Varenna

"Incredible apartment which made our stay in beautiful Varenna so enjoyable. The host was great in being helpful, super responsive. We loved our stay. The location is the best as it is centrally located and even more within a few steps (literally) of several great restaurants, wine bar and the water area. My wife and I just loved our visit and will definitely reserve this apartment for our next visit. Highly recommended!"

"My husband and I had such a wonderful time staying here! We arrived and were greeted by the property manager who was very kind and showed us everything we needed. Sergio also checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. He also left a bottle of champagne for us which was very nice! The property was absolutely amazing and the views were incredible. I would highly recommend staying here, it was so cozy and relaxing, we will definitely be back!!"

Top Varenna Hotel Reviews

Hotel Royal Victoria - by R Collection Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here recently for 1 night and the staff were extremely helpful from check in to check out. We enjoyed an evening meal and breakfast in the hotel which were both exquisite. The room was brilliant with a lovely view of the lake. We will be returning. Cannot recommend enough. "

Albergo Terminus Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at the hotel were all SO wonderful and kind and helpful. The ladies at the front desk helped us with all of our needs. From bus schedules to things to do. The room itself was clean and spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable. We had a king sized bed (which is rare in Europe). Breakfast every morning was delicious. The location is perfect. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay!"

Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room seemed a bit dated but some renovations had happened to the bathroom. The room was clean and bed was nice. The breakfast was worth getting with a decent selection and views of the lake available. The gym was fairly decent however some of the machines needed some maintenance due to issues with the cables when using. Staff were helpful when we had questions and called a taxi for us on departure. "

Il Perlo Panorama

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was cute, with good views from the restaurant. The staff was nice. It is up on the hill, so the town is not easily accessible. What is not listed, and should be, is how to get to the hotel. Uber, Lyft, public transportation was not an option for us. But, I called the hotel and they have a free shuttle. There was nothing on the listing as it would have been helpful to know. The shuttle is free and takes you to and from town."
