Hotel di Varese

Nice modern rooms in nice hotel, located in the centre of the old town. Very attentive and helpful staff. They help and try to satisfy any slightest request. Some of the most hospitable… delicious, high-quality breakfast. The choice is not big, but everything you need is there and of excellent quality - which is the most important thing.

We stayed two nights, as a base for exploring the Lake Como area. Our room was fantastic, spacious with a wonderful en-suite bathroom. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was splendid, so really what more can I say, it was a shame to leave.

Look no further for a great hotel. We loved the closeness to train, and center of town. We had a balcony overlooking parking area and it was quiet and peaceful along with church bells in the distance. The breakfast was amazing, great selections, excellent service. Room was dark and quiet, peaceful. Hotel was small boutique size. The bathroom and amenities were great, excellent shower as well as the blow-dryer. (important for some of us!)

We stayed for three nights. Our room was in the annex, not in the main building. The WiFi was erratic. There is ample secure parking. And it is easily accessible, through a wide gate, which is locked over night and has CCTV. The surface spaces are a very good size. There is also underground parking. Our room was big, a mini-suite. It had a large safe and a fridge. Bathrobes and slippers also. Comfortable beds. The bathroom was big, with a great shower. Everywhere was absolutely spotlessly clean. Breakfast was very good. The lady in the breakfast room makes excellent double espressos. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They gave me good advice on getting to Campione d'Italia, when my satnav was of little help. It’s a curiosity - an Italian enclave, on the shore of Lake Lugano, completely surrounded by Switzerland. My main problem was getting there and back without incurring the €40 Swiss motorway toll. We also got good recommendation from the hotel for restaurants. They list a number on the city map which they provide. We went to Bologna, which was great (closed Tuesdays, otherwise we'd have gone again) and La Piedigrotta for pizza. Go at opening time to either, if you don’t have a reservation. Otherwise forget it. Varese is a lovely relaxing town with colonnaded streets, lots of high-end shops and plenty of eateries. We will definitely stay again at Hotel di Varese.
