Everything was amazing. One of the best hotels I’ve been in. The location was amazing too! We went during spring time but the room was very well heated.

The location, the helpfulness of Irena on reception, the size of the room and the free shuttle to the station. The breakfast was impressive but see below (in section - what didn’t you like about the property)

Super close to the train station. Literally next to the exit with just 1 min walk. It’s also a close walking distance to the pier to hop on the boat to other islands.
The place is very nice, cozy and modern. Well cleaned. Sofa bed is very comfortable and big unlike other places. There’s snack (biscuits, macaron), tea and water to welcome us. There’s a microwave in the kitchen with all the kitchenware. Bathroom is well equipped with amenities. Water pressure is strong. The owner is also super nice and helpful. He stood in front of the place to make sure we find the place. When we msg him to ask something at night, he offered to come by to help and we’re very glad.

Elisa is extremely kind to relocate us to another of her room right at the centre of Varenna as there was vacancy and the view of lake como from the balcony and rooftop was stunning! It was a perfect stay with free toiletries, hairdryer etc. and great breakfast! (honestly rare to see free breakfast provided so definitely a plus point)

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. :)

Loved Varenna. So beautiful, straight out of a movie scene.
Loved Varenna. So beautiful, straight out of a movie scene. Do a wine tasting, there are many options there. There is a lot of uneven cobblestones and a million stone stairs. Have sturdy shoes with grip. You walk everywhere. I wouldn’t recommend for someone who is unsteady, walks with a cane, has bad knees. I saw people with baby strollers, but I wouldn’t recommend it, seemed awful with all of the stairs. Not a kid friendly location. Food was fantastic…eat all the bread, it’s not like in the US. Take a cooking class. Take the ferry to Bellano and visit Orrido di Bellano. Next time, I would not bother with Bellagio visit. I would’ve liked the boat ride on the lake and botanical gardens…next time.
Amazing hotel & thank you once again for another amazing stay. We have been coming to Varenna for many years & this is the only place we will stay.
Barbara is so lovely & welcoming & the hotel is so unbelievably clean. All the staff are so friendly & the café is lovely also, with great coffee & a great selection of pasties.
Walking distance from the train station, approximately 1 minute.
A little gem of a hotel on Lake Como, our favourite place.
Location Location Location!! The location of this hotel makes it ideal to explore Lake Como. It is located right in front of water taxi/ferry, which can be taken to visit other towns on Lake Como. It is only a 10 min walk to train station. Our room was spacious, clean and had a magnificent view of the grand lake. Breakfast was delicious and staff was outstanding. The town of Verenna is lovely with lots of restaurants.
The property is in a prime location - 7 minutes walk from the Varenna Esimo train station and 3 minutes walk to the ferry. It is a lovely apartment, very clean and tidy, with lake view in the guest bedroom (the one with 2 single beds) and kitchen, and Mountain View in the master bedroom and living room. The host was very responsive to our questions before and during the stay. I highly recommend it to travelers to Lake Como!
Where do I begin? Everything from the booking, to the reception to the room and service was impeccable. Diana is a fantastic hostess who cares for the guests and really makes sure everything is kept clean, tidy and fresh. The room was newly renovated, with a bathroom worthy of a five star hotel. All in all it was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend casa contrada bella for anyone visiting varenna!
Everything. The location. The views of Lake Como, with a private balcony, were unparralled. The included breakfast was fantastic. It is a 5 min walk to the ferry, a 2 min walk to the main area by the water with bars, has it's on restaurant and bar. The staff, particularly Tatiana, was fantastic. Some of the most helpful, warm, friendly, people I've ever met. they also have their own parking lot.
B&B Villa Varenna is a particularly charming hotel run by the very welcoming, friendly and kind Mauro. Our room was clean and comfortable with a wonderful lake view. A generous and enjoyable breakfast is provided on the lovely terrace each morning. The location is excellent with easy access to restaurants, cafes, excellent walks, trains and ferries. Our 4 night stay was a highlight of our holiday.
The whole experience of staying at Casa Pergola was fantastic starting from the moment we were greeted at the railway station by Alberto.
The location of Casa Pergola is perfect. Varenna is a beautiful place to stay. Alberto provided us with places to eat, visit and explore. We recommend this property to anyone who is looking to visit and stay at this location on Lake Como.
Staying with Renata and Antonio was like staying with Nonna and Nonno. They were charming and friendly. They take pride in being good hosts. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was tasty. The location was ideal for exploring Varenna, and easy access to the ferries for seeing the rest of Lake Como.
The location was really great, we stayed in the partial view room and the view was perfect. Hotel staff were very polite, helpful and friendly. When I come to Varenna again, I will stay here again. It was wonderful to walk among the colorful houses in the small streets.
Small family run hotel in great location. The room was nice and very clean, the beds were comfortable and the staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was not huge, but everything we wanted was there. We will happily stay here again next time we’re in Varenna.
Very picturesque location looking out over Lake Como. Great walking path into the centre of Varenna, which took about 40 minutes. Lucca was very helpful at check-in, and there was free parking right outside the apartment. It was very quiet and peaceful!
The terrace, the breakfast and the 6 star hotel level of service makes this hotel to one of the best experiences you can get. Varenn a is the most beautiful city around lake Como and this hotel makes the stay even more worth while
Exceptional location with roof top views that were breathtaking. Our hostess Eliza was fantastic and was most informative about the area, and extremely helpful. We would highly recommend Varenna as the place to stay in Lake Como.
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!
We liked absolutely everything - from location, authentic vibes, amenities to very friendly, caring staff and very delicious home made breakfast. This stay at hotel Olivedo made our trip much more exciting and pleasant.
It was a beautiful and charming property with terraces that overlooked Lake Como. Mauro was an incredible host who did it all to make his guests happy. It was a short walk to center of town and the ferry dock.
Beautiful views and a very friendly host! The town of Varenna was lovely and I really enjoyed my stay. Perfect for a group of 4. Very clean and nice with a beautiful view of Lake Como.
The location was absolutely amazing. Varenna was a great town to stay in while at lake como and the view from the apartment was lovely. The hosts were very helpful and efficient too!
