Highlights

Rooms: 10 large and well-kept rooms

Dining: Locanda Cavallino with 50 indoor seats

Location: Lake Como shores in Varenna

Heritage: family-run business for four generations

“This hotel's Art Nouveau design stands out, especially when you consider that it's a family-run business near the ferry and train, which made getting around simple. I think the balconies overlooking Lake Como are a real treat. Plus, having a restaurant that focuses on Lombardy cuisine right there is a definite advantage.”
