The garden was beautiful, room was comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. Only issue is that they only have one check-in counter with a lot going on, especially with all of the people in line trying to get into the garden. Overall, it was great.
This lakefront hotel is a 2-minute walk from the pier in Varenna. The historic 19th-century building features a terrace with panoramic views of Lake Como.

I loved the location being in the town square. I people watched from my second floor balcony while sipping on wine. My second floor room had a partial view of Lake Como. The food at Albergo Del Sole is delicious and well priced.

Attilio met us at the door to welcome us and explain everything, he was really nice and helpful. The location was truly amazing. Convenient two minute walk from the train station so you don't have to carry luggage up/down into the other parts of town. The main attractions are only a 10 minute walk away. The place looks to be freshly renovated and they thought about all the little details for a comfortable stay. The best accommodation we stayed in during our trip around Italy. The sofa bed is well.. a sofa bed so not the most comfortable sleep, but it does accommodate an extra person or two. There is a separate bedroom with a double bed which was very comfortable. It also has an outdoor area, which is lovely. We truly loved staying there and wish we had longer. Thank you for everything
Guests staying at this apartment have access to free Wifi. The air-conditioned apartment is composed of 2 separate bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with an oven and a microwave, and 1 bathroom.

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.
Offering a garden and a furnished sun terrace, Villa Varenna was built in 1895 in central Varenna, on the eastern shores of Lake Como. WiFi is free throughout.

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!
Outstanding location in Varenna. Easy walkability to various places around town. Lake Como view from balcony where we had our wine nightcaps. This property is associated with the In Vinis Veritas wine bar just around the corner. We were delayed getting to town because of train issues. As we walked by, the wine bar owner called out my name (must have recognized me from passport) and had us stop for a splash of sparkling wine before walking us to the apartment. We felt so welcome, like being greeted by friends. Casa Giada is a special place.
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!!!
A charming hotel (and very busy restaurant) with well-designed rooms on Varenna's main square, a 10-minute walk uphill from the trains and ferries - best reached along the main road (rather than the waterside path) if you're walking with luggage. Very close to the town parking garage and the two garden villas as well. Bags can be left at reception until check-in time, and there's an elevator. Breakfast was very good, with eggs on request, and lovely smiley staff.
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!
Best location EVER! Steps from all the shops and restaurants, just off the water, a few minutes walk to the ferry. If you want to have easy access to all the best things in Varenna and you don't need a fancy hotel but a nice clean room with a private bathroom with a cute shared kitchen this is the perfect spot! The room was a good size and was ideal for us, I could not have been happier!
Location is great. Easy access to harbor for ferries to visit other coasts. All tourist attractions at Varenna are close to hotel. Reception service was good and they took luggage to safe before check in. Room also has safety locker and the door to apartments stays locked all time so it feels safe. Air conditioner included. Breakfast included (although a bit basic). Pets are allowed.
Central location was outstanding, 100 metres to ferry and so easy to train. Clean, well presented property with the most beautiful host Mary. Very comfortable bedding, well appointed with a terrace that was ideal for our extended family. The view of Lake Como was breathtaking. Varenna was the most perfect start to our 3 weeks in Italy.
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.
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.
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,
Lovely friendly hotel and brilliant restaurant next door. Owners were really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fab, and the room was large, airy and comfortable (and air conditioned )
Restaurant is just round the corner and one of the best in Varenna.
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
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.
Location is amazing. On the lake, with aweosme breakfast, quiet patio to relax with food or drinks for hotel Guests only. Easy walk from the train and great ferry access to bellagio.
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.
Our host was amazing, very personable and helpful. Spoke perfect English and VERY accommodating. If ever we find ourselves in Lake Como again, this is where we will stay!
most beautiful view in all of Varenna, and possibly all of Lake Como. Clean and comfortable place with everything you need to have a fun and calming vacation.
