Varenna hotels

Pros: Location was good. Room was simple but clean and neat.

Cons: The owner Flavio was very helpful during our stay, but at the time of checkout there was a mistake regarding the bill, he entered a wrong amount (wrong decimal) on the card machine and when we pointed it out he got quite aggressive and his tone of voice changed quite rapidly as he felt as if we were accusing him of cheating. He then repeated the process but he wasn't happy that we pointed it out and did it in a very rushed and hurried manner and his behaviour flustered us. This left a sour taste in our mouths after an excellent stay.

Pros: Everything ran very smoothly. Flavio, the owner, was excellent and very good with communications so we knew exactly what we were doing regarding getting into apartment as we arrived very late at night. He also gave us good advice regarding places to eat. The apartment was super and everything you could possibly need was there. The location was perfect and we would definitely hope to stay here again. Will also tell family and friends. Bellagio is a beautiful place and the people are very friendly and helpful. Loved it.

Cons: There was nothing about Residence Il Borgo not to like.

Pros: Flavio was incredibly helpful and met me at the ferry port to show me how to get to the apartment. He helped me with my luggage and pointed out good restaurants along the way. Apartment itself was in a great central location and as expected and clean and comfortable.

Cons: Bed squeaked and not as comfortable and walls/floors were thin because I could hear the people upstairs.

Pros: The location was perfect, the apartment was clean and comfortable. It was close to restaurants, shops and the ferry terminal. Our hosts Flavio and Sylvia were welcoming and friendly and were knowledgeable about which restaurants had gluten free options. The apartment had everything we needed for our stay and it was lovely to hear the sound of the church bells each morning as we sat with the balcony doors open having breakfast. We will definitely be back!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Everything is great. The owner is friendly ready to help you with any information you need, the room is clean and the bed comfortable, and the location is great right in the heart of Bellagio. I'll come back here for sure.

Pros: Flavio was a great & helpful Host. Clean & Spacious apartment. easily accommodated 3 adults & a toddler. Location of the Apartment was awesome ( but no lake view).

Cons: Wifi was a little erratic & slow.

Pros: centrally located in Bellagio. steps away from the shops and restaurants. Best part was the friendliness and welcoming of owner Flavio. He couldn't be more helpful, informative, and kind to accommodate our arrival. Driving into Bellagio was rough because of windy small roads but after we settled in comfortably as if we lived there.

Pros: Nothing to say except Great! and Thanks! Go there, you'll see what I mean.

Pros: This is a family run business. The family goes out of their wat to accommodate their guests.

Pros: First and foremost, the hosts are absolutely amazing, they welcomed us with such warmth and made us feel at home immediately. They went out of their way to make us comfortable. Even checked us in early. They always smiled and gave us their full attention every time we had a question or request. Huge thanks to you guys again. Then is the view from the property....it is absolutely gorgeous. You get a view of the lake, the Alps. I really enjoyed and found it so relaxing sipping my coffee sitting out in the balcony. Rooms are very clean and charming. Breakfast is delicious and fresh. We drove from Milan, so were able to explore the area in car, it’s fun if you enjoy driving. Ferry to Bellagio and Varenna is nearby. Will surely stay here again. Overall an excellent experience.

Pros: Staff very accommodating and good balance of evening meals.

Cons: Nothing really.

Pros: Extensive buffet- staff even prepared scrambled eggs upon request! Very polite& quick to help with suggested activities & directions. Warm, friendly & welcoming. Fabulous views-

Pros: The staff goes above and beyond to help with whatever you need. My friend from America forgot an adapter and the staff loaned her one. They had great recommendations for where we should go and provided maps and ferry schedules.

Cons: It’s hard to get to town from the property but they do have a shuttle that goes down twice per day during winter months.

Pros: The views It is also a family owned establishment providing a personal touch The restaurant has a magnificent menu

Cons: There wasn’t anything that we did not like

Pros: Great place, great staff, delicious breakfast, great views, silence and clean air. Highly recommended for couples.

