Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious rooms with stunning views of Lake Como. The service is generally good with helpful staff. The location is exceptionally beautiful, although some areas may need improvement. The dining experience has room for enhancement, especially regarding variety. Overall, a pleasant stay with great views and service.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though clean and equipped with an upstairs loft, were unfortunately infested with ants, which was quite bothersome. On the bright side, both the Garden Suite and the Magnolia Suite offered lovely views, and the air conditioning was a relief during the heat wave. The service provided by the staff was a bit of a letdown with a mix of helpfulness and unprofessional behavior. However, the location was perfect, near a parking garage and within walking distance to various attractions. Dining was decent, especially with the ambiance of a charming balcony overlooking the lake. Overall, a stay with both positive and negative aspects.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were modern and clean, featuring a very comfortable king-sized bed. The staff was extremely friendly and gracious, making my experience even more enjoyable. The location was exceptional, offering stunning views over the Lake. Although the dining options were good, some may find the selection limited. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel offers incomparable views and top-notch service but could improve dining options. The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated, providing a comfortable stay with high-quality features. The location is exceptional, overlooking Lake Como in the romantic town of Varenna, though pricing could be more competitive.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms offered lovely views but were close to a noisy daycare facility, which was a downside. Despite being small, they were clean, modern, and featured a great contemporary bathroom, air-conditioning, and beautiful lake views. The staff service was a hit or miss; while some were wonderfully welcoming, others were dismissive and even laughed in my face. The location was excellent, within easy reach of restaurants and the ferry pier, but the noise from the breakfast room below was quite bothersome. The dining experience was enjoyable with a good variety of treats and options. The facilities were pleasant, but the noise from neighboring activities could be disturbing at times.
