The staff, Villa, breakfast, location was excellent! It is an oasis in a high tourist area. Our weekend stay was memorable because of the expert care of the staff. Try the gourmet dinner at the sister property next door. Victoria at the Hotel Victoria.
This was the best stay ever. Such a beautiful place and worth every penny. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. The view from my room of the lake was amazing. Thank you and I hope to stay again one day.

Our stay at Hotel Villa Cipressi in Varenna was unforgettable! The service was exceptional, with staff who were always attentive and welcoming. The location is simply stunning — the views of Lake Como from the hotel and its beautiful botanical garden are breathtaking. Breakfast was top notch, offering a delicious and varied selection each morning. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a special experience on Lake Como
This was a beautiful hotel with beautiful gardens. Having both hotels available for us, was amazing. Varenna is such a beautiful town and this hotel makes it even better. But the VIEWSSS :)
The service was top notch here. They have convenient shuttles to and from the train station and ferry dock. They will help book dinner reservations and other taxis as needed. Free delicious breakfast and access to the gardens unless there's an event. However, our room did have significant spiders and webs so the rooms do not appear to be deep cleaned often. We spent an hour of our first night catching spiders. Not sure if it is worth the price with that in mind.
Beautiful and convenient location in the heart of Varenna. Very short walk to “Lovers Walk” which will bring you directly into the marina area. Many bars and restaurants. Gorgeous amenities including breakfast and a terrace for drinks and food. Accommodating staff. Would absolutely visit again!
Beautiful historic hotel with pleasant and helpful staff. I celebrated my birthday while staying there and discovered a bottle of wine and note from the staff in my room.
A beautiful old villa with amazing gardens surrounding it. Room lovely, breakfast wonderful. Staff a bit frazzled, often would not (or could not) answer phone. Shuttle bus could not meet us at ferry with our bags for example as no one answered phone when we called. Fortunately they could take us to train next day. I think hosting a wedding and also keeping regular guests happy may have been a bridge too far. Still I would recommend it to others with these caveats as it’s a really beautiful property and once we were there everyone was very attentive and welcoming
