menaggio or Bellagio then return to Varenna before dark. The apartment was very cozy and clean. We were able to cook pasta and play Cascadia while drinking wine and enjoying the endless views.
We fall in love with this cute house near to Lake Como. It's a charming place with green door, huge bed and large terrace, where you can eat your breakfast with beautiful view. Also, we recommend the whole Varenna city, which is one of the prettiest towns on the lake. Contact with the host was very good, it turned out to be helpful. Grazie!
Varenna is an very good choice for a base to explore the Lake Como area and the Hotel Olivedo is an ideal place to stay. Location is fantastic, a 5 minute walk from the train station and just across from the ferries. Our lake view room was spacious and had plenty of sunlight. A good breakfast with pleasant helpful staff. Highly recommend.
Modern and clean. Amazing views of Lake Como from the terrace. The host, Viviana, is very welcoming.
30 minute hike to town which we came to enjoy.
There are many trails to do this. Especially liked the one past the cemetery.
The shower feels so good after a long day of hiking.
Take the ferry to Bellagio and have lunch.
The location was excellent because we needed to be close to the Hotel Cipriessi because my daughter was holding her wedding there, and then being so close to the centre of Varenna was a bonus. We walked in the hills, found some excellent restaurants, caught the boats to other villages and had a wonderful time.
Breakfast was enough to get you started for the day. The views were amazing which added to the whole experience of Lake Como and Varenna. The location was away from the main crowds but still had a lot of atmosphere with the buildings and facilities around. The lake view suite was ideal.
Very nice place to stay in Varenna ! Definitely not a 1-star hotel, more like 3 stars. 5 mins walking from the train station and with large balcony and great view towards the lake. The room was super clean and with a pleasant smell. Friendly staff. Would love to come back!
Perfect location, large and comfortable room and good breakfast. The ferry station was a short walk away. The restaurant downstairs was always busy, and although we didn't eat there the food looked great. Perfect hotel for our time in Varenna
We loved the location, it was close to all the amenities we needed. We were really happy with our choice of staying in Varenna and just visiting Bellagio instead of staying. Varenna and del duca was peaceful and beautiful!
Amazing breakfast and super friendly staff.
Easy to get from Milano Central station by train (+-1 hour drive) and the hotel is 10 minutes away on foot from Varenna train station.
Easy to access walking trails.
The hotel is small but very nice. The location is excellent, in the center of Varenna, near the lake. Rooms are extremly clean.
The hotel owner - Diana - is just an amazing person.

Beautiful area of Varenna. Near restaurants, walking paths, villas with gardens and views of Lake Como. Good breakfast, friendly staff, especially the lady who served us breakfast.
A nice size apartment overlooking Lake Como. This place is in the center of the small town of Varenna. The owners were very nice, we were even picked-up at the train station.
Beautiful studio apartment located close to restaurants and wonderful Lake Como. Very comfortable bed and nice little table and chairs for two outside with the lake view.
This lovely boutique hotel is wonderful. Breakfast is delicious. The staff great and the rooms are comfortable with a lovely view. We hope to visit again.
