Hotel Montecodeno, hotel in Varenna

Located in Varenna and only 3 minutes on foot from Lake Como, Hotel Montecodeno is very close to a ferry boat stop. It offers free WiFi and rooms with views of the garden and mountains.

Perfect location Very friendly staff at the front desk However the room didn’t meet up to expectations and can be better. The flooring is quite poor , the bed was nothing to write home about.

Varenna Sweet Home, hotel in Varenna

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.

    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!

    Easy walk about town.

    Easy walk about town. Wear good walking shoes steps are steep and not always a handrail. Beautiful gardens and scenery. Easy hop on a ferry to go to the other towns. Hike up to the castle is 30 min. I would have felt more comfortable with a walking stick. Make sure to have water.

    Picturesque and just charming. Loved the waterfront, walking on the bridge, flowers, vibe and restaurants on the water. Ferry efficient and pleasant, easy to access other towns. Food superb at Nilas - great, friendly waitress - perfect spot on the lake. Ensure you have plenty gelato. :)

    Charming location with wonderful views of Lake Como. When I was told that the swimming pool was closed and challenged this on the basis that we chose this hotel because it had a swimming pool they obliged and immediately cleaned all the tables and opened up - commendable. Food delicious - best tiramisu we have ever tasted! Lovely breakfast room with great views. Welcome gift on arrival of Prosecco and strawberries in our Suite and gift of water and mints on departure - lovely touches.

    The Villa it was simply perfect! The location, room, view, everything! We are coming back soon for sure! It's close to everything you need and want to see. The host Roberto is the best, he helped us from the train station and drove us to Varenna anytime we needed. He even took us to see the whole lake by boat. The experience was beautiful and writing this makes me want to book the next trip already. Lake Como, the villa and Roberto is worth visiting more than once

    Everything. The location. The views of Lake Como, with a private balcony, were unparralled. The included breakfast was fantastic. It is a 5 min walk to the ferry, a 2 min walk to the main area by the water with bars, has it's on restaurant and bar. The staff, particularly Tatiana, was fantastic. Some of the most helpful, warm, friendly, people I've ever met. they also have their own parking lot.

    The whole experience of staying at Casa Pergola was fantastic starting from the moment we were greeted at the railway station by Alberto. The location of Casa Pergola is perfect. Varenna is a beautiful place to stay. Alberto provided us with places to eat, visit and explore. We recommend this property to anyone who is looking to visit and stay at this location on Lake Como.

    The views of Lake Como were amazing! It was so beautiful and made it worth the stay at this place. The room was nice and spacious with a full kitchen and bathroom. It was about a 10 min walk to the city of Varenna and a little less to the ferry. We were able to spend a lot of time in Varenna while also exploring Bellagio and Menaggio. (Also images are from the balcony!)

    Staying with Renata and Antonio was like staying with Nonna and Nonno. They were charming and friendly. They take pride in being good hosts. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was tasty. The location was ideal for exploring Varenna, and easy access to the ferries for seeing the rest of Lake Como.
