"The hotel is super! For those who, like me, come for just a couple of days to walk and ride around the nearby towns, this is a great option:
Location - in close proximity to the bus stop (now there are no trains to Varenna due to preparations for the Olympics, but there are transfer buses from Lecco station to Varenna, so it stops right in front of the hotel). It is very convenient with a suitcase - you don't need to drag it anywhere far, literally a couple of minutes on foot and you are at the hotel.
The only thing you need to take into account is that check-in (as well as breakfast) is in another building, but also right next door.
Also from the hotel it is literally 5-7 minutes to the pier, from where boats go to Bellagio, Menaggio, etc. Very convenient.
From the hotel you can walk to the center of Varenna (7-10 minutes), to Villa Cipressi and Monastero (12 minutes), go up to the Vezio castle (20 minutes up a steep climb on foot).
But a small addition - if you are without a suitcase, light, then it is better to stay in the center, life is in full swing there, probably this has its own advantage.
The staff at the hotel is super-friendly, pleasant, I thank them for this! They helped me with my suitcase when checking in, told and showed me everything.
By the way, the elevator in the hotel is only for luggage, you have to go up on foot yourself, but for me it was not a problem.
The room itself is clean, spacious, bright, with large windows. From the window in my room there was a gorgeous view of the city, the lake and the mountains 😍 it is very cozy to drink tea or coffee on the balcony. Tea, coffee and a kettle are in the room.
The breakfast was good, there was a choice, sweet and unsweetened, fruits, tea, coffee, etc. After checking out, you can leave your suitcase in storage and walk around a bit more.
There's only one downside - the keys are physical, and there's a big, heavy metal keychain on the keys 🤪🤪🤪 that takes up a lot of space in your bag 😅"
