Pretty Home

Varenna

"The apartment was very clean, well equipped and nicely decorated. The sky lights let in lots of natural light. One downside was there is a business working half way up the stairs and I’m pretty sure they filet fish and the smell in the stairwell was horrible. There is a big industrial fan blowing rotten fish smell in the stairwell as you walk by which was nauseating. Otherwise we were happy with the stay."

Top Varenna Hotel Reviews

B&B Hotel Como City Center

8/10 Good

"La chambre était petite mais il ne manquait qu’une petite table près du lit. C’était minimaliste mais efficace?"

Seven Park Hotel Lake Como - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"What a great place to stay on Lake Como. First, the amenities at this hotel were awesome. Between the included, amazing breakfast buffet and the free use of the spa for hotel guests in the evening, we felt like millionaires. Also, the location of this hotel is perfect. It is right on the lake, but in a small town that isn't overrun with tourists. We could take the lake ferry to the tourist towns, but then come back to peace and quiet."

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Ibis Como was excellent. The hotel is very well located, just a 10-minute drive from Lake Como and surrounded by numerous restaurants and shopping centers. Free parking is available, which was a great advantage for us. The room was clean, comfortable, and met all our expectations. Breakfast starts at 6:30 AM, which was very convenient for our schedule, although the variety of options could be improved. The hotel is also only a 30-minute drive from Fiera Milano, making it an ideal choice for business travelers. Having a car is highly recommended. Overall, we had a great stay and would happily return."

Hotel Funicolare

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay. We were there just after the season ended so the restaurant had sadly just closed. But the town was still lovely, we were able to get food easily. The front desk attendants were always very helpful and nice and the hotel was lovely. The view is unmatched. Honestly I am still thinking about sitting out on the balcony looking out at the mountains and the lake."
