Located in the historical heart of Varenna, Casa Contrada Bella is a traditional stone house with wooden beams, wrought-iron beds, and free WiFi. It is close to shops and restaurants, and a short walk from the lake shores.

This beautiful property is located literally a few steps from Varenna's historical town square and is so convenient to go anywhere. Varenna's two landmark villas and famous lakeside promenade are only a couple of minutes walk from this property and the ferry terminal is just 10 minutes walk along the gorgeous promenade. We stayed in the Blue Room and absolutely loved it. Everything (bed, furniture, TV, shower, toilet, etc.) Is brand-new and the room is so beautifully decorated, airy, and very chic. The room is also so squeaky clean, which is important during the pandemic, and we loved the high ceiling, which made the room feel even larger. Special thanks goes to Diana, who owns this property. She is so kind. She took care of us well and made our stay in Varenna extra special. If we can return to Varenna again, we will go back to Diana's property in a heartbeat. Grazie mille, Diana!!!

CHIAVE DI VOLTA Lovely Guesthouse with Terrace provides rooms in Varenna. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service.

Best location EVER! Steps from all the shops and restaurants, just off the water, a few minutes walk to the ferry. If you want to have easy access to all the best things in Varenna and you don't need a fancy hotel but a nice clean room with a private bathroom with a cute shared kitchen this is the perfect spot! The room was a good size and was ideal for us, I could not have been happier!

Gli oleandri is set on the lakefront in Bellano, 4 km from Varenna. Guests can enjoy mountain views.

At the guest house, the rooms come with a wardrobe and a flat-screen TV. Each room comes with a private bathroom.

Would highly recommend! Bellano is a lovely town with beautiful scenery. The hosts were great and didn't mind us arriving late. The view from the room is 10 out of 10 - you can hear the water from Lake Como (but nothing else). I'll be back again :)

Located in Griante, Casa Pini offers a garden and accommodation with mountain views. The shores of Lake Como are 600 metres away.

Rooms at the Pini all come with wooden floors, a sofa and fan. The private bathroom includes a hairdryer and free toiletries.

We loved everything about this accommodation! The staff were great and very helpful. The hostess was very accommodating asking how everything was and gave us recommendations. The room was well equipped if you wanted to eat in. The outdoor area was lovely and all rooms had a private dining table. But my favourite was having the cats and turtles and dog who were around the place from time to time!

    Valerio and family met us at the train station and helped with bags and transportation to accommodation, the apartment was very clean and the facilities were very comfortable. The apartment is in great location, 3 minute walk from the train station and very close to ferry terminal. Varenna was our favourite location on the lake, Valerio and family were great hosts and made our stay all the more enjoyable, I highly recommend this apartment to families or couples travelling together.

    Sina was a great host and went out of his way to ensure we had a comfortable stay! We had amazing views overlooking the lake, and breakfast was served each morning in the restaurant downstairs. Beautiful roomy apartment, well equipped, and location was 10/10.

    Everything was perfect. Location is in quiet neighbourhood, the view is really amazing. The house itself has everything you need. It’s very warm and cozy place with the parking right next to the house. Massimo is the great host, he had made everything you feel like at home. Definitely we will return back there. And yes, you’d better have some car to make your stay more enjoyable.
