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.

Good breakfast. I recon it’s very good value.

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.

Attilio met us at the door to welcome us and explain everything, he was really nice and helpful. The location was truly amazing. Convenient two minute walk from the train station so you don't have to carry luggage up/down into the other parts of town. The main attractions are only a 10 minute walk away. The place looks to be freshly renovated and they thought about all the little details for a comfortable stay. The best accommodation we stayed in during our trip around Italy. The sofa bed is well.. a sofa bed so not the most comfortable sleep, but it does accommodate an extra person or two. There is a separate bedroom with a double bed which was very comfortable. It also has an outdoor area, which is lovely. We truly loved staying there and wish we had longer. Thank you for everything

Beautiful view from our room, perfect stay in Varenna!
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!
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!
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

An AMAZING location for staying in Varenna. 2 minutes walk to the rock beach to swim/lay out, 5 minutes walk to the train, and maybe a 10 minute walk to the main square / more historic downtown area. A great location to use as a base for enjoying lake Como (can take a Ferry to Bellagio and other cities on the lake) but also day-tripping to other nearby cities (Bergamo, Milan, etc). The staff was very nice and helpful, and loved having a view of the lake from my balcony.
A charming hotel (and very busy restaurant) with well-designed rooms on Varenna's main square, a 10-minute walk uphill from the trains and ferries - best reached along the main road (rather than the waterside path) if you're walking with luggage. Very close to the town parking garage and the two garden villas as well. Bags can be left at reception until check-in time, and there's an elevator. Breakfast was very good, with eggs on request, and lovely smiley staff.
The hotel is traditional Italian and welcoming, with a historical feel to the place which you can't fake - it's authentic Varenna. It's quirky but really gorgeous and we had an amazing view from our room with a balcony across the lake. If you like brand new, plate glass and steel hotels with 200 different things for breakfast, this isn't for you, but if you want to see old world charm and step back in time and stay somewhere memorable, this is the place.
We enjoyed our stay here. Everything in the apartment was a bit dated, but clean and in good condition. The apartment included the use of not one, but three terraces, each with increasingly better views of Varenna and Lake Como. Wow. Enzo and Antonella were great hosts. This is a private apartment on the lowest level of their home, but it did have a separate entrance. The washing machine worked well, and they had a drying rack for us to use.
EVERYTHING! The room was amazing ! Big,comfortable, very clean and with lovely design.
The personal was very polite and understanding,they had answerd all of our questions and made our stay amazing!
We had breakfast included in the price and it was delicious.
The hotel is in the center of Varenna and everything is 5 mins walking distance-The Lake Como with all restaurants, the magnificent villa Monastero.
For sure we want to come again!
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.
Everything about b&b il bolentino varenna is phenomenal. place is located in short walking distance to varenna esino train-station and ferry ride to bellagio ,como and other side of lake . famous villa monastero is in 10 minutes walking distance. restaurant and cafe are all around.Surrounded by beautiful view of lake .They serves very nice and huge breakfast. you will not regret in staying this place .
Location is unbelievable like something out of a movie. Beautiful views of Lake Como from the house and 3 separate outside deck/viewing areas. This place is a villa with tall ceilings and in some cases marble floors. Very spacious. Nice large kitchen with glasses and pots/pans etc. The patio just outside the kitchen has a running stream that was awesome and very calming.
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!)
The room with the terrace has unbeatable view. Varenna is a great place to stay -beautiful, charming, walkable, super well connected (train /ferries). The hotel staff was very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant has view over the lake. The rooms are old style but clean and very comfortable. Bathroom was recently renovated.
Great location but would have struggled without a car. Views were spectacular from the apartment . The only facility missing was air con which made sleeping really uncomfortable as we stayed during a heatwave and temperstures reached over 45°c. Varenna and Bellagio were beautiful.
Beautiful grounds & rooms in the perfect location above Villa Monastero. Sweeping views from every angle! MG was the best host & friend we’ve ever met while traveling - he made us feel right at home & helped us have the perfect Lake Como experience.
We stayed at Hotel Beretta. Large room with excellent balcony. Renovated hotel so the room was modern and comfortable. Very good air conditioning. Central location to the train and ferry. The breakfast was standard.
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.
