Varenna Sweet Home, hotel in Varenna

Located in Varenna, Varenna Sweet Home provides air-conditioned accommodation with a patio and free WiFi. The property has quiet street views.

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)

    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. :)

    Loved Varenna. So beautiful, straight out of a movie scene.

    Loved Varenna. So beautiful, straight out of a movie scene. Do a wine tasting, there are many options there. There is a lot of uneven cobblestones and a million stone stairs. Have sturdy shoes with grip. You walk everywhere. I wouldn’t recommend for someone who is unsteady, walks with a cane, has bad knees. I saw people with baby strollers, but I wouldn’t recommend it, seemed awful with all of the stairs. Not a kid friendly location. Food was fantastic…eat all the bread, it’s not like in the US. Take a cooking class. Take the ferry to Bellano and visit Orrido di Bellano. Next time, I would not bother with Bellagio visit. I would’ve liked the boat ride on the lake and botanical gardens…next time.

    Lots of options throughout the area - not just Varenna.

    Lots of options throughout the area - not just Varenna. So why Varenna?Easy access via train without needing more hops to get somewhere else. Probably more things in other villages if you're looking for a party scene. We tend to stay out later than some and we found enough places to seek out in our three nights. This may have included buying a bottle of wine and enjoying it out on the balcony, but still. Just liked the vibe as subjective as that is. Special shout outs to Hotel Olivedo, Locanda del Cavallino, Taxi Boat Varenna and Osteria Quatro Pass.

    Spacious room, comfy bed, nice kitchen - and gorgeous view of the lake and mountains from the window and the terrace. The town's center and ferry dock is close by, just a 5 minute walk and there's a nice store down the road. Oscar was very welcoming and helpful - explained about the lake attractions, left us the remote control for the parking. We loved Varenna (it's much prettier than Bellagio btw) and our stay at Residenza Decimina.

    Beautiful hotel located in the best place in Varenna - right in front of the lake, opposite the ferry port and close to everything important. The hotel itself is in an authentic building and brings you back in time with the beautiful and cosy interior. Our room was big and very comfortable with a nice small terrace and a magnificent lake view!! The breakfast is also quite good with the menu options as well.

    The staff were so friendly and helpful at this beautiful hotel right at the ferry station in Varenna. The view from our room was spectacular - over Lake Como and the town itself. We loved the convenience to the ferry, and to the swimming beach in the lake. One night we hopped on the ferry and had dinner in another town and then returned and headed right to bed. The breakfast was delicious.

    We were able to meet Oscar who provided us with keys on arrival. The room was easily accessible by elevator, was comfortable and spacious. We were also able to bring our dog and there was enough space in the room for the three of us. The location was great, being so close (3 minutes) to the Varenna-Esino station, and had a beautiful view of Lake Como.

    Central location was outstanding, 100 metres to ferry and so easy to train. Clean, well presented property with the most beautiful host Mary. Very comfortable bedding, well appointed with a terrace that was ideal for our extended family. The view of Lake Como was breathtaking. Varenna was the most perfect start to our 3 weeks in Italy.

    There had been a landslide in the area so train travel was limited. The host/hotel concierge was very helpful in providing needed information that helped us make connections with train and boats. The hotel restaurant served excellent fish from Lake Como. A lovely location in the town square of Varenna and picturesque establishment.
