Absolutely lovely small hotel directly on Lake Como in Varenna. We loved our small but very well equipped room and bathroom. Loved the “ rain shower”. Nice balcony with beautiful views.
Excellent breakfast in a stunning setting. Excellent service, too.
An excellent, quieter option when visiting Lake Como. The staff were great and our 2nd floor balcony room overlooking the lake was fantastic. I highly recommend this hotel.

Beautiful location. Close to many fine dining and shops. Close to Ferry. Would come again
Beautiful property with great scenery and close to everything around. Small village but worth it. Private dock for our boat tour via Expedia. Friendly staff.
The property is beautiful, but what really stood out was the staff and level of service. All of the staff were extremely attentive, friendly, and helpful. We had dinner in the restaurant one night and did the tasting menu with wine pairing. Everything was incredible. Such a relaxing stay. I would gladly go back.
We loved this Hotel bc it was right in the middle of the piazza. So many fabulous bistros, cafes and restaurants. The house cleaners were great as was the staff in general.

While the property is beautiful the rooms are not $700 per night worthy. They are barren, bathrooms very tiny, air conditioning barely worked. The balcony was wonderful however we've started at other properties with balconies with views and have spent considerably less, even in high demand areas.
Beautiful hotel in Varenna. View from the property is amazing. Breakfast was excellent. Staff is friendly. Rooms are small but offer all the amenities you might need. Several restaurants are close by as well as a church and a bakery.

This is a gorgeous place to stay with beautiful views of Lake Como. The service and quality is impeccable. Fabulous breakfast and all the staff are so helpful. It’s in a great location in Piazza san Giorgio. Close to everything and many restaurants.
