Hotel Villa Cipressi Restaurant In Varenna

Beautiful place with a wonderful waterfront and a cool place for photos

I only went into the hotel gardens because they had been recommended to me for their beauty, and they truly were some of the best views and scenery I had on my trip to the lake. You feel like you're in a fairy tale. It's very well maintained, the paths are clean and well-marked. I was there for a couple of hours, but I could easily have spent the whole day admiring its beauty. It's absolutely gorgeous!

We went to visit the village decorated with Christmas lights and to have some mulled wine, and everything was very nice and clean, and the service was very quick and friendly.

We stayed there for my daughter's wedding in July 2025. The wedding party had the whole hotel for nearly three days. The venue is spectacular, the staff was incredibly warm and accommodating, and the food and drinks were first-rate. The rooms were spacious and had all the amenities anyone would need. Did I mention the views? I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone traveling to the Lake Como area!

I didn't stay at the hotel, but I did enjoy the enchanted garden during the Christmas season. A fairytale on the shores of one of the most beautiful and evocative lakes in the world!

On Sunday, January 4, at 6:30 p.m., we toured the Villa's gardens, transformed into a Christmas Garden for the Christmas season. Booking online was easy, and we found all the necessary information on the website, including the ease of parking in the multi-storey car park just a few dozen meters from the Villa. Even though the sun had already set (and we missed the view of the lake—we recommend going at sunset), the Christmas Garden's displays exceeded our expectations and were enchanting. We also enjoyed a delicious aperitif in the beautiful frescoed hall. A highly recommended experience!

Interesting botanical gardens. The Christmas lights at dusk are charming. The restaurants are lovely! The only downside is the price, which in my opinion is excessive! Still, it's worth a visit.

I visited the villa for the first time during the Christmas period, so the atmosphere was magical. The location is wonderful, right on the lake. Absolutely worth a visit.

We visited the garden in winter, with its Christmas lights. It was truly beautiful.

A visit to the beautiful garden. It's a shame that some parts were closed without us being informed at the entrance. A very pleasant tea room with pastries and an outdoor view of the lake.
