Lake Como Hotels

Yes, we read all the reviews: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Alas, travel is an adventure; and pretty much you get out of it what you put into it. As a 68 year old tour leader, I found that my pack of three 50 somethings were in awe of the five night experience. We found the breakfast quite adequate. The dinner meals, al fresco, at sunset, were very good, although the menu entrees did not change for the five nights that we were there. Dining service was pleasant. The trio of maids blitzed though the rooms every morning and left them spotlessly clean. Treat yourself to the Bellagio or Tremezzo rooms at upper level for great views. We used the trail/path to "climb" to the nearby Castello di Vezio for great views and unique falconry on grounds. It's a quick but steep descent back down into Varenna by a different path exiting near the train station. Another short walk is to the short, seasonal river in the village of Fiumelatte. There is an excellent fine dining restaurant, Hosteria del Platano, at Via Statale 29. We walked all the time, except the last morning, when we used a taxi to transport our bags to the station.

I recommend this hotel which was perfect in every way. Welcoming and attentive all the hotel managers and staff were so helpful and friendly that we relaxed from the moment we walked into La Perla. Our rooms were spotlessly clean and comfortable.. The two tiered terrace was enormous with sun loungers and an amazing view of Lake Como. A free mini bus service was offered each day to drive to local shops and restaurants by the lakeside. Lots of choice at the breakfast buffet. Genuinely lovely and helpful managers made this stay perfect.

I was given a room in the villa across the street and it was lovely! So clean and comfortable with a great balcony and view of Lake Como!

Beautiful hotel, old but well maintained! Quiet, but yet close to ferry boats, restaurants and shopping. Great staff! Great American breakfast!

Hotel is at a good location 25 minutes walking distance to Como and 10 minutes walking distance Cernobbio. Lake is just 2 minutes walking distance and you can take the boat from Cernobbio. Try the Sunday brunch!

Great location between the train stiation and the lake, very clean. Excellent breakfast, lovely almond croissants!

The accommodation is located in the centre of town directly above a gelati shop. The apartment is simple, clean and has a well equipped kitchen. It has been renovated recently so bathroom and kitchen are clean and everything works. The service is excellent. On arrival we were greeted by staff and showed us how to get there (can be difficult in small, lake townships), where to park etc. Home away from home.

Great central location overlooking the lake, close to several small towns and boats to the other side of the lake. We ate at the main dining room some nights which was good. I would however recommend you try the Lido restaurant too whilst also, they do a really tasty Grill/BBQ next to the pool some nights which was brilliant fun! We couldn't fault our room which was spacious, clean and with great views of the lake. The lido is also a great place to be during the day with a pool right on the lake front and loungers directly overlooking the lake. It was great to see a comparitvley low cost option investing money in new amenities for the hotel. If I get the chance I will be going back as there is so much to do on the beautiful lake.

When arriving in this hotel we received a very warm welcome and during the stay everybody did all their best to make us feel at home. The view is gorgeous looking over Bellagio and Lake Como. I travel a lot all over the world and I would place this hotel on my top list

Great hotel but their free parking only consist of three stalls. other than that this place is great!
