Villa Torretta looks out over one of the most beautiful views we've ever seen. Our room (#5) was wonderfully furnished and the windows took in the amazing views of Lake Como and the mountains. Laura was a delight, spoke good English, and made our stay there perfect. We had one of our best meals at Hotel Olivedo during our two... More

This property is a perfect choice if you're staying in Varenna. The hotel opener/hostess was absolutely lovely and treated us wonderfully.

(We had actually booked the Hotel Olivedo--but were put... More

If we are lucky enough to get back to Varenna, and we hope we will, we would not even consider staying anywhere other than the beautiful Villa Torretta right on the lake.
