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.
Offering a large terrace with spectacular views across Lake Como, Albergo Milano is a stylish hotel in the heart of Varenna.

The train system to get to Veranna was efficient and clean. The view from the room was delightful across the lake. Also the views to the villages from the boats are superb.

Everybody was so nice, professional and efficient. They all wanted to please you. Breakfast was delicious although I would have liked more vegan options. Tatiana is absolutely amazing at helping you with any issues or questions you have.

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 is superb - just a minute or two from the Varenna waterfront or the main square. I had 80 and 75 year old parents with me and they were able to enjoy the town without too much trouble (whereas many other accomodations are too far up the hill or too many steps). On more than one occasion when the weather turned I was able to quickly run up the steps from a waterside cafe to fetch my parents a cap or some sunscreen from the apartment and I'd be back sat down in a few minutes.
Host has a wine shop next door and welcomed my family of 5 (one of us stayed elsewhere) with a lovely glass of white wine each. Very nice way to start our trip. Also provided us with a discount on some wine purchases which we enjoyed drinking during some movie nights in the apartment (they had Netflix and Amazon Prime!).
Clean apartment and a nice view from one of the windows (can see the lake), while the others face down on the cobblestoned alleyway where you can watch the world go by.
Good instructions beforehand on locating and accessing the property - I communicated with the host on WhatsApp a few days ahead of my arrival. In the end I was able to access the apartment using the keysafe without any trouble, but after dropping my stuff off I ended up meeting the host at his wineshop next door not too long after.

Superb location and very helpful and friendly staff
Varenna is beautiful and we enjoyed it, but no taxis...
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!

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.
Outstanding location in Varenna. Easy walkability to various places around town. Lake Como view from balcony where we had our wine nightcaps. This property is associated with the In Vinis Veritas wine bar just around the corner. We were delayed getting to town because of train issues. As we walked by, the wine bar owner called out my name (must have recognized me from passport) and had us stop for a splash of sparkling wine before walking us to the apartment. We felt so welcome, like being greeted by friends. Casa Giada is a special place.
A charming hotel (and very busy restaurant) with well-designed rooms on Varenna's main square, a 10-minute walk uphill from the trains and ferries - best reached along the main road (rather than the waterside path) if you're walking with luggage. Very close to the town parking garage and the two garden villas as well. Bags can be left at reception until check-in time, and there's an elevator. Breakfast was very good, with eggs on request, and lovely smiley staff.
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.
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!)
The best stay I’ve ever had!
The location was perfect, offering stunning views of Lake Como and easy access to local attractions. The apartment was clean, well-equipped, and comfortably furnished. The host was incredibly welcoming and very helpful. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to experience the beauty and charm of Varenna.
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 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.
The location was excellent because we needed to be close to the Hotel Cipriessi because my daughter was holding her wedding there, and then being so close to the centre of Varenna was a bonus. We walked in the hills, found some excellent restaurants, caught the boats to other villages and had a wonderful time.
The hotel is really beautiful and pleasing to look at. The view from the balcony and from the restaurant is breathtaking. Honestly, the photos online doesn’t do it justice. The hotel is very well centred in Varenna and everything is within minutes walking distance. Staff were professional and accommodating.
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 !!
Small family run hotel in great location. The room was nice and very clean, the beds were comfortable and the staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was not huge, but everything we wanted was there. We will happily stay here again next time we’re in Varenna.
The terrace, the breakfast and the 6 star hotel level of service makes this hotel to one of the best experiences you can get. Varenn a is the most beautiful city around lake Como and this hotel makes the stay even more worth while
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)
Location is amazing. On the lake, with aweosme breakfast, quiet patio to relax with food or drinks for hotel Guests only. Easy walk from the train and great ferry access to bellagio.
The location was absolutely amazing. Varenna was a great town to stay in while at lake como and the view from the apartment was lovely. The hosts were very helpful and efficient too!
Beautiful area of Varenna. Near restaurants, walking paths, villas with gardens and views of Lake Como. Good breakfast, friendly staff, especially the lady who served us breakfast.
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.
Amazing location offering waterfront views of Lake Como and Varenna. The apartment was comfortable and clean. Definitely our hope is a return stay in the near future!
