    Everyone was nice and friendly, easy check-in/check-out. Hotel is very clean, convenient and in good location. Breakfast included is a plus. Don’t mind to stay again.

    If you choose to walk from the ferry be prepared to climb a flight of stairs to get to the hotel. Our room/bed were small but the balcony was gorgeous.

    The location is right on the square with a huge clock tower. Beautiful view from the balcony. Gluten free options were available with the breakfast included.

    Recognizing that this is a tiny hotel, I was surprised at the size of the room. I was however a single traveler and didn’t really require much more.

    Staff is excellent. Warm, caring people who show top flight interest in the guest

    The room was dusty and cobwebs on the ceiling and floor under the tables, we were coughing everytime we are inside the room.

    The staff was exceptional! The manager, Gaudete and the kitchen staff, Arada!

    Roof balcony was closed in ( no view) but we think that was because it was third floor and high up.

    Cute place with great local restaurant at the front- very good food. 3rd floor room was atticy but very well appointed, comfortable, and clean with everything needed. Beautiful location on a piazza with deli and churches. History everywhere, loved it.

    Although no lake view, the staff more than makes up for it. In particular, kudos to the lady at breakfast. Thank you for giving us a great start to the day. Your smile and attentiveness every morning makes for a great day. Not to mention, breakfast was good too.

    Nice hotel right next to the church and few mins from Villa Monastero. We stayed in the ‘suite’ so had a nice view of Lago di Como. There is a restaurant downstairs so you have the option to eat there as well, which we made use of.

    We did think that the mattress on the bed could do with changing.

    Location of this hotel is fantastic for a stay in Varenna. Authentic Italian style hotel. Rooms are quite basic but that didn't bother us. Very clean and offered to clean after one night but we declined. Breakfast is fine.

    The bed was really two mattresses put together and a little hard. The left shutter on the window of our room (#5) would stay open so to see the view we had to hold it open. Neither a big deal. We had a great stay.

    It was about a 12 minute walk from the train station. There were some stairs, cobblestone alleys and road. The location is great with easy access to everything. Breakfast was great and the hotel restaurant is open from 12 until. All of the staff was friendly and even made a reservation for us for dinner one night at a hard to get restaurant. Would recommend!

    Room was very small…Wifi was ‘spotty’ ….if going to Varenna by train it’s difficult to get to this hotel. Winding road from train station and then 1 km hike up a hill to the hotel. Definitely not for mobility impaired if not travelling by car. Booking.com states ‘less than 100 metres from the Lake’ which is certainly not correct and should include that it is high above the lake and the ferry stop.

    Comfortable bed, great breakfast and service from Rada. Very good Italian home cooked style meals.
