The location was planning perfect. Varenna is beautiful lake town with excellent views and a perfect jumping off point for the lake. Hermes was an amazing host and wonderful person. We loved our stay and will definitely come again.

An amazing view and really nice and helpful staff.
Facing Varenna’s Piazza San Giorgio, Albergo Del Sole is less than 328 feet from the shores of Lake Como. It offers classic-style rooms, a restaurant with pizzeria and a snack bar.
Beautiful view from our room, perfect stay in Varenna!
Perfect location for using the train. It was a little walk to the water and restaurants, but no more than 10 minutes and well worth it. La Veranda, the restaurant above the villa, was excellent. The villa was beautiful. There was a nice outside area with tables, chairs, etc. but unfortunately, we were unable to use them due to weather and time. Our host was wonderful. We left our bags early morning and when we returned, they were in our rooms. One thing we missed is the breakfast which I heard was great, but we had too early of a train. Breakfast is made to order, so could not pre-order. Would absolutely stay again.

Varenna is beautiful and we enjoyed it, but no taxis available you have to stay right in town otherwise have to walk steep hills back to your villa. Restaurants require reservations. Highly recommend Villa Monesterio for walking and outdoor cafe. Everything was very crowded on Saturday and the ferry from Villa Carlotta was over loaded with people if there had been any accident most people could not get out it was too over crowded.

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!
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Camilla House. The house was in a great location, close to Varenna, where other towns on the lake (Bellagio, Menaggio...) can easily be reached by ferry . Marilena was an amazing host. She picked us up at the train station and showed us what to see in Varenna. She was also very available throughout the stay. The house is very clean and has everything you need to cook. We would highly recommend the Camilla House for a memorable stay with stunning views on lake Como.
This was a wonderful place to stay for our three nights in Varenna! Our lovely hosts, Maria and Pietro, met us at the station and gave us a ride to the apartment, which was furnished with binders of suggestions for our time on Lake Como. The apartment was beautiful, comfortable, and centrally located (do be aware that there is no other staff or mid-stay cleaning/towel swap). No AC, but it was very cool at night and there was a powerful fan.
Everything! A beautiful apartment in a stunning location. the view down the lake from the balcony was wonderful, everything I dreamed of when coming to Lake Como. The location is right in the middle of the attractions in Varenna, but also very quiet. Alexandro was an excellent host, very welcoming and helpful about everything you will need for your stay. waking up to the beautiful view from your bed was very special.
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.
A beautiful apartment with a stunning panoramic view of the lake, we had several hotel stays on our trip & this was definitely our highlight.
We were greeted punctually by the owner who showed us in & gave advice on restaurants, boat trips, taxis etc.
A large comfortable apartment in the perfect place to explore Varenna. 2 min stroll down steps to cafes, restaurants & the view!
Absolutely stunning location on the banks of Lake Como in gorgeous, tiny Varenna. Our room had an incredible view of this magical lake and surroundings. Breakfast on the terrace of the restaurant was a lovely treat. Staff is efficient and helpful; although I speak Italian their English is perfect so this make it very easy to communicate re eg ferry schedules, etc.
There had been a landslide in the area so train travel was limited. The host/hotel concierge was very helpful in providing needed information that helped us make connections with train and boats. The hotel restaurant served excellent fish from Lake Como. A lovely location in the town square of Varenna and picturesque establishment.
Charming boutique hotel on the lovely Piazza San Giorgio. Perfect way to avoid the big crowds along the water, but only a five minute walk to everything. Lovely restaurant on site and great gelato right across the street. 300 m or so from the train station. Very friendly staff and the rooms were immaculate. Great find!
The hotel is really beautiful and pleasing to look at. The view from the balcony and from the restaurant is breathtaking. Honestly, the photos online doesn’t do it justice. The hotel is very well centred in Varenna and everything is within minutes walking distance. Staff were professional and accommodating.
one of the best property we have stayed . we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Varenna ( lake como ) .
I will definitely recommend staying here for those who are looking to stay near Varenna , Bellagio area as it very close to ferry .
special mention to Alfina for being a super host
The hotel manager Barbara was the best, wonderfully gracious, so helpful, and made us feel at home.
She made lunch reservation at the restaurant just steps away at the lake where we had delish late lunch, wine,& 360degree view of Lake Como, a delight!
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 stayed at Hotel Beretta. Large room with excellent balcony. Renovated hotel so the room was modern and comfortable. Very good air conditioning. Central location to the train and ferry. The breakfast was standard.
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!
Heart opening view of Lake Como. The town of Varenna is easy to get around, friendly and pleasing. Good for the soul.
Giada is cheerful and helpful taking special care of us.
Set on the edge of Lake Como with views of the mountains. Just hop off the ferry and into the hotel. Slightly old fashioned but I actually liked that. Wonderful building too.
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.
Amazing location offering waterfront views of Lake Como and Varenna. The apartment was comfortable and clean. Definitely our hope is a return stay in the near future!
