The room was pristine. The views from our balcony were unreal. The restaurant was great, the breakfast was great. I will absolutely be coming back here when I stay in Varenna someday again. Make sure you listen to their website when it says to pack light, you really do have to climb up a lot of stairs to get to your room that are very narrow and it is pretty much impossible to do if you have a large suitcase.

My guess is that Varenna is a magnet for American destination weddings, which probably explains why parts of these Hotels' reservation books were already full, even when we inquired many months in advance. The Albergo Milano is located right in the old town and up. It looks very romantic and complete with killer views from the balcony.

This review is for the restaurant Veranda as we did not stay in the Villa d'Este hotel…read more We came here for dinner on Friday night along with two other couples. Upon arrival we were told that the men needed to be wearing jackets. I wish that our hotel had told us because my husband had packed one, but luckily the restaurant keeps spare jackets on site for just this situation. The large dining room is incredibly old school with beautiful brass dining chairs laden in blue and yellow striped fabric. When they brought out the wine list I thought it was a joke because it was the size of a dictionary! For dinner I had the beet tartare and the veal filet. The soy marinated tofu was a little bit of an odd flavor combined the beet dish but besides that it was quite good. My husband started with the gnocchi and it may have been the best dish of the night, it was dynamite. In my opinion, my veal filet was better than my husbands beef filet and I also really enjoyed the petite eggplant parmigiana that came with it. Soufflé and ice creams for dessert were a big hit, but I was especially pleased because I asked if they had some dark chocolates off menu and they brought me out a beautiful assortment that tasted as good as they looked. Great restaurant if you are looking for an elegant evening out on the town or an excuse to use the dinner jacket that you packed but thought you wouldn't need.

The staff is the most friendly and amazing in every way. 15 out of 10!! Everything here has been amazing t the food, rooms and service. The EER SPA is one of the best I have been to in the world for hotels. The only negative is they allow kids at certain times but that's ok and can go during adult hours. But be aware of this when you come to relax and leave your own kids at home. If I had my son he would love it here and I'll bring him next time. Food was excellent. Everything we had was fresh.

It's still the off season so it was quiet and fantastic. I booked using Amex FHR and the hotel graciously upgraded our room to a junior suite. We were celebrating my husband's bday and they left a bottle of prosecco in the room as well. The concierge and front desk team were really responsive via email leading up to our stay. They helped me book an agriturismo for lunch, as well as some spa appointments. The service is just astoundingly good. Andrea at the ristorante was a joy! The gentleman who works at the bar with glasses and the gentleman who just moved back to Italy from Canada were also lovely! The boutique is SO cute and shockingly reasonable. The woman who works here was very helpful in finding the right sizes and colors. The spa is out of the world. If you're not staying at the hotel, I recommend booking a treatment or buying a day pass to experience it. It's so gorgeous and absolutely massive. We loved the hot and cold pools and showers. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and meticulously kept after. The views of the Lake are beautiful and best enjoyed from the hotel's front lawn. The hotel is, of course, quite expensive, but you get what you pay for! The staff here don't miss a beat and our stay was full of little, meaningful surprises. It really is such a special place!

Came for lunch, what a nice surprise. Ordered the grilled prawns, after checking with the wait staff that the prawns would not come with their heads on, I was assured they were cleaned thoroughly & they were, excellent. Hubby ordered the risotto with asparagus, absolutely divine. As you wait, fresh baked bread, like a puff pastry is brought out to snack on, just heavenly. No dessert - we only leave dessert for dinner, so we have to return for dinner & definitely try one of their desserts! Word to the wise, this place is pricey, yet for me given the level of service & how good the food tasted it was well worth the price. No pics, too busy enjoying the view, the food & the people watching.

I got all the privacy I was searching for, as well as the top notch service I expected. The pool area is tiny. I mean, really tiny!! But the spa area is where you need to be. You pay a lil extra, but you book a block of time and it's all yours for that period of time. There's a Turkish bath, jacuzzi, and the waterfall that you stand under after getting out the Turkish bath. Those couple of hours were heaven!!! There was no one interrupting, hopping in/out of the jacuzzi, or steam room. You can also book a massage while there. Everything was A+++. This hotel delivered everything I was looking for! Modern decor, seclusion, privacy, GREAT food (at the restaurant and room service), and EXCELLENT customer service!!!

But some things can get improve :) here are the list: 1. The room need towel hooks, maybe need at least 2? 2. The wifi is not smooth, but maybe due to for from the city? 3. The AC is okay, but I can life with it. After all, this hotel is eco friendly. Also each room provide with black out so be sure you lower it down during sunny time! 4. Maybe they should use wall hang amenities for soap and shampoo, to complete the clean look. To avoid leaving the amenities tubes on the shower floor. 5. The lobby could be less "things". The feeling now is very dense and messy. Which not very minimalist at all. Perhaps better sitting area (not a couch with no structure) Leaving me with feeling 'messy'. Also, less magazine would be nice :) I love all the details of the hotel. Everything are very well thought. From the square toilet, nice comfy bed, pillows, bed sheets through the breakfast presentation! I LOVE them all!!! Not to mention the people here are very kind and friendly (a.k. a - very good service!) - THANK YOU! Definitely this hotel has a resorts vibe which I like and somehow bring me back to Bali...Again, this hotel is very boutique and I am so glad to experience it my self.

This was our first visit here. There were many great aspects to this hotel but unfortunately, many…read morepoor interactions as well. At check-in, the staff on the lobby floor were all very helpful and friendly. The room was also very spacious and clean which was great. Modern finishes and updated compared to other options in the area. Views from the room we had were also very nice, especially at sunset. It was great for our family that this room we booked had 2 bathrooms and a pullout bed, though the pullout bed was very hard and not very comfortable. We appreciated some of the complimentary gifts provided due to our Hilton status. Where the service slipped, was at the pool and rooftop area. On our second to last day, 2 of us decided to head to the pool around 3pm. It was busy and there were not any spots to sit/lay down. Many chairs had towels and belongings left on them where people had either left to go into the pool or left to their room to come back later or potentially not at all. We waited for some assistance near the bar area and eventually, some other guests arrived, trying to scope out spots as well. After about 15 minutes, I approached one of the guys walking around and asked if there were any spots available. He talked with one of his partners and they walked around a bit and said everything is taken (no kidding). I asked if any of the spots were just towels people left and they were done for the day and he claimed it's impossible to know. He then said to wait off to the side and he'd get us a chair to place our things so we could go in the pool. We stood off to the side (in the hot sun) for about 20 min and he never brought us the chair. We watched him walk around doing other things avoiding eye contact with us. Yet, his colleague helped another couple who arrived after us get a spot. We decided enough is enough and left. The staff need to do a much better job cleaning spots off when people leave and actually follow-through on their work. Additionally, there should be time limits so that someone cannot claim a lounge chair in the morning and use it all day long so that no one else can use the pool. There's limited space to begin with so something should be done. Additionally, the pool closed at 6PM which I think is very early and pretty unreasonable. I'm assuming this is because they do not want the noise or inconvenience for their restaurant but still. The restaurant is a whole other experience, but overall, poor food quality, slow, and overpriced. Overall, if visiting Como again, I would likely choose another place to stay as this location could use some improvements to quality of service and overall value when looking at your nightly price.