Cons: Narrow roads to the hotel

Pros: The location is wonderful - set back from the bustle but close enough to use as a base - with a free hotel shuttle into the local town (which takes about 5mins!) - we also walked the route to the town which was also very pleasant. The views are to die for!!! The room was very comfy and we went for a suite which was definitely worth the extra as the view was uninterrupted and incredible! The staff were all so helpful and friendly, and were always keen to make sure that we had everything we needed. Breakfast was very reasonable and offered a reasonable spread (considering the hotel size) which set us up well for the day!

Cons: N/a

Pros: The location of the resort was perfect as it was away from the old town Bellagio, yet convenient by way of daily shuttle van. The included breakfast was an added bonus. The hotel staff were extremely knowledgeable and offered recommendations for dinner and daily excursions. Liked being able to do some laundry during our lengthy vacation.

Cons: Can't think of anything! We enjoyed our stay!

Pros: Great Lake view, private car parking, shuttle to the city Center and back, clean and large lake facing rooms.

Cons: Neighbours dogs were barking endlessly all day and often all night. Could be a problem for rooms located at that end of the property.

Pros: The location was stunning with a great view everywhere of Lake Como. The room was perfect with panoramic water views where we could sit and watch the ferries and other boats pass plus the sunrise and sunset. It is also out of the Centre of Bellagio therefore it's quiet but a convenient shuttle bus gets you to and from town if you don't want to tackle the windy roads. Breakfast was also great with all options.

Cons: Nothing to fault

Pros: The hotel is located on a hillside and offers spectacular view of the lake. The breakfast was worth paying for. The rooms are modern and very comfortable. There is a shuttle service from the hotel to center of Bellagio. We enjoyed our stay and recommend this hotel.

Cons: I do not have any negative comments. Everything was as described and exceeded our expectations.

Pros: The residence was in a very central location. The rooms were surrounded by a peaceful garden. Our room was spacious and was smelling amazing.

Pros: Location is fantastic, and apartment is a great value.

Cons: Parking is difficult and check-in has to be timed properly.

Pros: Bright, airy apartment with lemon tree blossoms perfuming the air. Right in the middle of Bellagio. Laundromat was next door. Didn't want to leave. Wonderful.

Cons: Driving through town on a street that looked like a sidewalk was awkward, at first. But, there is parking at the church about one block away that was convenient.

Pros: Great service , food and lobby areas. We had the apartment which was separate to the hotel and not up to the standard of the rest of the hotel. Also had a very low roof which is dangerous in the night

Cons: nothing

Pros: Pool place and the building history of this hotel NOTHING ELSE.BAD EXPERIENCE.

Cons: For my part this hotel is for 3 stars not palace . Not polite the staff.Not facilities to make coffee or tea in our room. The staff of this hotel not polite except the manager who gives me his apologies M.Riccardo Bartolotti. The staff so slow like they are tired and bored.Not help you with the baggages. I wait the first day 25 minutes to find me a table for breakfast. For dinner they send me to not a good restaurant because in the restaurant of hotel they accepted first cliends from outside and not clients of hotel. To the piscine not work the pizza restaurant. I reserved a table with a view in the lake for me and my love and i precise to be front of the lake for the next day. The next day not table front of lake,i speak to the personal manager who wasn't polite at all. I explain him the concierge and the receptionisi are stupids?He answer me YES they make to all clients that ....nice answer. I tell him give me one solution ,he answer me go where ever you want here we don't have that you asked. Our room flooded with water from the wall's. IThe next day only they send me one champagne in our room with fruits. I forget the night when happens that we don't eat because everywhere are reserved. For me with experience over of150 palaces and 5 stars hotels,this is for 3 stars. Bad bad experience i loose my precious days of my trip.

Pros: Nice and clean .Brilliant view of the lake from our room

Cons: You can hear the room above ,small problem wouldn’t stop me staying again lovely place :)

Pros: Very clean, great staff and amazing location. Bedroom with balcony and lake view you will never get tired of

Pros: Location & cleanliness of hotel

Cons: Not much to do at night

Pros: What a nice stuff! :) The view from our room was breathtaking. The breakfast was delicious. The parking was OK (in October), 5 minutes walk from the hotel and free of charge.

Cons: Bad Wi-Fi. For breakfast there weren't vegetables.

Pros: Beautiful location and very friendly staff who let us check in early after a long flight from Australia.

Cons: Bed is super hard.

