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.

Wondering place to stay!

Absolutely lovely small hotel directly on Lake Como in Varenna. We loved our small but very well equipped room and bathroom. Loved the “ rain shower”. Nice balcony with beautiful views. Excellent breakfast in a stunning setting. Excellent service, too.

The property is beautiful, but what really stood out was the staff and level of service. All of the staff were extremely attentive, friendly, and helpful.
