Hotel Villa Cipressi - by R Collection Hotels

Staff was exceptional as was the room, view and grounds. only issue was the shuttle. we tried calling and messaging but no one responded so we walked from the train station. Walking was fine, not responding to phone calls or whatsapp was not.

This hotel has excellent staff, very clean rooms, perfect location, and beautiful grounds. The only downside is allowing smoking near the outside dining patio.

Very clean and updated room. Lots of personal touches throughout our stay: a hand written note in our room with some chocolates/cookies and complimentary prosecco. The grounds were stunning and it was a special treat to have access to the gardens after hours. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Hotel Villa Cipressi was a highlight of our Lake Como trip. We were unexpectedly upgraded to a beautiful suite with incredible lake views in two different directions, and honestly, it made the stay unforgettable. The breakfast was excellent, the staff was warm and attentive, and the hotel even arranged pickup from the train station, which was greatly appreciated. One note for travelers: Varenna gets very crowded during the middle of the day, especially with visitors coming to see the botanical gardens. My advice is to book a great room with a view and treat it as your peaceful mid-day retreat. Explore the hotel grounds and wander the town in the mornings and evenings when Varenna is at its best.