Pros: Wonderfull Hotel in the centre of Menaggio, with beautiful views over Lake Como, and central to all the towns restaurants and Lake Como ferry services

Cons: Parking is difficult in Menaggio.

Pros: Lovely place. Rooftop views are stunning!

Pros: Great location! Across the lake and steps away from the ferry docks. Staff was great and helpful. Close to all the small shops. Would definite stay here again! We got a superior room for 3 and it was more than enough space.

Pros: Generous and delicious breakfast spread. What made breakfast more special was the fantastic view of the lake from the breakfast room.

Cons: N.A.

Pros: Perfect location, friendly helpful staff, modern comfortable room, gorgeous view of the lake, delicious breakfast and restaurant attached. No complaints at all! Our favorite hotel on our Italian holiday!

Cons: Everything was perfect!

Pros: This hotel is in an excellent location. Highly recommend a room with a view - breathtaking. The staff was very friendly and helpful. A wide variety of items were served for breakfast.

Cons: Loved everything, especially the down pillows. The only negative was the bed was a tad too firm.

Pros: Great central location, hence Hotel Centrale. Family run hotel, very friendly family and the room was exceptionally clean as was the bathroom. The view into the courtyard was lovely with all the many plantings.

Cons: the mattress could be updated, I could feel the spirals of it in my ribs. No good. Otherwise nothing to report.

Pros: Loved the Terrace, gardens and breakfast room. Warm welcome and helpful staff. Enjoyed the Americano coffee with breakfast and the delicious cakes.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: It was such a wonderful stay! We liked it so much that we changed our plans prolonged our stay for 3 days more. The location is not on the first line, but it is not the negative side, on the opposite it is not so loud and everything is still on the doorstep. Keep in mind that there are steps on the way to the hotel, but it is specific for Bellagio. The staff is extremely nice, friendly and super helpful, always in a good mood, even singing while no one is listening ) The room and the whole house are sparkling clean. Small green garden and a terrace are cozy and fresh, though it was raining hard (btw they have umbrellas for this case). The breakfast is fine and you can sip your coffee quietly even after the breakfast hours are over, no one will tell you that the restaurant is already closed. We liked so much our room on the third floor. It was light and very comfortable. The view was stunning - to the nice small garden and you even could see the lake and the mountains. The window in the ceiling was amazing. The furniture in the room and in the house looks very noble and tasteful. The bedclothes and towels were snow white. There is no kettle in the room, but we asked for it and they gave it to us without any problems (as well as the glasses for wine, corkscrew and whatever we’ve asked for). And the terrific thing - they helped me to find and bring flowers for my wife’s birthday and gave her a wonderful present and wished her a happy birthday with almost all the team very sincerely. That was so touching and nice. Gorgeous place and amiable people, love them very much.

Cons: Maybe the only negative thing is that the shower is a bit tiny and uncomfortable, you always have a small flood after taking a shower even if you are a super accurate person.

Pros: It was quiet and clean and very friendly

Pros: We stayed at Hotel Centrale at the recommendation of a friend and couldn't be happier with our choice. The hotel is in the heart of Bellagio and is owned/run by a multi-generational family of whom Michael was the main "front man". First location.... The hotel is truly in the middle of the small village with many restaurants/shops within a stone's throw and the main street is only a short walk away (1-2 minutes). The only down point is to get to the hotel, one must walk up about a block length of stone stairs from the main street. Not really for anyone with ambulation problems. But then again, the entire town of Bellagio is a bunch of up/downhill streets and stairs - probably not the best place to visit for someone who is unable to walk. Second, the staff. Again we couldn't be happier with our experience. Michael was personable, friendly, and very helpful. He actually called the hotel we were going to next (in Cinque Terre - a big storm had gone through that area) to make sure everything was alright before we headed down there. Third, the breakfast (included) was one of the highlights of our stay. Delicious, warm, and filling. It was wonderful to start our day with a leisurely meal before heading out. Fourth, the accommodations... The hotel had a beautiful, well kept garden and the rooms were clean and comfortable. They placed a tea tray in our rooms in the afternoon with tea/coffee/baked goods - so lovely to come home to this. The bed was comfortable and the bathrooms were modern and efficient. They also included free WIFI which was convenient. All in all, we highly recommend the Hotel Centrale!!!

