Super close to the train station. Literally next to the exit with just 1 min walk. It’s also a close walking distance to the pier to hop on the boat to other islands. The place is very nice, cozy and modern. Well cleaned. Sofa bed is very comfortable and big unlike other places. There’s snack (biscuits, macaron), tea and water to welcome us. There’s a microwave in the kitchen with all the kitchenware. Bathroom is well equipped with amenities. Water pressure is strong. The owner is also super nice and helpful. He stood in front of the place to make sure we find the place. When we msg him to ask something at night, he offered to come by to help and we’re very glad.

Varenna Boulevard, hotel in Varenna

Varenna Boulevard is located in Varenna. Free WiFi is included throughout the property.

Location is superb - just a minute or two from the Varenna waterfront or the main square. I had 80 and 75 year old parents with me and they were able to enjoy the town without too much trouble (whereas many other accomodations are too far up the hill or too many steps). On more than one occasion when the weather turned I was able to quickly run up the steps from a waterside cafe to fetch my parents a cap or some sunscreen from the apartment and I'd be back sat down in a few minutes. Host has a wine shop next door and welcomed my family of 5 (one of us stayed elsewhere) with a lovely glass of white wine each. Very nice way to start our trip. Also provided us with a discount on some wine purchases which we enjoyed drinking during some movie nights in the apartment (they had Netflix and Amazon Prime!). Clean apartment and a nice view from one of the windows (can see the lake), while the others face down on the cobblestoned alleyway where you can watch the world go by. Good instructions beforehand on locating and accessing the property - I communicated with the host on WhatsApp a few days ahead of my arrival. In the end I was able to access the apartment using the keysafe without any trouble, but after dropping my stuff off I ended up meeting the host at his wineshop next door not too long after.

    Perfect location for using the train.

    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! 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!

    We very much enjoyed our stay at the Camilla House. The house was in a great location, close to Varenna, where other towns on the lake (Bellagio, Menaggio...) can easily be reached by ferry . Marilena was an amazing host. She picked us up at the train station and showed us what to see in Varenna. She was also very available throughout the stay. The house is very clean and has everything you need to cook. We would highly recommend the Camilla House for a memorable stay with stunning views on lake Como.

    This was a wonderful place to stay for our three nights in Varenna! Our lovely hosts, Maria and Pietro, met us at the station and gave us a ride to the apartment, which was furnished with binders of suggestions for our time on Lake Como. The apartment was beautiful, comfortable, and centrally located (do be aware that there is no other staff or mid-stay cleaning/towel swap). No AC, but it was very cool at night and there was a powerful fan.

    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.

    The Casa Mary window views looking north and south along Lake Como were fantastic. The location a block from the ferry dock in Varenna was so convenient. You could hop on a ferry and have lunch in Menaggio or Bellagio then return to Varenna before dark. The apartment was very cozy and clean. We were able to cook pasta and play Cascadia while drinking wine and enjoying the endless views.

    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!

    There had been a landslide in the area so train travel was limited. The host/hotel concierge was very helpful in providing needed information that helped us make connections with train and boats. The hotel restaurant served excellent fish from Lake Como. A lovely location in the town square of Varenna and picturesque establishment.

    Charming boutique hotel on the lovely Piazza San Giorgio. Perfect way to avoid the big crowds along the water, but only a five minute walk to everything. Lovely restaurant on site and great gelato right across the street. 300 m or so from the train station. Very friendly staff and the rooms were immaculate. Great find!

    The hotel is really beautiful and pleasing to look at. The view from the balcony and from the restaurant is breathtaking. Honestly, the photos online doesn’t do it justice. The hotel is very well centred in Varenna and everything is within minutes walking distance. Staff were professional and accommodating.
