Varenna Sweet Home, hotel in Varenna

Located in Varenna, Varenna Sweet Home provides air-conditioned accommodation with a patio and free WiFi. The property has quiet street views.

I wanted to wait until I was home from my vacation to fully give my attention to the review of Varenna Sweet Home. Of all the places we stayed in this was our favourite. Atila picked us up from the train station and walked us the short distance back to the suite. Atila paid attention to all the details to make our trip special. There was a binder of information for us to utilize, wash machine and dishwasher pods for us to use as well the kitchen and bathroom were very well equipt. The pullout couch in the living room was just as comfortable to sleep on as the queen-size bed in the bedroom. We were so comfortable!! What we loved the most was the large patio area. We had a table to sit and eat at, lounge chairs, and room to hang out our laundry on the line. It was such a lovely sanctuary and we are so very grateful we stayed at this suite. Thank you, Atila! PS: thank you for the proscecco, too!

Il mulino, hotel in Varenna

Il mulino is a beachfront property situated in Varenna, 49 km from Como Borghi Train Station and 50 km from Basilica of San Fedele.

Nicole's place in Fiumelatte, Lake Como was perfect for a solo trip (it would also be great for couples). It's right next to the lake and there's even a secret beach about 3 mins from the villa you can swim in. I was there all afternoon and it was empty the whole time. It's a short walk (maybe 20 mins) from the main town of Varenna and it's a lovely walk along the lake. You pass Villa Monastero which is well worth a visit. There are a couple of nice restaurants nearby serving fish fresh from the lake. The villa is just over a waterfall and the location is very peaceful - a nice break from busy Varenna. Nicole had left some drinks in the fridge for arrival and a great selection of brioche's and little toasts with coffee pods and tea bags. The actually building was very charming in a converted mill and kept very clean with everything needed for a short stay. Nicole was very attentive and answered all the questions I had about the area. I would definitely recommend this place for solo travellers and couples who want to stay somewhere less touristy and quieter than the central town, but still within easy reach of the lake and local sights of Varenna.

    Beautiful views of Lake Como.

    Beautiful views of Lake Como. Quite a few restaurants, a couple down next to the Lake and a couple down the alleyways. Would suggest 1 or 2 days there. Everything is quite close to each other. Boat trip on Lake Como looks great. Entertainment some nights at the Square but no music allowed after 11pm. One bar open till 1am. Great place to take photos.

    I visited Varenna 20 years ago and stated it was one of my favourite places on the planet. Be fully aware that it is very much a tourist trap now and you will be sharing the beautiful village with thousands of people.

    Varenna is a great place to unwind and relax.

    Varenna is a great place to unwind and relax. The lake, surrounding scenery including the mountain views, is beautiful. The most convenient way to get around the lake is via the ferry system. That said, you need to make sure you're at the right pier for your departure times. The guidance and signage posted from the ferry company - particularly in Bellagio - was very lacking. Lots of travelers seeking clarification from the few ferry company employees that were available. And we were there in shoulder season - I can only imagine the confusion experienced by all the ferry users during peak time. We were only in the area a couple of days due to our schedule. But we were very glad to have the opportunity to visit Varenna. We did take the ferry around the mid-lake route, with a few hour stop-over in Bellagio for lunch and to explore the town. It was cute, but Bellagio was getting very crowded by Sunday afternoon, (and again it wasn't peak season yet.) Also, be sure to seek out your restaurants and make dinner reservations WELL in advance of your visit. We saw quite a few folks getting turned away from restaurants because they did not have reservations.

    Perfect location for using the train.

    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.

    Giuli was a fantastic host. From arriving (we were early) she gave us our room. Sent me lots of information and recommendations for in and around Varenna, on WhatsApp. All were amazing! The room was very clean and had everything you needed. If we asked for anything, it was left within an hour! The location was perfect. 5 mins walk from Varenna Esio Station. 3 mins walk to ferry port and 8 mins walk to the square. Nothing is far in Varenna. We 100% recommend staying at Tosca House 2. It's a wonderful base for all things Lake Como 😊

    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.

    The apartment Casa Tri Archi was very fresh and comfortable. Both apartments Casa Tri Archi and Casa Gialla was located in central Varenna, close to the hotel reception and restaurant. The view from the hotel terrass, where the breakfast was served, was stunning. The hotel provided towels for going to the beach, which was a nice detail. Casa Tri Archi had a nice balcony.

    Varenna is an very good choice for a base to explore the Lake Como area and the Hotel Olivedo is an ideal place to stay. Location is fantastic, a 5 minute walk from the train station and just across from the ferries. Our lake view room was spacious and had plenty of sunlight. A good breakfast with pleasant helpful staff. Highly recommend.

    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.