Pros: Enjoyed the breakfast buffet with a lovely selection of hot drinks and attentive staff! Personal touch to the old family home was beautiful.

Pros: The location was very central Staff super friendly Lovely breakfast

Pros: Excellent location and value for money!

Pros: View and location.

Pros: Purchased the room with a view and our jaws literally dropped to the floor once we walked into our room because of how unbelievable the view was. Aside from that, the furniture, decor, and amenities within the room are all very update and seemingly very new. The style of the furniture and decor are also fitting for a Lake Como hotel. The included breakfast was delicious and the entire staff was unbelievably sweet.

Cons: Keep in mind there is a good amount of stairs to walk up to the front door of the hotel in case you have a lot of luggage. But no complains whatsoever about this place. It was amazing.

Pros: Beautiful view from the room, everything was clean and in good condition. Staff were friendly and helpful, and breakfast was simple but perfect.

Pros: It had been a long-time dream of my wife’s to visit Lake Como and to stay in a hotel with character like Hotel Bellagio. The reception staff spoke English and were helpful and friendly, and provided great advice about parking our rental car. Breakfast and housekeeping staff were also friendly. The hotel was well located, and the many stairs we had to climb to get to it added to its charm. We appreciated being able to access the rooftop terrace but were a little disappointed we could not view the lake from it. The breakfast was good with adequate variety and located in Hotel Bellagio (we were expecting it to be at a “sister” hotel so this was a pleasant surprise). The room was clean, accept for the dust because it likely had not been occupied in awhile.

Cons: We didn’t pay for a lake view room so our room was in the back and because of the dust we found in it, our guess is it hadn’t been used recently as most guests would likely book a lake view room. My wife very much disliked that she didn’t have a sense of privacy as our room’s thicker curtains would not cover the entire windows (only the sheer curtains did), and our room could be looked into by neighbours and people walking the stair path. The Hotel Bellagio offered a 10% discount at a nearby restaurant... our advice is to eat somewhere else.

Pros: Hotel Bellagio was as we expected, a professional hotel in the the middle of one of the great locations of the world. Friendly staff well appointed rooms, great location close to Ferry wharf, restaurants and the famous Bellagio foreshore strip.

Pros: The view in the room was priceless, even the bathroom had an amazing view. Worth every penny. The complimentary breakfast in the morning was delicious too.

Cons: Only critiques I have is the shower was lukewarm, it would not get very hot. Also the bed was two twin bed pushed together to make one big mattress, which was annoying because they would separate in the night and would have to be pushed back together.

Pros: The hotel was comfortable. The room was very clean. The staff was amazing, particularly the check - in and breakfast ladies.

Cons: The steps were a small issue. Not really a problem.

Pros: Location.

Cons: Breakfast was not good. They should have a person to help take the luggage upstairs.

Pros: The view from our room was fabulous. Breakfast was fresh and delightful. The steps to the hotel we’re definitely easy to navigate. Close to main square and minutes to walk to wonderful restaurants and lovely shops. Ferries and water taxis are simple to navigate especially with the help of staff at the front desk. Family owned and operated. Can’t wait to return with our family.

Cons: Loved it all

Pros: The family members operating the Hotel and the reception made the stay to feel warmer & welcoming, just like the other home! Thanks to owner and the family members, and to the Chef for turning our dinner experience into a great & tasty memory. And my future stay is permanently anchored to this Hotel for my future visit plan to Milan, whenever and for ever.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Location opposite Bellagio on Lake Como was superb as was the food. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Cons: No tea or coffee maker in room but quickly supplied when requested.

Pros: This is a wonderful property. The location was exceptional as I had events both 5 minutes north and 5 minutes south and found walking there easy. The staff was incredible, its family owned and operated and everyone couldn't have been nicer during my stay. For the price, upgrading to the lake front room was worth it as the opportunity to sleep with the sound of the water just below is ideal.

Pros: Location

Cons: Food

Pros: The hotel is lovely and right on the lake. The staff could not be more helpful and pleasant. The restaurant is excellent for breakfast and dinner and offers a spectacular view. Parking was easy and right next door. There is an elevator. The ferry dock is a few steps away.

Pros: We loved the location!

