Krystal, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This property is beautiful, the view from our room was amazing. Sitting outside for breakfast and dinner and taking in the views was breathtaking. Such a romantic hotel. The rooms are a little tight and we were a bit squished with our large suitcases - this is also a common theme in many of these hotels. The staff were so helpful.

Lisa, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I rarely write reviews, but I had to for my stay here at Hotel Royal Victoria, as it truly went above and beyond all of my expectations. I stayed here for almost a week in July 2025, as my wedding took place down the block, at Villa Monastero. The front desk and concierge were so helpful (Nipa and Marco) during my stay. They took care of all the things I couldn't do, such as providing a shuttle for my wedding, assisting my very handicap father, booking taxis back to Milan, reserving dinners, opening the bar past hours for my guests, and letting me use their steamer for my wedding dress and my husband's tuxedo. Everyone here is so kind and helpful. Breakfast with the view is exceptional as well. If I ever come back to Lake Como, I would absolutely stay here again.
Samantha, 6-night trip

Carmelo, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Being in Verenna allows for all the beauty of Lake Como, without the chaos of Bellagio. It is also easy to take a quick (and beautiful) ferry ride to Bellagio if you so wish! The facilities themselves are very nice and have a resort feal to them.
Giovana, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful views

Beautiful setting and staff very friendly. We had a room with balcony looking out onto lake. One negative-parking is a problem.
Brenda, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very nice hotel in Varenna. The staff were super helpful. We were worried that our luggage service may have issues finding the place since it’s along Lake Como but we didn’t have any issues!
