Hotel Villa Cipressi Restaurant In Varenna

Had a fantastic weekend here for a family wedding stunning location and equally stunning staff

I didn't stay in the hotel, but I visited the hotel's botanical garden. I recommend! Beautiful views, wonderful plants

WiFi was a bit intermittent. If more than 3 people were using it, it would drop out a lot Lots of stairs Rooms were comfortable enough

Had a short stay here sometime late May. Essentially a wedding hotel with a killer view. Rooms are rather claustrophobic, but not surprising due to the location - it's all narrow paths and walkways throughout Varenna. The front desk staff, bar man, garden crew, and even the team at breakfast were all really nice, helpful and polite. So great job to them. However, I'm docking one star for that ONE sour-faced man assigned to transport me to the train station just a 5-minute drive away. He had the audacity to ask me for a tip, and the manner in which it was asked felt entitled and sarcastic. Not only that, he was completely thankless and remained sour-faced even after I gave him EUR20. Not a single smile, not an acknowledgement, just took it and walked away as though he felt insulted doing me this big favor and couldn't wait to leave. Bad way to end the entire experience. Would've been 4 stars otherwise.

Just an opinion on the gardens.. I loved They are magnificent 10€ and it’s a fireworks display of flowers, plants, trees from the region To discover Much prettier in my opinion than the monastery next door

Unfortunately, I'm unable to provide feedback on the rooms as I didn't have an overnight stay. However, I can share my experience of visiting the gardens after a leisurely stroll along the road outside town. Despite encountering some challenging paths for individuals with limited mobility, I found the effort to be rewarding. The gardens offered breathtaking views and enchanting pathways leading to delightful spots. The terrace also provided a beautiful setting to relax and enjoy another round of stunning views with a refreshing drink.

The best hotel I have ever stayed at

5 euro to enter the garden. The garden is small but the view is worth it, especially if you are doing it at the end of the day.

We had our wedding at Villa Cipressi and we cannot say enough about how exceptional and amazing it was! The staff at Hotel Villa Cipressi were exceptional - first class all the way. The views are out of this world, the ambiance is casually romantic, and even the food was gourmet and over the top. Our wedding coordinator was Beth from My Italian Lake Wedding and we cannot say enough wonderful things about her. If you are looking for your perfect wedding day host it at Villa Cipressi and contact Beth. Varenna. Villa Cipressi, Lake Como all led to a storybook wedding - beyond our dreams!

Only visited the garden, very well looked after. A nice relaxing walk with nice corners to relax and take wonderful photos.
