I stayed in a single room for the two nights 23 and 24/05/13. A simple but adequate room with good bathroom with shower, all extremely clean, as the rest of the hotel is, including the restaurant/pizzeria which is part of the business. The owners/staff are all polite, very friendly and helpful. The price is very good considering the proximity to... More

We stayed here for two nights and really appreciated the friendliness of the staff, Enzo and Francesco. The hotel is immaculate and is well-situated in Varenna to be not far from anything. The elevator and fast internet were appreciated. The restaurant downstairs is run by the same staff and our breakfast was included. It was tasty and service was attentive.... More

We stayed here for 2nights. It is in the centre of the town square. Yes it is right next to the church bell that goes off at 7am but that is why we stay in smaller towns. To experience their culture and way of living. Loved the family atmosphere of the whole town and also ths hotel. They couldn't have... More

Varenna was the recommended spot to experience Lago di Como, according to Rick Steves. He somewhat underrated this hotel, not taking into account the new management and other improvements. The walk from the train station is kind of long with luggage, but we found this hotel had included an elevator in the past year. The ever-present Francesco and his staff... More

This hotel, right in the historic centre of Varenna, was easy to like. The room was white and bright and had a clean feel about it. The bed was comfortable and the beautiful clock tower on the church across from our balcony ensured we woke up at 7am each morning when it started ringing - great if you like to... More

Firstly, the owners are very polite and helpful. Like many places in Italy which did not start their life as accommodations, the rooms and bathrooms are quite small. We had a triple room, though it consisted of 3 single beds, rather than a double and single - as we were a family travelling together, this wasn't what we expected, however,... More

Under new management this year, the "Albergo del Sole" is a centrally located hotel with reasonably priced restaurant and pizzeria downstairs with both a covered terrace and tables looking out on to the main square. Staff are friendly (free limoncello after your meal !) and helpful, although it pays to book a table, especially at weekends, as it is popular... More

We feel fortunate this hotel had a room for 2 nights when our first choice closed for "renovation" without any notice to us. The hotel is immaculate, colorful, central to the small town, and not far to the lakeshore. The staff member we dealt with most spoke enough English to be very helpful, and he was eager to help us...
