Location, beautiful grounds including a botanical garden. Fantastic breakfast. Very comfortable room. Staff was so helpful making reservations for dinner or making great suggestions for things to do.

Twice the patio was closed to have a private event. There are other places on the property to enjoy but the patio s the prime location at sunset.

This is an unbelievable hotel in an amazing location. The staff, the rooms and the scenery are exceptional. If I could rate more than 10 stars I would!! On arrival, the reception staff and the gentleman who assisted us with the bags is very welcoming and can not do enough to make sure our stay was special. We will definitely be back!

Location for me was amazing and I would choose again Varenna. There were no weddings, so that was great as well. The views are outstanding and the staff was very attentive. It was raining on our check out so to find out they had a shuttle was absolutely perfect! The view from the bedroom, outstanding and unbeatable. Great breakfast

There were no communal areas to seat down. A few empty rooms that didn’t make the hotel welcome or warm. I wouldn’t have liked it to stay at the hotel if there was a wedding happening. It takes the magic and the focus of the staff.

Honestly the best experience I have had in a hotel, Victoria on the reception was so courteous and friendly. She really was a great asset to the Villa Cipressi. The room was beautiful and the gardens even more so. I was so impressed by everything, they even packaged up a breakfast for me to go because I was leaving early. Loved every minute of it and the view I had of the lake and the church was incredible the chiming of the church bells in the morning was just magical. Thank you for a lovely experience, I hope to come again.

Beautiful hotel in a great location. Most of the staff were nice, Adelaide was the most professional and helpful.

The day we arrived the weather was 27 degrees celcius. Our room is sun facing with huge windows. Upon arrival the heaters in the room were maxed out and we honestly felt like we were entering a sauna. Unfortunately the AC is central and so we weren't able to open it, and all the fans were being used, we had to stay out of the hotel most of the day as the heat was suffocating.

Everything was very nice. I will come back. I just need to know about the refund? They charged me 230 dollars extra. Please refund it as soon as possible to my card. Thank you.

This place was like a storybook. Everything about it. We made the mistake of walking with our bags to the hotel from the ferry, that was not great, it's very steep, found out later they offer a shuttle. So do that :-). The hotel is gorgeous and is surrounded by botanical gardens. The breakfast was wonderful, the staff was so helpful and wonderful. They host a lot of weddings and it is a perfect place for that but it wasn't intrusive or loud.

I loved everything about this place.

GORGEOUS GORGEOUS! This is the epitome of Lake Como. Their grounds are on a botanical garden with wonderful photo opportunities. The room was large with a great view of the lake. They gave us a thank you package upon checkout and booked the shuttle to the train station for us.

The patio/bar hours were a little confusing but wasn’t a deal breaker.

This hotel is really very special. It is absolutely charming and clean and you cannot beat the location. The Botanic gardens are part of the property. They are beautiful and the views here of the lake are stunning. The staff are extremely polite and helpful. They looked after our bags for us when we arrived early and also on the day we left, after our official check-out time. The breakfast in the morning, at the hotel is absolutely delicious- what a spread!

The garden was beautiful, room was comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. Only issue is that they only have one check-in counter with a lot going on, especially with all of the people in line trying to get into the garden. Overall, it was great.
