Villa Rêverie - Boutique Hotel

We had a room overlooking the lake and it was lovely. Hotel staff was very helpful with recommendations for activities and restaurants. We would recommend staying here.

Villa Reverie is gorgeous. Aspect looking out across Lake Como is fabulous. Staff are excellent. Customer service exceptional. Would we go again - absolutely. Highly recommend. Having emailed prior to our stay we were collected from the train station by the villa’s shuttle. 2 minute drive (if that). 6minute walk. Welcome on arrival was great. Staff speak good English. Welcome glass of Prosecco (other drinks probably available - but they got us at “Prosecco”). Bags were deposited in our room while we sat and enjoyed the view from the very pretty terrace overlooking Lake Como. The villa has a lift, but stairs between floors are short. There is excellent air conditioning - a bonus as in mid 30’s everyday we were there. There was a mini bar in our room. Some free bottled water each day. We also took up fresh milk every night for coffee in the morning. Breakfast was very good - Self service generous buffet. Our recommendation would be a lakeside view with or without a balcony. We had a street side room, and the road does get a bit busy, but the room is quiet when windows are shut. Bathroom was very well appointed, We weren’t so keen on the floor to ceiling clear glass wall between it and our bed. But it was a small matter overall. Drinks are available all day downstairs. Coffees, teas, wines, beers and standard cocktails. The villa offers a free shuttle to their sister restaurant in the hills above Varenna too. Staff offer excellent recommendations.

Breakfast overlooking Lake Como was outstanding. The walk to/from town and train station was not wonderful. The staff, especially Matteo, were amazing. We rented a boat and toured the lake for a few hours. Also went to the Orrido waterfalls. Quiet and quaint little town without the crushing tourists in Verrano and Bellagio.

The villa was exceptionally clean, perfectly located near town and the train station, breakfast was fantastic and the staff made everything wonderful. I could not imagine staying in the overly crowded villages other than Bellano where the villa is located. If I ever return to Lake Como, there is absolutely no other place we will stay. I cannot recommend the property enough.
