This property is beautiful, the view from our room was amazing. Sitting outside for breakfast and dinner and taking in the views was breathtaking. Such a romantic hotel. The rooms are a little tight and we were a bit squished with our large suitcases - this is also a common theme in many of these hotels. The staff were so helpful.

Being in Verenna allows for all the beauty of Lake Como, without the chaos of Bellagio. It is also easy to take a quick (and beautiful) ferry ride to Bellagio if you so wish! The facilities themselves are very nice and have a resort feal to them.
