    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.

    So easy and cost effective to get to Varenna from the main train stations in Milan. Also, very easy to get from Malpensa airport to central Milan, with trains every half hour or so. Varenna is lovely, with absolutely loads of restaurants and bars to choose from at sensible prices and the views across the lake are stunning.

    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.

    Outstanding location in Varenna. Easy walkability to various places around town. Lake Como view from balcony where we had our wine nightcaps. This property is associated with the In Vinis Veritas wine bar just around the corner. We were delayed getting to town because of train issues. As we walked by, the wine bar owner called out my name (must have recognized me from passport) and had us stop for a splash of sparkling wine before walking us to the apartment. We felt so welcome, like being greeted by friends. Casa Giada is a special place.

    We love the vibe at Hotel Beretta and the staff is the best, especially Barbara. If yo are looking for a luxury Lake Como place, go to Bellagio. We love Varenna more. The hotel location is great, close (5 min walk) to the train if you are traveling by train, close ( 5 minute walk) to the ferries if you want to use the ferries, close to the start of one of the trails to the castle (2 min walk), and a short walk from everything else. Next door is a grocery store. Hot water kettle in the room, if you want coffee, bring your own packets.

    Charming location with wonderful views of Lake Como. When I was told that the swimming pool was closed and challenged this on the basis that we chose this hotel because it had a swimming pool they obliged and immediately cleaned all the tables and opened up - commendable. Food delicious - best tiramisu we have ever tasted! Lovely breakfast room with great views. Welcome gift on arrival of Prosecco and strawberries in our Suite and gift of water and mints on departure - lovely touches.

    This is a 1 star hotel. It provides a comfortable stay in a very convenient location with 1 star service. In my opinion, this was not cheap (110 per night for 1 person on a weekday with no breakfast. This is not a place for a special occasion, but is a bed in a decent size room a few minutes walk from ferry/train/centre. Varenna itself is pretty, but better to visit than stay in. Restaurants are busy/pre-booked abd over priced. Hotels the same.

    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.

    I recomand this wonderful place. I had a large and clean room with a beautiful view of Lake Como. The pictures of the room reflect the reality. Very kind staff at the reception and housekeeping. The location is near the ferry and 10 minutes to the train station Varenna Esino. Decent breakfast. They have also a nice bar where you have drink. We will be back. It's our favourite place at Lake Como. Thank you for everything.

    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.

    A beautiful apartment with a stunning panoramic view of the lake, we had several hotel stays on our trip & this was definitely our highlight. We were greeted punctually by the owner who showed us in & gave advice on restaurants, boat trips, taxis etc. A large comfortable apartment in the perfect place to explore Varenna. 2 min stroll down steps to cafes, restaurants & the view!

    This apartment was beautiful and in a perfect location close to restaurants, shopping and the shores of Lake Como and ferry in Varenna. We could walk to everything, and yet it was very quiet! There was an awesome view out the windows also of the lake and mountains! I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting the City of Varenna on Lake Como!

    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.

    The location was excellent because we needed to be close to the Hotel Cipriessi because my daughter was holding her wedding there, and then being so close to the centre of Varenna was a bonus. We walked in the hills, found some excellent restaurants, caught the boats to other villages and had a wonderful time.
