Surrounded by botanic gardens, Hotel Villa Cipressi, by R Collection Hotels is right on the shores of Lake Como.

This hotel is really very special. It is absolutely charming and clean and you cannot beat the location. The Botanic gardens are part of the property. They are beautiful and the views here of the lake are stunning. The staff are extremely polite and helpful. They looked after our bags for us when we arrived early and also on the day we left, after our official check-out time. The breakfast in the morning, at the hotel is absolutely delicious- what a spread!

    Easy walk about town.

    Easy walk about town. Wear good walking shoes steps are steep and not always a handrail. Beautiful gardens and scenery. Easy hop on a ferry to go to the other towns. Hike up to the castle is 30 min. I would have felt more comfortable with a walking stick. Make sure to have water.

    Picturesque and just charming.

    Picturesque and just charming. Loved the waterfront, walking on the bridge, flowers, vibe and restaurants on the water. Ferry efficient and pleasant, easy to access other towns. Food superb at Nilas - great, friendly waitress - perfect spot on the lake. Ensure you have plenty gelato. :)

    Loved Varenna. So beautiful, straight out of a movie scene.

    Loved Varenna. So beautiful, straight out of a movie scene. Do a wine tasting, there are many options there. There is a lot of uneven cobblestones and a million stone stairs. Have sturdy shoes with grip. You walk everywhere. I wouldn’t recommend for someone who is unsteady, walks with a cane, has bad knees. I saw people with baby strollers, but I wouldn’t recommend it, seemed awful with all of the stairs. Not a kid friendly location. Food was fantastic…eat all the bread, it’s not like in the US. Take a cooking class. Take the ferry to Bellano and visit Orrido di Bellano. Next time, I would not bother with Bellagio visit. I would’ve liked the boat ride on the lake and botanical gardens…next time.

    Lots of options throughout the area - not just Varenna.

    Lots of options throughout the area - not just Varenna. So why Varenna?Easy access via train without needing more hops to get somewhere else. Probably more things in other villages if you're looking for a party scene. We tend to stay out later than some and we found enough places to seek out in our three nights. This may have included buying a bottle of wine and enjoying it out on the balcony, but still. Just liked the vibe as subjective as that is. Special shout outs to Hotel Olivedo, Locanda del Cavallino, Taxi Boat Varenna and Osteria Quatro Pass.

    Not a lot on the agenda of 'must see' attractions other than relaxing view of the gorgeous lake and mountains, and side trips by ferry to neighboring Menaggio and Bellagio. A relaxing time in a relaxing environment.

    Varenna is beautiful.

    Varenna is beautiful. The lake views are awesome, with easy access to the ferries to the other islands. The Gardens of Villa Monastero were absolutely stunning. We loved having immediate access to the Greenway for a safer walking experience. And a number of excellent restaurants.
