Hotel Olivedo, hotel in Varenna

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.

This hotel exceeded my expectations! I was worried about being in the annex as opposed to the main building. It turned out to be the best ever! We were in room 203 and wow! Just a magnificent view and we were right by the ferry in the thick of it all. Their restaurant was wonderful too!

Near Villa Monastero and Castello di Vezio, hotel in Varenna

Near Villa Monastero and Castello di Vezio is located in Varenna, just 28 miles from Villa d'Este Gold Club and 30 miles from Como Borghi Train Station.

Positives: --The balcony is the highlight. Large and has an incredible view of the lake --Nice, clean apartment with a large living room and kitchen --pretty and quiet neighborhood --Yury was fantastic. We elected to have him pick us up and drop us off from the train station for 20 euros each way, and he gave us a tour of the town. He was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay, and he even gave us a complementary bottle of wine --washer in the unit (although we did not use it) Things to know: --This is in an adjacent neighborhood to Varenna, about a 30 minute walk from Villa Monastero (which is on the edge of Varenna). It is a nice neighborhood, and there is a restaurant close by, but you should expect to have to walk to and from Varenna, with hills to get up into the neighborhood. You can cut the walk in half by taking the train, but it only comes once an hour. We enjoyed the walk (it is along Lake Como after all) --No ac. We opened the windows at night and it was cool Overall, we really enjoyed this experience. We enjoyed breakfast and wine in the evenings out on the balcony with an amazing view, and we were in Varenna/Bellagio/Menaggio during the days. If you are happy with walking and understand it is not in the city center, you will have a great time

    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.
