It was a very short walk from the train station which was really convenient for making the most out of our trip. We had the most amazing view of the lake and mountains from the superior double lake view room. We still can not get over it! Very old Italian decor throughout the hotel. We highly recommend the breakfast, it was delicious! An array of croissants and continental foods to choose from with eggs and pancakes to freshly order. It was so useful having the ferry port right opposite as we were able to buy our ferry tickets first thing without queuing. We could hear the ferry announcements from our room but it did not disturb us when the doors were shut. The staff were so friendly and happy to assist and look after our luggage on our last day.

The location, the helpfulness of Irena on reception, the size of the room and the free shuttle to the station. The breakfast was impressive but see below (in section - what didn’t you like about the property)

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.

Elisa is extremely kind to relocate us to another of her room right at the centre of Varenna as there was vacancy and the view of lake como from the balcony and rooftop was stunning! It was a perfect stay with free toiletries, hairdryer etc. and great breakfast! (honestly rare to see free breakfast provided so definitely a plus point)

Location and good size of room. Very good breakfast
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!
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!
This a cute old fashioned hotel in a great location in Varenna. The rooms have interesting mismatched antique furniture. Our rooms had beautiful lake views. The breakfast was ample with eggs made to order. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is simple not luxurious but suited our needs well. You can walk along the lake a short distance to many good dining options, including the hotels own restaurant next door. It was very hot during our stay and the hotel had good AC for most of the day. They supply 2 bottles of water daily.
Everything. I was totally in love with the place.
They were really loving to us, i felt i was home. Will totally recommend this place if you want to go to Lago di Como (Varenna). If you go by train, when you arrive you can see the hotel just in front of you. It is really close to everything you can walk. Mauro and his wife explain everything to us.
I really miss the place, i almost cried haha.
Kind regards to Mauro, his wife and the dog Roosvelt

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.
We loved everything about the hotel! We didn't include breakfasts with our booking, but chose to have our coffee, pastry and (freshly squeezed) orange juice there every morning, because the atmosphere was so relaxed and friendly. We've only been back in England for one day, and are missing it already! We had a great holiday in Varenna, and Hotel Beretta played a big part in making it a really special holiday. Many thanks to all the staff!
Spacious room, comfy bed, nice kitchen - and gorgeous view of the lake and mountains from the window and the terrace. The town's center and ferry dock is close by, just a 5 minute walk and there's a nice store down the road. Oscar was very welcoming and helpful - explained about the lake attractions, left us the remote control for the parking. We loved Varenna (it's much prettier than Bellagio btw) and our stay at Residenza Decimina.
The property is in a prime location - 7 minutes walk from the Varenna Esimo train station and 3 minutes walk to the ferry. It is a lovely apartment, very clean and tidy, with lake view in the guest bedroom (the one with 2 single beds) and kitchen, and Mountain View in the master bedroom and living room. The host was very responsive to our questions before and during the stay. I highly recommend it to travelers to Lake Como!
It was the perfect location in the quiet town of Varenna. We loved our balcony view, the access to the botanical gardens and the incredible sunsets. The staff was exceptional. Marco helped us with a booking we made via another resource. For other travelers, please allow this hotel to manage your experiences! They have access to more at better pricing. We overpaid by not booking through the hotel.
The apartment Casa Tri Archi was very fresh and comfortable. Both apartments Casa Tri Archi and Casa Gialla was located in central Varenna, close to the hotel reception and restaurant. The view from the hotel terrass, where the breakfast was served, was stunning. The hotel provided towels for going to the beach, which was a nice detail. Casa Tri Archi had a nice balcony.
We fall in love with this cute house near to Lake Como. It's a charming place with green door, huge bed and large terrace, where you can eat your breakfast with beautiful view. Also, we recommend the whole Varenna city, which is one of the prettiest towns on the lake. Contact with the host was very good, it turned out to be helpful. Grazie!
The location of the hotel is ideally situated within a short walk from the Varenna train station and the ferry points to visit other locations on Lake Como and further afield. The room was as pictured ideal for a single person and the brekfast which was included with the booking was also good.
Location is perfect to town, ferry, train and restaurants!! Clean and staff is so friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel Beretta and I hope some day to come back!! Thank you to everyone at Hotel Beretta for making our visit to Varenna a wonderful 4 day holiday !!
We had the suite and it was incredible. The view from our balcony was phenomenal! The room was comfortable, the staff were fantastic, we couldn’t have asked for a better location on the lake. If you’re going to Lake Como, Hotel Royal Victoria is the only place you need to stay!
After staying in hotels for most of the trip, it was wonderful to stay in an apartment with all facilities. Has view over Lake Como. Communication with the manager was very good to access keys and providing link to the ferry schedule.
We loved our stay in Varenna and Casa Garden was an ideal place to stay. Great service from Alberto and a wonderful property offering an amazing terrace on the lake. A real oasis after a busy day at Lake Como.
The hotel is small but very nice. The location is excellent, in the center of Varenna, near the lake. Rooms are extremly clean.
The hotel owner - Diana - is just an amazing person.
