Fantastic location, close to station but also lake and town. Friendly staff. The best view from our hotel room. Comfy rooms and bed plus great balcony. Breakfast had a good variety.

Such an easy walk to the train station and the ferry. There is a luggage storage at the train station if you arrive early. It is convenient because all the streets and up or down, few level, and lots of stone. Varenna is a beautiful place. The apartment had everything, including a patio for relaxing evenings outside. We used the washing machine, and it did fine. There is a clothes line to dry. There is an espresso maker and it works great. We were so very comfortable all 3 days and the place is very large. I would definitely recommend it to a close friend, and come back myself!

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. :)

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.
The Margherita house had a great view of Lake Como and you can see Belaggio and Menaggio right from your window. The place was very clean and well kept. Just a 15 minute walk to Varenna restaurants and ferry. Great location!! Francesca was extremely helpful and picked us up from the train station. She gave us great recommendations and suggestions during our stay. It was our first visit to the area so her guidance was very much appreciated!! We also appreciated her checking in from time to time to make sure we were ok and comfortable.
Ottilio responded immediately to our concerns. He asked his friend Lorenza to meet us at the parking lot and walked us down a minute to this complete & beautiful apartment. Lorenza gave us a thorough introduction to the apartment and Varenna. It has clothes washer, dishwasher, microwave, stove. Location is 1 minute from train station and parking, 5 minutes to lake and boats. Easy travel by boat to Bellagio and Menaggio. Home away from home! Proseco a welcome touch!
Thank you Ottilio and Lorenza for a beautiful stay in Varenna!
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!

The staff: The staff at Villa Torretta is friendly and attentive. They are always happy to help you with anything you need, and they go out of their way to make sure that your stay is enjoyable.
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!
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 views of Lake Como were amazing! It was so beautiful and made it worth the stay at this place. The room was nice and spacious with a full kitchen and bathroom. It was about a 10 min walk to the city of Varenna and a little less to the ferry. We were able to spend a lot of time in Varenna while also exploring Bellagio and Menaggio. (Also images are from the balcony!)
We fall in love with this cute house near to Lake Como. It's a charming place with green door, huge bed and large terrace, where you can eat your breakfast with beautiful view. Also, we recommend the whole Varenna city, which is one of the prettiest towns on the lake. Contact with the host was very good, it turned out to be helpful. Grazie!
Central location was outstanding, 100 metres to ferry and so easy to train. Clean, well presented property with the most beautiful host Mary. Very comfortable bedding, well appointed with a terrace that was ideal for our extended family. The view of Lake Como was breathtaking. Varenna was the most perfect start to our 3 weeks in Italy.
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 location of the hotel is ideally situated within a short walk from the Varenna train station and the ferry points to visit other locations on Lake Como and further afield. The room was as pictured ideal for a single person and the brekfast which was included with the booking was also good.
It was a beautiful and charming property with terraces that overlooked Lake Como. Mauro was an incredible host who did it all to make his guests happy. It was a short walk to center of town and the ferry dock.
Definitely not a one star hotel. It was a clean, spacious room. The cafe below is fantastic and very convenient. A great location to the train station and to the main sights in Varenna. Would highly recommend!
Beautiful view of Lake Como from the room. Nice, spacious room, fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. Air conditioning, private parking space on the street. Varenna is a bit far by walk but worth the effort.
The location in Varenna was stunning. The view and hotel in general was beautiful. The staff were lovely. Our room was large with a balcony overlooking the lake. It was really special.