Cons: It was a little dated but we are a young couple! Other than that it was perfect.

Pros: Amazing hotel, totally recommended for couples.

Pros: Beautiful hotel. Very elegant and exceptional staff.

Cons: The bed was a bit hard and the pillow was like sleeping on a rock.

Pros: Awesome villa great location

Cons: Everything was very pricey. 15 euros for a glass of wine- house wine!

Pros: THE place to stay in Bellagio if you want to have the best experience and don’t mind to spend extra $$$. The lake view from the room is fantastic, the ambiance is romantic and the breakfast is excellent.

Cons: Wifi is slow. No coffee making facility in the room

Pros: It was nice having a variety of choices

Pros: Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni did a fantastic job of taking care of us - very comfortable room, welcoming staff, and wonderful facilities. They were great with greeting you by name, suggestions on activities and arranging dining reservations. It didn't matter if you pulled up in a Bentley or not ( we didn't)

Pros: Not true five star the hotel not open gym tell 8 am and I ask whey u don't open early they told me the owner he want that. And when I ask breakfast to my room at 11 am they bring at 9:15. And I ask whey u bringing early they ignore me

Cons: Location

Pros: Excellent location, friendly staff, good variety for breakfast, beautiful breakfast room

Cons: No tea or coffee making facilities in room and no iron

Pros: Location as well as property is very beautiful. Concierge service was great.

Cons: Food Quality and taste need to be further improved. Third bed was put in was not that great.

Pros: Location

Cons: Although there was a lot to like about the classic and dated feel of the hotel, there was certain areas where things need to be brought up to modern day times - like being able to have a cup of tea on the terrace before 10:00am.

Pros: Lovely small hotel. The staff is just so nice and friendly. Definetly recommend to stay there. Best hotel in town

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very friendly and nice staff Nice balcony with nice view

Cons: We were on the first floor and it's quiet noisy there. Some small lights on the bed side would also be appreciated.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff. Good facilities and very comfortable rooms.

Pros: The staff, the room, the garden, the view. I love everything in this cozy place.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Wonderful hotel with a phenomenal view of lake Como. The owner is very nice, made us feel like home. The breakfast is very good. I definitely recommend it.

Pros: I rarely leave ratings on places we stayed but when the accommodation is excellent and the owner went above and beyond to make your stay great, it’s only proper to give credit where it’s due. We got the double/twin room with lake view and it did not disappoint. The room and the view are amazing plus Paolo the owner is such a welcoming and attentive person. We didnt know how to get a transportation back to the ferry port but Paolo offered to give us a ride. We greatly appreciated the gesture. It’s our first time traveling to Italy so we didnt know what places we should be visiting. Our only regret is that we only stayed 1 day. When we visit Italy next time, Hotel Loveno will definitely be our priority. Great relaxing place. Definitely a favorite.

Pros: Paolo and all of the staff very nice and helpful. Cute small hotel. Thank you

Pros: Amazing view of lake como from the balcony. We are already planning our trip back there to stay in this hotel. Easy to get to town

Cons: Not so keen on the breakfast so after the first day we went to town for breakfast. Not suitable for less mobile people who dont have a car - it is a 10 minute or so walk down a steep hill to the town.

Pros: We had a lovely view of the lake from our room. It was a 10 minute walk to the bustle of Bellagio. The breakfast was excellent with fresh fruit, cereal, eggs, cheese and other Italian treats. The sweet treats were varied and amazing.

Cons: You have to get used to a smaller bathroom and shower Recess but we coped pretty well.

Pros: Staff were very nice and helpful, city center is within walking distance (stairs). The appartment is beautiful, in the morning before breakfast we walked for 2 minutes to see the lake, it was beautiful, very quiet. We reccomend !

Cons: Room was a little small but enough for us :)

Pros: Lovely B&B. Our room was compact but big enough, the bed was comfortable and the room was clean. I paid a little extra for a room with a balcony and the view was outstanding. The hosts put on a delicious Italian style breakfast. Some parking is available at the property for a small fee but if you can fit in the white lines (we didn't) you can park on the street for free. It's maybe a 10 minute walk into Bellagio via a lovely lake view and up quite a few flights of cobblestone stairs.

Cons: Nothing, the place was superb.
