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.

    Varenna provides a great home base for seeing Bellagio,...

    Varenna provides a great home base for seeing Bellagio, Tremezzo, Villa Carlotta, Menaggio, and Lenno, as it has both a train and ferry station. The only downside is that it is not convenient to Como, but it is possible to travel even there. The town itself is lovely, with a beautiful walkway along the shore and a cute town center with nearby gardens and villas to visit. If you like hiking, the remains of a castle tower above the town. There is a good little convenience store, and the botanical gardens and villa nearby are lovely. Tremezzo in particular, with its gorgeous villa Carlotta, is nearby, and if you are up to it, there is a trail called the Greenway that takes you from Tremezzo to Lenno. While parts of the walk are steep, the trail is well-marked, with signs and even metal markers embedded into the pavement (where it exists).

    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. 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.

    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.

    Ottilio responded immediately to our concerns. He asked his friend Lorenza to meet us at the parking lot and walked us down a minute to this complete & beautiful apartment. Lorenza gave us a thorough introduction to the apartment and Varenna. It has clothes washer, dishwasher, microwave, stove. Location is 1 minute from train station and parking, 5 minutes to lake and boats. Easy travel by boat to Bellagio and Menaggio. Home away from home! Proseco a welcome touch! Thank you Ottilio and Lorenza for a beautiful stay in Varenna!

    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!

    We loved everything about our stay!! We stayed in the annex of Hotel Olivedo which is only a short walk from the main building and close to the station or ferry. It was very easy to find, staff were lovely and very welcoming, there was a good selection for breakfast with the breakfast “room” being out of the front of the hotel with a lake view. Our room was clean and spacious with a big modern bathroom and a terrace out the front overlooking the lake.

    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.

    Cute little lakefront hotel in Varenna, we loved it! The staff are exceptional - so friendly and warm, we felt very welcomed. Beautiful property with lake view rooms. Breakfast on the terrace with the most amazing and calm view over the lake - unforgettable. It’s a classic ans typical Italian hotel, rooms are small but the overall atmosphere is very romantic. Perfect for couples.

    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!

    The hotel location, room size and quality, cleanliness, and other features all suited me very well as a solo traveler. The owner was extremely helpful when I said in advance I might have difficulty with remote check-in (which went smoothly, no problems). I would definitely choose hotel again if traveling to Varenna and Lake Como area.
