We feel fortunate this hotel had a room for 2 nights when our first choice closed for "renovation" without any notice to us. The hotel is immaculate, colorful, central to the small town, and not far to the lakeshore. The staff member we dealt with most spoke enough English to be very helpful, and he was eager to help us...

This is a family-runned hotel with clean rooms and basic amenities. Breakfast is also basic with nothing to shout about. If you are looking for a clean, safe and convenient hotel that doesn't burst your budget - this is the place to go. There is a pretty good pizzeria opposite the hotel..

As a solo female traveler, safety and location are a high priority for me. Albergo del Sole is right in the center of Varenna. If you don’t have a lot of luggage, you can easily walk from the train station down to the hotel. Otherwise, take a taxi. The hotel isn’t posh or romantic if that’s what you’re looking for... More

The 'wow' factor is that the rooms are very modern - clean lines, no fuss, and some with balconies. Yummy breakfasts. Car parking is on the square, and free overnight. The wine is good, and cheap, even by UK... More

Albergo del Sole is a well established and long running hotel located in th Piazza San Giorgio in Varenna. The Piazza is the centre of Varenna and is close to the Villa Monastero, Chiesa San Giorgio and the maze of interesting stairlanes of the town. It is however also very noisy from very early in the morning with the delivery... More

Previous reviews give different opinions of this hotel and in many respects both are correct. It just depends on what is important to you and what you do and don't like.We stayed for 5 nights in early September and had a suite on the top floor. A large clean room with good views of the lake, but bigger than we... More
