“The staff were extremely helpful, our view was spectacular, and the breakfast each morning was very well done! Thank you so much for the welcome bottle of Prosecco; ready directions and assistance with dinner reservations and taxi to the train station were much appreciated. I highly recommend touring the gardens and enjoying an evening Prosecco on the terrace as the sun sets across the lake. We could not have had a better stay - thank you again!” Read more

“Great location, extremely helpful staff, very clean. Included breakfast was more than I expected. I would stay there again, and highly recommend.”

“Hotel had an arrangement with an off street parking garage next door. Be sure to reserve a space when booking with them if you are driving. On street parking would be difficult. Beautiful lake and garden views from our corner suite. Breakfast was OK. Quieter than being in the heart of town. A pleasant stay.” Read more

“The location is amazing, cannot be better especially the parking garage so close. The lake view **breath taking**. The staff is friendly but the service can be much better.”

“Great location in Varenna, within walking distance to any restaurant or the boat/ferry launch. The Hotel is magnificent, with and exceptional botanical garden, in which all the flora are identified with plates. The rooms are large and the bathroom is spacious as well, with an overhead shower and wand. There is no restaurant on site and the 'bar' is a bit spotty. Breakfast is well done. And certainly not least, the staff is wonderful and helpful. Our visit to Varenna and stay at Villa Cipressi was well worth the trouble to get there. The Hotel is managed by the R Collection. The R Collection also manages an neighboring hotel, the Royal Victoria. The restaurant at the Royal Victoria was exceptional and reasonable.” Read more

“Facility was beautiful and had a great location. Breakfast was great.”

“Elite location and pristine facilities. Francesca - who worked the front desk and acted as concierge and much more - is among the most impressive people in hospitality, fully invested in making sure every aspect of your stay is exceptional.”

“Very authentic Very nice staff especialy Enzo Clean room”

“The gardens on the property were incredible. The location was easily accessible. The city is incredible. It's beautiful, the people are kind, and it far exceeded all expectations.”

“This is a gorgeous setting--complete with famed botanical garden--in the peaceful village of Varenna. We wrestled with whether to stay here or in the bigger Bellagio, but it only took a few minutes on that town's tourist-choked waterfront to know we made the right decision. We splurged on a separate cottage with beamed ceilings and balcony (and two well-functioning and much needed a/c units) right on the water: expensive, but a bargain compared to similar accommodations elsewhere. And we were just a five-minute walk from the ferry.” Read more
