I read the reviews and my expectations were the rooms and furnishings are average. Reality - true. TV - little box with bad reception. We had kids and had to book two rooms and trust our 8 & 11 year old to their own room. Wireless internet only worked down at the lobby/breakfast room. Look, My wife and I are... More

My husband and I went here for our 2 year anniversary . Overall we liked the place. The pros were, amazing view of lake como, good continental breakfast and pretty quiet. The negatives were the big hill you had to walk up to get to it if you don't have a car. If you are not in good health I... More

A great hotel with an amazing view from the upper level rooms. My room was clean and well furnished. The bed was a little too firm for me but then again so is every bed in Italy. With the construction of the new parking garage in Varenna they had removed the sign indicating the turn off from the main street.... More

Both myself, my wife and another couple stayed here in mid November, 2011. Our friends picked this hotel and it is truly a beautiful place to stay. We were here for a couple of nights. We arrived rather late at night at the train station and took a taxi to the hotel. I would recommend taking a taxi to the... More

My wife and I stayed at the Eremo Gaudio in October 2011 and really enjoyed the location, view, and history of the hotel. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner on the terrace with amazing views looking out over Lake Como. More

We drove to Varena and had to stop and ask directions to the hotel after driving up and down the road several times, as building work had obscured the signage, but luckily the person we asked was very helpful and knew the hotel. The road to the hotel is very steep and and narrow, but once we arrived we found... More

Definitely take a taxi from the train station. Don't panic if the taxi is unattended at the train station, as the driver is likely in the vicinity talking with friends. Definitely request the Varenna Room on the top floor which is 2 funicular rides and one elevator ride up. Views of Lake Como are unsurpassed, and it is very peaceful.... More

My husband and I stayed here from October 13 to 15. It was off-season so the town and the surrounding area was very quiet (just what we needed after a week in Rome!). We had backpacks and did not find the walk from the train or the town to be difficult. If you are in any reasonable physical condition and... More

We booked this hotel over the internet for a romantic weekend. When we arrived we were shown to a barracks like building at the bottom of the furnicular and advised we had the 'right' to use the gardens of the hotel proper - the place with the views over the lake. The rooms were horrid - dark, sparse and mean,... More

My husband and I stayed one night here during our Italy vacation at the end of October and wished we could have stayed longer. The hotel was perfect. The only problem was transportation from the train station. There was a taxi stand with an empty taxi but no driver. After walking into town, we found a hotel worker who called... More
