Casa San Giorgio Varenna, hotel in Varenna

Set 100 metres from Villa Monastero and a few steps from Lake Como, Casa San Giorgio Varenna offers rooms and apartments with free WiFi. Guests enjoy a rooftop terrace and a lounge with a honesty bar....

Loved the stay in this property. It was situated in an excellent location and we enjoyed the lake views from our room and the terrace. The living room is an additional bonus where you have the basic amenities to cook and also some snacks for breakfast. It felt like home more than an accommodation. The owner of the property Elisa guided us through every step from reaching the accommodation and sharing driver contacts when we were stuck in thunderstorm. She was very kind and checked on us from time to time. Overall very satisfied with the stay and I definitely recommend this property if you are planning to visit Lake Como.

    The views from Varenna are better than the more southerly locations. There are lovely walks and it’s easy to get to nearby towns. There are many eating places but not much opportunity to shop if self catering.

    We knew we were going off season (the hotel has only opened the week we visited in the 2nd week of March) Varenna is a pretty village with breathtakingly beautiful views. But off season there was nowhere open to get a drink or food after 9pm!

    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. 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.

    Hotel Olivedo is a gem. Right on the lake it is easy to walk to restaurants and shops. Watching the sunset was a plus, just outside our window. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast, which was included, was plentiful and delicious. The bed was extremely comfortable. The building is old, but all of the decor adds to the charm. We were very comfortable there. The restaurant was good and well situated right outside the ferry. Thank you we had a wonderful stay.

    Roberto and Elisabetta were great hosts. Roberto organized transportation anytime we needed it. He picked us up at the train station and took us into the unit. The apartment is spacious, comfortable and well appointed. The view from the patio is a gorgeous one of Lake Como. And the furniture outside and in was very comfortable, which isn't always the case. Roberto answered our only one issue promptly with an effective solution. He had good recommendations for restaurants.

    The Villa it was simply perfect! The location, room, view, everything! We are coming back soon for sure! It's close to everything you need and want to see. The host Roberto is the best, he helped us from the train station and drove us to Varenna anytime we needed. He even took us to see the whole lake by boat. The experience was beautiful and writing this makes me want to book the next trip already. Lake Como, the villa and Roberto is worth visiting more than once

    The 2-bedroom apartment was spacious and clean, with a good-sized common area for relaxing. Fully equipped kitchen, washing machine and powder were provided. The uninterrupted view of Lake Como from the balcony was amazing. The walk into town (a good portion along a pretty laneway) was enchanting. Staying close to Varenna was lovely, as it is such a pretty town with lots to see.

    A wonderful small hotel by the ferry station in Varenna (around 5-7 min promenade to the central area of the town). Cozy and impeccably clean! The room was spacious and airy. A balcony has a nice lake view. The bed was a bit hard but still quite comfortable for my taste. Altogether, the hotel exceeded my expectations! Warmly recommend.

    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.

    The hotel location, room size and quality, cleanliness, and other features all suited me very well as a solo traveler. The owner was extremely helpful when I said in advance I might have difficulty with remote check-in (which went smoothly, no problems). I would definitely choose hotel again if traveling to Varenna and Lake Como area.

    The hotel is really beautiful and pleasing to look at. The view from the balcony and from the restaurant is breathtaking. Honestly, the photos online doesn’t do it justice. The hotel is very well centred in Varenna and everything is within minutes walking distance. Staff were professional and accommodating.
