A wonderful hotel, centrally located in Varenna. Our junior suite, Manzoni, overlooked Lake Como. The views were both stunning and pleasant. Local church bells rang throughout the day…and occasionally, we heard someone singing opera in the distance. The room had everything we needed and more. The staff were friendly, informative, and professional. Morning breakfast was outstanding, and served with champagne. The hotel provides shuttle service to/from the ferry station and its concierge planned our dinner reservations for the 3 nights we were there (outstanding job as all 3 evenings out were perfect) . What more could one ask for—definitely 5 stars!
