Everything was amazing. One of the best hotels I’ve been in. The location was amazing too! We went during spring time but the room was very well heated.

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!

Superb location and very helpful and friendly staff
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. :)

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.
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Camilla House. The house was in a great location, close to Varenna, where other towns on the lake (Bellagio, Menaggio...) can easily be reached by ferry . Marilena was an amazing host. She picked us up at the train station and showed us what to see in Varenna. She was also very available throughout the stay. The house is very clean and has everything you need to cook. We would highly recommend the Camilla House for a memorable stay with stunning views on lake Como.
We loved our stay at Villa Varenna! Mauro and Paulo were wonderful hosts, and made us feel so welcomed. STRONGLY recommend you upgrade for the terrace room. The view of Lake Como and the Alps were magnificent. Waking up each morning, and having coffee on the terrace was a highlight of the trip. Mauro was so very helpful in telling us the best places to eat, Breakfast was lovely. Quiet area, even though were minutes from train station
Spacious room, comfy bed, nice kitchen - and gorgeous view of the lake and mountains from the window and the terrace. The town's center and ferry dock is close by, just a 5 minute walk and there's a nice store down the road. Oscar was very welcoming and helpful - explained about the lake attractions, left us the remote control for the parking. We loved Varenna (it's much prettier than Bellagio btw) and our stay at Residenza Decimina.
The property is in a prime location - 7 minutes walk from the Varenna Esimo train station and 3 minutes walk to the ferry. It is a lovely apartment, very clean and tidy, with lake view in the guest bedroom (the one with 2 single beds) and kitchen, and Mountain View in the master bedroom and living room. The host was very responsive to our questions before and during the stay. I highly recommend it to travelers to Lake Como!
Everything! A beautiful apartment in a stunning location. the view down the lake from the balcony was wonderful, everything I dreamed of when coming to Lake Como. The location is right in the middle of the attractions in Varenna, but also very quiet. Alexandro was an excellent host, very welcoming and helpful about everything you will need for your stay. waking up to the beautiful view from your bed was very special.
I'm very grateful for all the staff for making this stay perfect. People working in this hotel is simply incredible. Once again - thank you for your input and that extra mile.
The room was spacious with an incredible view to the lake (adding an effortless photo taken while sitting on the armchair). Also, hotel is very well located.
All in all - would definitely recommend staying in this hotel while in Varenna.
The Casa Mary window views looking north and south along Lake Como were fantastic. The location a block from the ferry dock in Varenna was so convenient. You could hop on a ferry and have lunch in Menaggio or Bellagio then return to Varenna before dark. The apartment was very cozy and clean. We were able to cook pasta and play Cascadia while drinking wine and enjoying the endless views.
Location is great. Easy access to harbor for ferries to visit other coasts. All tourist attractions at Varenna are close to hotel. Reception service was good and they took luggage to safe before check in. Room also has safety locker and the door to apartments stays locked all time so it feels safe. Air conditioner included. Breakfast included (although a bit basic). Pets are allowed.
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.
This was an excellent stay.
The location is amazing with the spectacular view of Lake Como. It is also close to restaurants and public transport. The apartment is spacious and clean and has everything you need.
Luca went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable stay. He was an epitome of Italian Hospitality.
Breakfast was enough to get you started for the day. The views were amazing which added to the whole experience of Lake Como and Varenna. The location was away from the main crowds but still had a lot of atmosphere with the buildings and facilities around. The lake view suite was ideal.
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!
We loved the location, it was close to all the amenities we needed. We were really happy with our choice of staying in Varenna and just visiting Bellagio instead of staying. Varenna and del duca was peaceful and beautiful!
Amazing breakfast and super friendly staff.
Easy to get from Milano Central station by train (+-1 hour drive) and the hotel is 10 minutes away on foot from Varenna train station.
Easy to access walking trails.
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!
5 star quality and service! highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for the beauty and luxury of lake como. Their lake view rooms are top notch, quiet and better than any picture. you will not regret!
The view was spectacular and it was a short walk to the Lake Como ferries. Breakfast was served in the restaurant downstairs. It is a lovely apartment and host was very helpful.
