Hotel Montecodeno, hotel in Varenna

Located in Varenna and only 3 minutes on foot from Lake Como, Hotel Montecodeno is very close to a ferry boat stop. It offers free WiFi and rooms with views of the garden and mountains.

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.

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.

    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.

    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. 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. :)

    The owners and employees are A+. Our 2-story, 1-bedroom apartment was clean and comfortable. (Bedroom and bathroom were downstairs.) Apartment, bed, linens and temperature were very comfortable. Couch and high-back chair seem old and could use an updating soon. Happy to have a kitchen and a kitchen table and chairs. We paid €12 for a small bottle of wine offered in the apartment. Nice breakfast included in our stay. We loved our time in Varenna and ferrying over to Bellagio. Thank you, Albergo Milano!!!

    We had a lovely stay at El Lavandee and really enjoyed the comfort of a larger space for our family of 5, the air con, washing machine and, especially the little private beach (through the tunnel under the road). The apartment was well equipped, clean and well styled. It was 2km out of Varenna but there was a great multi story car park on the edge of Varenna which served us well. Daniela and Marco were really helpful and we loved the boat hire they suggested - 3hours on Lake Como was a highlight!

    We liked it all…we had a clean comfortable room with a view of Lake Como (we were in the suite), the food at the restaurant was amazing and the staff the best of any of our stays in Italy. This was the last 2 nights of our two week trip and it was hard to leave. Varenna is unassuming but easy to get to via train or ferry. We took the train from Milan and walked to the hotel from the station (maybe a half mile) - doable. If we could give the staff a 10, we would! 🙂

    We stayed in the annex which seems recently renovated. The facilities were perfect, nice big room and bathroom, excellent shower, beautiful picturesque balcony overlooking the water. Nice breakfast with hot options too. The windows are new and well sealed to successfully block out noises from nearby ferry terminal and restaurants. Short walk from the train station, and close to all of Varenna's best sites. So glad we stayed in this part of Lake Como.

    Cute little lakefront hotel in Varenna, we loved it! The staff are exceptional - so friendly and warm, we felt very welcomed. Beautiful property with lake view rooms. Breakfast on the terrace with the most amazing and calm view over the lake - unforgettable. It’s a classic ans typical Italian hotel, rooms are small but the overall atmosphere is very romantic. Perfect for couples.

    Should be more a 3* rather than a 1*. We stopped here twice in our week in Varenna and preferred this hotel to the 3* we had booked. Great location to the train station and main areas of Varenna. Rooms clean and the 2 rooms we stopped in were big. We had a large balcony with great views over the lake. Will definitely stay here again when we visit Varenna hopefully next year.

    This apartment was beautiful and in a perfect location close to restaurants, shopping and the shores of Lake Como and ferry in Varenna. We could walk to everything, and yet it was very quiet! There was an awesome view out the windows also of the lake and mountains! I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting the City of Varenna on Lake Como!

    The location was excellent because we needed to be close to the Hotel Cipriessi because my daughter was holding her wedding there, and then being so close to the centre of Varenna was a bonus. We walked in the hills, found some excellent restaurants, caught the boats to other villages and had a wonderful time.
