Hotel Royal Victoria, by R Collection Hotels, hotel in Varenna

Offering panoramic views across Lake Como, Hotel Royal Victoria, by R Collection Hotels is set in a building dating back to the 19th century.

This hotel is all about the view. Sitting outside overlooking the lake with drinks and nibbles at sunset is just breathtaking. The breakfast was the best we had in Italy - again overlooking the lake.

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.

The location was ok given it was close to the station. But that meant you were further away from other activities.

    I was in Varenna for a long weekend at the beginning of November. I stayed 3 nights and had 2.5 days. Varenna itself is easy to explore if you're ready to walk hills and if you want spectacular vistas. I did everything on foot and climbed many feet and walked many miles. It's quite small and many visitors simply do a day trip by ferry. The locals are not particularly friendly, but this is true of many tourist destinations.

    Beautiful town with stunning views of the lake.

    Beautiful town with stunning views of the lake. The castle is worth the steep climb but is presented more in terms of themes rather than its history. Great little walks around the town, for example the "Patriarchs" walk. The town itself is very attractive and draws a lot of tourists. Easy boat trips to other Como towns. Would have seen Villa Monastero but it was closed for unstated reasons.

    Varenna is small enough that you can enjoy the whole place in a couple of days, but big enough that there are restaurants and shops and villas to go to and enjoy. You can walk everywhere. There is a cute little "Lover's Walk" for photos, and the place is just so picturesque that you could sit for hours just watching people, drinking cappuccino and basking in the loveliness! We ate one night at the #2-ranked restaurant, and I wasn't blown away at all - not worth the $$. We ate great pizza one night at the glass-enclosed restaurant in the main square - much better and much less expensive. There's also a cute place where you can go just for wine - something like In Vino Veritas.

    Varenna and surrounding area has spectacular scenery.

    Varenna and surrounding area has spectacular scenery. Because of this, there were lots of tourist. Catching one of the boats that traverse the lake is a bit trying, particularly in the middle of the day. Queues to get on the boats are very disorganized with people cutting in line. Bellagio, which seemed to be the most popular destination, was also very crowded. At lunch time the majority of restaurants were full. Also, it was difficult to find a public W/C in Bellagio (one near the boat landing had really long lines). Most restaurants required that a meal be ordered so having a cappuccino and using their W/C was not an option. Menaggio, on the west side of Lake Como, was far less crowded. There are several Villa's south of Managgio that are very worthwhile visiting.

    Varenna was the perfect place to stay in order to visit as much of Lake Como as possible. Train from Milan was easy, as was the train to Tirano and on to St Moritz. Shopping (plus two small grocery shops) was good and restaurants and gelaterias excellent. There were not too many so you don't feel too crowded out with visitors, despite the fact that many arrive for just a day visit and swarm through the town. Villa Monastero was a wonderful visit as was Villa Barbariello by taxi tour to Lenno. A day visit from Varenna to Bellano was also lovely.

    My wife and I have traveled all over the world.

    My wife and I have traveled all over the world. Lake Como is in the top three places of anywhere we ever been. It is so beautiful with the Alps. The people are very nice and the food is delicious. I would recommend it for anybody going to Italy.

    The view alone from both the room and the terrace that you have access to makes this property the PERFECT spot for a trip to Lake Como / Varenna! Perfect location for / walking distance to Villa Monastero, some little swim spots, the train station, ferry port, food and the lake itself. Huge bonus to have breakfast vouchers and back drop off included. Couldn't recommend more!

    The view was incredible! 🏞 Varenna-esino train station is 3 minutes away from Fuimelatte, the area where the apartment is located. This is where you can get a ferry around the lake to the towns of Bellagio and Menagio for all the main Lake Como tourist attractions.

    Small family run hotel in great location. The room was nice and very clean, the beds were comfortable and the staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was not huge, but everything we wanted was there. We will happily stay here again next time we’re in Varenna.

    Our adult family of 4 loved Varenna and Hotel Olivedo suited us perfectly - great location, rooms, service and breakfast. Amazing view of Lake Como. Noise from the ferry didn't bother us, we found it entertaining to watch the comings and goings from our balcony.

    The hotel is small but very nice. The location is excellent, in the center of Varenna, near the lake. Rooms are extremly clean. The hotel owner - Diana - is just an amazing person. Ireneusz
