Perfect location
Very friendly staff at the front desk
However the room didn’t meet up to expectations and can be better. The flooring is quite poor , the bed was nothing to write home about.

Super close to the train station. Literally next to the exit with just 1 min walk. It’s also a close walking distance to the pier to hop on the boat to other islands.
The place is very nice, cozy and modern. Well cleaned. Sofa bed is very comfortable and big unlike other places. There’s snack (biscuits, macaron), tea and water to welcome us. There’s a microwave in the kitchen with all the kitchenware. Bathroom is well equipped with amenities. Water pressure is strong. The owner is also super nice and helpful. He stood in front of the place to make sure we find the place. When we msg him to ask something at night, he offered to come by to help and we’re very glad.

Elisa is extremely kind to relocate us to another of her room right at the centre of Varenna as there was vacancy and the view of lake como from the balcony and rooftop was stunning! It was a perfect stay with free toiletries, hairdryer etc. and great breakfast! (honestly rare to see free breakfast provided so definitely a plus point)

Hermes was a very kind host and suggesting excellent restaurants for dinner. He has a well equipped wine shop and offers wine tasting. Unfortunately we did not have enough time to enjoy the tasting, but he gave us a good price for wines we purchased!

Ferries are frequent & very punctual.

Don't miss Villa Monastero!
Don't miss Villa Monastero! Lovely gardens walking along the lakeside and tours inside were only offered on weekends. Check hours before going.
A few restaurants within walking distance of the ferry. Bar Moto has spectacular views from the water.

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.
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. :)

Varenna was our favorite town in Lake Como and Varenna Guest House was the perfect location to explore the lake from. It is a 5 minute walk to the train station, 2 minute walk to the ferries and a 10 minute walk to all of the restaurants on the promenade. it had all the basics a traveler needs and we were very comfortable throughout our stay. We also appreciated our host Enrico who went out of his way to mail our watch which we forgot at the apartment at checkout.
This is the perfect location to stay in Varenna if travelling by train, it’s just a few minutes walk down hill from the train station. Giulia the host was very helpful, I was unwell during my stay and she fetched me pain killers. The rooms are cosy, wonderful comfy bed and spacious bathroom and great shower. The views from the balcony in the common area are gorgeous and where breakfast is served from - a wonderful stay and location for exploring Lake Como!
This is a 1 star hotel. It provides a comfortable stay in a very convenient location with 1 star service. In my opinion, this was not cheap (110 per night for 1 person on a weekday with no breakfast. This is not a place for a special occasion, but is a bed in a decent size room a few minutes walk from ferry/train/centre. Varenna itself is pretty, but better to visit than stay in. Restaurants are busy/pre-booked abd over priced. Hotels the same.
We enjoyed our stay here. Everything in the apartment was a bit dated, but clean and in good condition. The apartment included the use of not one, but three terraces, each with increasingly better views of Varenna and Lake Como. Wow. Enzo and Antonella were great hosts. This is a private apartment on the lowest level of their home, but it did have a separate entrance. The washing machine worked well, and they had a drying rack for us to use.
Everything. The location. The views of Lake Como, with a private balcony, were unparralled. The included breakfast was fantastic. It is a 5 min walk to the ferry, a 2 min walk to the main area by the water with bars, has it's on restaurant and bar. The staff, particularly Tatiana, was fantastic. Some of the most helpful, warm, friendly, people I've ever met. they also have their own parking lot.
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.
The Hotel Olivedo had the most wonderful location. We had Room 22 with a balcony overlooking the harbor. We thought it would be a little loud, but not at all. The activity for the ferries started well after we awakened. The breakfast was lovely and the room was large and comfortable. The hotel is a historic one, so not shiny new but it was charming and a good value.
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.

A very special wee flat, cosy and comfortable. View of lake como from window and amazing small waterfall right beside balcony. Very spacious accommodation for 2 people. Easy travel links from Fiumelatte train station or nearby Varenna. Nicole the host could not have been more helpful. Highly recommended.
Great location but would have struggled without a car. Views were spectacular from the apartment . The only facility missing was air con which made sleeping really uncomfortable as we stayed during a heatwave and temperstures reached over 45°c. Varenna and Bellagio were beautiful.
We had the suite and it was incredible. The view from our balcony was phenomenal! The room was comfortable, the staff were fantastic, we couldn’t have asked for a better location on the lake. If you’re going to Lake Como, Hotel Royal Victoria is the only place you need to stay!
Lovely friendly hotel and brilliant restaurant next door. Owners were really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fab, and the room was large, airy and comfortable (and air conditioned )
Restaurant is just round the corner and one of the best in Varenna.
We loved our stay in Varenna and Casa Garden was an ideal place to stay. Great service from Alberto and a wonderful property offering an amazing terrace on the lake. A real oasis after a busy day at Lake Como.
The hotel is in the centre of Varenna; about 15 minutes walk from the train station. It is near all the café /bars and restaurants. Despite the narrowness of the bed, the mattress was very comfortable.
The hotel had a great location, was easy to find, staff was nice and the breakfast was also fantastic. Would definitely recommend this hotel if you are staying in Varenna.
