Enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Bristol. We were warmly greeted by reception upon arrival; even shown…read moreto our room a bit before check-in time! The first floor space was large (2 closets with plenty of hangers) and overlooked the large, lush gardens that are so beautifully maintained in this 150 yr. old former family residence. Though face towels are mere linens, the shower water pressure and temperature controls worked well. Room thermostat control was great too. Our tiny twin bed mattresses were a little lumpy, but otherwise OK. Morning breakfast options were wide, varied, and beautifully presented. Do try the fresh squeezed OJ! Recommended spot to stay!

On our very first day, while checking in, our bag was stolen from the hotel lobby. Unfortunately,…read morethe front desk was not helpful in addressing the situation. We were told there were no cameras in the lobby, and they would not review video footage from the exits to see whether our bag could be seen leaving the hotel. Instead, the only assistance offered was a toothbrush and toothpaste. After such a serious incident and the lack of support we received, we cannot recommend this hotel. The room situation is substandard. Broken toilet seat, rehung used feminine hygiene bags, and the AC unit rattles so loudly making it hard to sleep. Btw- this trip to Italy was booked through Trafalgar. Personally I would not have booked these rooms.

We booked two rooms here for two nights early July, 2026. This hotel and this location was perfect…read morefor our needs. We were relaxing after long flights and before the start of a wedding weekend at Lake Orta. The rooms were very clean and very comfortable. The small lounge areas down on the main floor we really enjoyed. It was very cool sitting there and fun to watch the few activities going on. The food was very good and especially the breakfast. One of us really enjoyed the swimming pool. What an extra bonus to wanting to just relax and recover from a long flight. For us, this hotel was perfect. Thank you.

I loved this hotel! The location is perfect, only 5 mins. away from MXP by free shuttle. The…read moregrounds are quiet and it doesn't feel like an airport is nearby. The room was small, but beautiful. The bed a bit too firm, but didn't keep me from sleeping well. Lots of storage if you need it, and a clean, lovely bathroom. The bar and restaurant were great, good food, and a breakfast was included with my room. I will absolutely stay here again when I fly in/out of Malpensa!

By far one of the best, privately hotels I've ever stayed at in my life. Everything you see on…read moretheir website, is even better in person. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. 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.

Great hotel on the lake. My boyfriend and I had a mountain view room on the third floor - spacious,…read moreclean with a little balcony. His mother had a lake view room across the hall - smaller, but with a beautiful view of the lake. Huge balcony! Breakfast was included, basic but filling enough. Breads, croissants, lots of jams and Nutella, some meats, granola, yogurt, boiled eggs, and coffee. We stayed at the end of September, which is off season and when it starts to cool down. Would be amazing in the summer. Can lie out on the dock, take their paddle boat out, and go for a swim. Boat, train and bus stops nearby (walking distance). We even walked to a nearby town Bissone for dinner one night. Great stay! Would come back again!

It is absolutely gorgeous with elegant furnitures, collective articles, wall panels and crown molding. The decoration is stunningly beautiful. The staff is very friendly remembering your name and can tell you stories about the collective articles. The building itself was an elegant reminder of European history and culture. My stay there for a business trip was just fabulous. It wasn't super expensive for European hotel standard, euro 165 a night for a king size bed. If you visit during the week of Formula One race competition, it would be very hard to find a spot at this hotel if you do not book early (by the way, the hotel room is decorated with many Formula One photos).
