The hotel or better albergo has an amazing view but that's all! We booked a double room with balcony with a view over the lake on the building where reception is for 135€ night which for european standards is not so cheap. We found much better places to stay and less expensive not only in Italy but in the UK,... More

We spent 3 nights in this hotel in May 2013 Book this hotel only if you would like to have an amazing view of the lake. In my opinion it´s a bit overpriced. It´s a 10min walk to Varenna. The rooms are ok but nothing else. Breakast is ok. Rooms where quite cold. Not possible to switch on the heater,... More

If you stay at this hotel, be sure to get a room with a balcony on the upper level. The view is magnifient. The rooms are plainly furnished. The breakfast was ok but nothing to write home about. This hotel is a bit outside of Varenna and it is a hike to town. It is perhaps more suitable to those... More

Very romantic, very magical. Great views, would recommend the upper rooms, worth the extra cost. A short (5-10 mins) stroll down to the town, would recommend a taxi from the station unless backpacking and trying to save pennies, in which case the walk is do-able, but from the station it's more like 15-20 mins. The continental buffet breakfast is nothing... More

A Rick Steves recommendation. Yes, it's out of town a bit, but we consider that a plus (we Americans could use a good walk now and then - about 7-10 minutes). Ck-in is in the cafe; some rooms are in the pinkish building next to and below the cafe, but ours (and we feel the best) are high up the... More

A wonderful hotel with a great cafe/restaurant serving traditional homemade pasta dishes. The view across lake Como is amazing. This hotel has a very unique feature, a series of outdoor 'funicular' style glass elevators. These take you up the cliff to the various floors where the rooms are located. There are communal balconies on each level and some rooms have... More

We stayed at Eremo Gaudio for two nights during a stay in Varenna. We loved the views from above, but it just didn't compare to staying in town and being within a short walking distance from everything. While this hotel was a 10-15 minute walk to town, keep in mind its quite an uphill walk back (especially when you're pushing... More

I actually ended up booking this hotel because the one I really wanted was completely booked, but I have to say it ended up working out ok. Pros: the price was very reasonable, specially considering the view we had from our balcony... STUNNING!!! The lake and the views of the Swiss and Italian mountain range was just perfect. The staff... More

This hotel is located just outside Varenna. It sits on a steep hill above Lake Como and above the magnificent Villa Monastero, which lies along the shoreline. We arrived by train and walked to the hotel. It took less than a half hour, and we stopped for brief rests along the way. There is a taxi service available for those... More
