    Just one small thing - tiny shower. But it was a minor issue since the bathroom was luxurious.

    Wonderful service, breakfast, lovely room.

    The breakfast choice was impressive. Now, whether this was because we went down to breakfast at 10am or not ….. the sausages,bacon, beans, mushrooms and hash brown were almost cold. Not what you’d expect from a 4 star hotel. The same for the coffee - tepid. Quite disappointing.

    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)

    Hard to sleep at night because we stayed just before the hotel turns on the AC (April 15). No air movement during the nights which made it very stuffy. They did bring us a fan but it was uncomfortable even so. For reference, another hotel turned our AC on for our room though they don’t for the whole hotel until later in April.

    It was the perfect location in the quiet town of Varenna. We loved our balcony view, the access to the botanical gardens and the incredible sunsets. The staff was exceptional. Marco helped us with a booking we made via another resource. For other travelers, please allow this hotel to manage your experiences! They have access to more at better pricing. We overpaid by not booking through the hotel.

    Only small issue for the town in general is that at weekends there tends to be a lot of day trippers but I can’t blame them as it is stunning there

    Beautiful location, wonderful Hotel but most of all excellent fantastic staff throughout from front desk, concierge to housekeepers , everyone had a smile and a welcome, thank you all for making our short stay just perfect

    Not much really- prices are pretty steep in the bar/ restaurant but you’re paying for the views!

    Just a brilliant hotel, great views, breakfast was fantastic, and the view was incredible. Rooms were great too! For a special occasion in the Italian alps this has to be right up there, Varenna is also a beautiful spot and really handy to the train station,

    Gorgeous hotel, gorgeous location, highly recommend.

    Our bathroom was about the smallest we have ever experienced, in any hotel around the world, no bigger than 1.80m x 1.40m in total, so it was a bit of a tight squeeze. Nevertheless we had a view of the lake and we would still highly recommend this hotel but next time we'd pay a little extra for a lake view, with a balcony.

    The location of the hotel is perfect, with a wonderful view over Lake Como. A short walk from the train station at Varenna, less than 10 minutes, as well as being only a 5 minute walk from the ferry. Plenty of bars and restaurants within a few hundred yards of the hotel. Very helpful and friendly team looking after us. The breakfast set up was fantastic, tables overlooking the lake, then, food wise, everything you might want, hot or cold, absolutely loads of healthy options, delicious!

    This hotel was lovely. It had a pool and access to a lake beach as well as outside dining but it still felt charming and traditional. The rooms were clean and pretty. A big thank you to the staff who were very helpful and friendly and looked after our bags when we arrived early and checked out late. There was also a shuttle service to the station and ferries.
