Me hospedaria todas as vezes que eu fosse para Varenna :)
Pros:

A localização do Hotel Olivedo é a melhor que tem: perto da estação de trem, de frente para o lago e a estação de ferry. Fiquei preocupada com o barulho , pelo quarto ser baixo e em cima de um bar - mas não tive qualquer problema relacionado a isso. Funcionários muito educados. Café da manhã MARAVILHOSO - um dos melhores que tivemos an Europa. Guardaram nossa bagagem pós check out até a hora do trem. Banheiro grande, chuveiro com boa pressão e apoio para amenities.

Cons:

Era maio e ainda estava frio. Não consegui fazer o aquecedor do banheiro funcionar, mas também não pedi ajuda.

Pros:

We left early to catch a train/plane. The owner ensured we had a breakfast bag with us as we left before breakfast was ready. It is a great location right across from the Ferry terminal. We sat on our balcony watching the Milan train tourists come and go. After 4pm Varenna was very quiet, and those tourists missed the best parts of Varenna. Staying here is a good idea for those who want to spend 3 or 4 days in the golden triangle of Lake Como

Cons:

Nothing

Do not stay anywhere else.
Pros:

The lady that runs the place was so kind, and hospitable. We felt very looked after.

Cons:

It's hard to fault the place. The lift is slow and there were 4 flights of stairs to get to our room is about all.

Perfect location to enjoy Varenna and explore the stunning lake destinations!
Pros:

The hotel is located in a perfect location and we had a beautiful room in the annex that had a large balcony looking out to the lake. On arrival the lady at the front desk was lovely and extremely helpful and also during our stay. There were plenty of options for breakfast and the waiter was very efficient. We also enjoyed a lovely meal at the restaurant and drinks at the outdoor bar while looking out to the lake. The whole experience at the hotel and in the location was the highlight of our holiday!

Fabulous location - across the street from the ferry dock and a short walk to the heart of town. Exceptional staff and private parking onsite. Stayed in the “annex” - separate building with spacious modern rooms.
