Loved the huge balcony that had an amazing view of the lake and ferry dock. Loved that you could walk out the door just a few steps and get on ferry. Room was larger and clean, comfy bed. Great free breakfast. LOVED IT!

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!

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.
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. :)
We love the vibe at Hotel Beretta and the staff is the best, especially Barbara. If yo are looking for a luxury Lake Como place, go to Bellagio. We love Varenna more. The hotel location is great, close (5 min walk) to the train if you are traveling by train, close ( 5 minute walk) to the ferries if you want to use the ferries, close to the start of one of the trails to the castle (2 min walk), and a short walk from everything else. Next door is a grocery store. Hot water kettle in the room, if you want coffee, bring your own packets.
Ottilio responded immediately to our concerns. He asked his friend Lorenza to meet us at the parking lot and walked us down a minute to this complete & beautiful apartment. Lorenza gave us a thorough introduction to the apartment and Varenna. It has clothes washer, dishwasher, microwave, stove. Location is 1 minute from train station and parking, 5 minutes to lake and boats. Easy travel by boat to Bellagio and Menaggio. Home away from home! Proseco a welcome touch!
Thank you Ottilio and Lorenza for a beautiful stay in Varenna!

The staff: The staff at Villa Torretta is friendly and attentive. They are always happy to help you with anything you need, and they go out of their way to make sure that your stay is enjoyable.
We liked it all…we had a clean comfortable room with a view of Lake Como (we were in the suite), the food at the restaurant was amazing and the staff the best of any of our stays in Italy. This was the last 2 nights of our two week trip and it was hard to leave. Varenna is unassuming but easy to get to via train or ferry. We took the train from Milan and walked to the hotel from the station (maybe a half mile) - doable. If we could give the staff a 10, we would! 🙂
Amazing hotel & thank you once again for another amazing stay. We have been coming to Varenna for many years & this is the only place we will stay.
Barbara is so lovely & welcoming & the hotel is so unbelievably clean. All the staff are so friendly & the café is lovely also, with great coffee & a great selection of pasties.
Walking distance from the train station, approximately 1 minute.
A little gem of a hotel on Lake Como, our favourite place.
We were based in the nearby partner hotel Beretta not Montecodeno which was easy to get to by train, a short walk from Varenna train station.
We had the family room which was a good size with a balcony and close to the lake, and although basic it was fine for us.
Good breakfast.
Although it is over a bar, the bar wasn't open late so no noise at night, apart from Saturday night when there was some music late from an adjacent property.
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!
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!)
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)
The room with the terrace has unbeatable view. Varenna is a great place to stay -beautiful, charming, walkable, super well connected (train /ferries). The hotel staff was very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant has view over the lake. The rooms are old style but clean and very comfortable. Bathroom was recently renovated.
This was an excellent stay.
The location is amazing with the spectacular view of Lake Como. It is also close to restaurants and public transport. The apartment is spacious and clean and has everything you need.
Luca went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable stay. He was an epitome of Italian Hospitality.
Fantastic location overlooking Lake Como. Nice large bedroom and bathroom. Very friendly and accommodating staff. I particularly enjoyed watching the hustle and bustle of the ferry port right across from the hotel, but once the balcony doors were closed the room was very quiet.
Very picturesque location looking out over Lake Como. Great walking path into the centre of Varenna, which took about 40 minutes. Lucca was very helpful at check-in, and there was free parking right outside the apartment. It was very quiet and peaceful!
Fabulous location. Breathtaking views of Lake Como. At the heart of Varenna.... Breakfast at the restaurant below was good too.
Host/manager Leo was super helpful ( Best English speaking host in Italy)
Loved the hotel, especially our balcony overlooking the lake! Such a beautiful location. Our host Mauro was very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend Villa Varenna as a destination spot!
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.

Heart opening view of Lake Como. The town of Varenna is easy to get around, friendly and pleasing. Good for the soul.
Giada is cheerful and helpful taking special care of us.
Large room, comfortable bed with an amazing lake view. Hotel is in a great location, close to everything in Varenna and opposite the ferry stop. Breakfast was nice.
Our host, Roberto, was amazing. He was accommodating in anything we needed. The view of Lake Como was so beautiful. The apartment was spacious and very clean.
most beautiful view in all of Varenna, and possibly all of Lake Como. Clean and comfortable place with everything you need to have a fun and calming vacation.
