Wondering place to stay!
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.

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.

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.
