The garden was beautiful, room was comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. Only issue is that they only have one check-in counter with a lot going on, especially with all of the people in line trying to get into the garden. Overall, it was great.
This lakefront hotel is a 2-minute walk from the pier in Varenna. The historic 19th-century building features a terrace with panoramic views of Lake Como.

Great location, comfortable room, and best aperol spritz in the area. The view is like something from a dream. Staff very helpful and accommodating and there is even a small lift if you’re carrying bags to the upper floors.

The lakeside location was wonderful; the staff were helpful and friendly; the room and linens were spotless; the breakfast was delicious.

LOVED this gorgeous property on the hill! It’s a peaceful sanctuary away from the crowded streets in Varenna below. Stunning!! Only noise was really the chickens.
The staff was so kind and Stefano was so helpful, going above & beyond for us!
Would 100% stay here again.

Location was excellent, just outside train station and near by lake. Host was very friendly supportive, he arranged everything for our stay. Home is such a sweet home

Location and good size of room. Very good breakfast
Perfect location for using the train. It was a little walk to the water and restaurants, but no more than 10 minutes and well worth it. La Veranda, the restaurant above the villa, was excellent. The villa was beautiful. There was a nice outside area with tables, chairs, etc. but unfortunately, we were unable to use them due to weather and time. Our host was wonderful. We left our bags early morning and when we returned, they were in our rooms. One thing we missed is the breakfast which I heard was great, but we had too early of a train. Breakfast is made to order, so could not pre-order. Would absolutely stay again.

Varenna is beautiful and we enjoyed it, but no taxis available you have to stay right in town otherwise have to walk steep hills back to your villa. Restaurants require reservations. Highly recommend Villa Monesterio for walking and outdoor cafe. Everything was very crowded on Saturday and the ferry from Villa Carlotta was over loaded with people if there had been any accident most people could not get out it was too over crowded.

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!
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!
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!!!
Everything. I was totally in love with the place.
They were really loving to us, i felt i was home. Will totally recommend this place if you want to go to Lago di Como (Varenna). If you go by train, when you arrive you can see the hotel just in front of you. It is really close to everything you can walk. Mauro and his wife explain everything to us.
I really miss the place, i almost cried haha.
Kind regards to Mauro, his wife and the dog Roosvelt

We loved everything about the hotel! We didn't include breakfasts with our booking, but chose to have our coffee, pastry and (freshly squeezed) orange juice there every morning, because the atmosphere was so relaxed and friendly. We've only been back in England for one day, and are missing it already! We had a great holiday in Varenna, and Hotel Beretta played a big part in making it a really special holiday. Many thanks to all the staff!
it’s right on the lake and the ferry terminal. The view from the room is simply breathtaking and something that one should not miss. Thanks to the TA community , I had zeroed on in staying at Varenna and in particular at Hotel Olivedo. I am so happy I did that. Bellagio is not on the train route. Hotel olivedo is 4-5 minute walk from the rail station and right on the ferry terminal which is a huge plus in these locations.
Villa Varenna and the hosts were the highlight of our trip to Lake Como! Our room view with the terrace was gorgeous!! The property is an easy walk from the train station, nice quiet location yet very close to all restaurants, ferry and downtown area! Daily breakfast was truly a bonus! The hosts even have a dog (Roosevelt) who greeted us every day which made our trip that much more special!
The whole experience of staying at Casa Pergola was fantastic starting from the moment we were greeted at the railway station by Alberto.
The location of Casa Pergola is perfect. Varenna is a beautiful place to stay. Alberto provided us with places to eat, visit and explore. We recommend this property to anyone who is looking to visit and stay at this location on Lake Como.
The apartment Casa Tri Archi was very fresh and comfortable. Both apartments Casa Tri Archi and Casa Gialla was located in central Varenna, close to the hotel reception and restaurant. The view from the hotel terrass, where the breakfast was served, was stunning. The hotel provided towels for going to the beach, which was a nice detail. Casa Tri Archi had a nice 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!
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.
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!
Very nice place to stay in Varenna ! Definitely not a 1-star hotel, more like 3 stars. 5 mins walking from the train station and with large balcony and great view towards the lake. The room was super clean and with a pleasant smell. Friendly staff. Would love to come back!
After staying in hotels for most of the trip, it was wonderful to stay in an apartment with all facilities. Has view over Lake Como. Communication with the manager was very good to access keys and providing link to the ferry schedule.
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.
Fabulous location. Breathtaking views of Lake Como. At the heart of Varenna.... Breakfast at the restaurant below was good too.
Host/manager Leo was super helpful ( Best English speaking host in Italy)
The hotel is small but very nice. The location is excellent, in the center of Varenna, near the lake. Rooms are extremly clean.
The hotel owner - Diana - is just an amazing person.

The location was absolutely amazing. Varenna was a great town to stay in while at lake como and the view from the apartment was lovely. The hosts were very helpful and efficient too!
Great location, super friendly host, and loved how close it is to every thing. It’s close to the most picturesque part of lake como. And We loved how cosy it was!
Excellent location in the centre of Varenna, close to restaurants, waterfront and ferry. Very comfortable, good size, well equipped. Lovely view across Lake Como.
