Varenna Villa Monastero Hotels

"Amazing location! The skylights had magical views. Very near everything you could want in Varenna. The washing machine was also extremely helpful for us as we were on an extended trip around Italy."

"We loved our stay in Varenna! The host gave excellent directions on how to access the apartment. We brought a car and were able to park in the nearby public parking lot. Walking to the place involved a short steep downhill on cobblestones and several flights of stairs to the apartment, so that is good to know if you have physical limitations. But, we loved it and would go back!"

"Breakfast was filled with lots of choices, from fresh fruits to croissants and fresh juices. Our room was very clean and very comfortable with lots of amenities that made for a very nice stay we had a balcony with the most amazing view. All the staff were cheerful and very professional. We ate many of our dinners at the Victoria Grill. The menu offered many choices and the food was of high quality. Service was also top notch. I would highly recommend this hotel for its central location on Lake Como."

"Beautiful view "

"Awesome breakfast! So close to old town Varenna. "

"Beautiful property with spectacular views over lake Como. From check in to check out we found the staff polite and attentive. Our room was spacious, very clean, well appointed and that view!!!!"

"Staff are very friendly helpful and kind "

"Communication with Liz was quick and she answered all our questions quickly. The house was easy to find and we could walk everywhere. The numbers for taxi provided made it easier on checkout day to pick us up and take us to the train station. I would recommend that for checking in but we managed ok. The bedrooms are large and we had plenty of room. "

"I normally do not write reviews; but, wanted to for this hotel. It is a small quaint hotel. It actually has a small pool and hot tub with incredible views. It is actually located in Vezio right outside of Varenna. At first, I was concerned about the location from Varenna. However, Rita the proprietor made sure we had transportation from the train station as well as to and from all of our points of interest. We seriously wanted for nothing. Rita and the staff made sure all our needs were taken care of. She even cooked us lasagna dinner herself when the local restaurant was closed. I have stayed in many hotels but never received this level of hospitality. We actually would say and continue to say where is “Rita” because this would not happen. She took care of every need and would not let us be without a ride, food, umbrella, etc. If you are planning to visit this area you will not regret staying at the Hotel Diffuso il Portichetto. Rita and her staff will treat you like family! I can’t wait to go back!! "
