This is a fantastic place to stay at Lake Como. The well-tended gardens add charm and a touch of mystery (check out the grotto), with broad views at the center of the lake. The property is very well managed, with helpful and friendly staff. We had a lake view (recommended as the street side would be a disappointment with street... More

The perfect spot for a romantic weekend with your beloved. A bit old fashioned but that is part of the charm. Excellent food in the restaurant and the most beautiful views on the lake. Do spend that little more on booking a room with a lake view.

We just returned from a few day stay at the Villa. Since we were traveling with our daughter we reserved a room with a loft above the main room. This room worked out very well and had a very nice view of Lake Como as well. The room was very clean although very basic...comfortable and nice. The hotel staff was... More

A gorgeous villa, the rooms have amazing lake views. The hotel is famous for it's beautiful gardens. I love the town of Varenna; it's not as crowded with tourists as Bellagio. It's a pretty town with cute lakeside restaurants and shops, and it's easy to get there by train from Milan.

We visited to see the gardens overlooking Lake Como, as part of the hotel grounds. Very peaceful with lovely views. We stayed for dinner in the outside area of the restaurant. A wedding reception was also being held separately. We all had a stunning view over Lake Como and was especially romantic at dusk, with the hazy pinks and blues... More

I have visited this hotel over the last 10 years. Whilst its position and the gardens are superb, the bar service has become worse and worse over the last few years. It is now virtually impossible to get a drink and the rooms have no tea/coffee making facilities. It never used to be like this and the hotel's priority should... More

My husband and I have recently returned home after an amazing holiday touring through several parts of Italy for our wedding. We had the wedding in Villa Cipressi (Como Lake) and everything was great. The manager helped us in all the details. We found everything on the internet . Gabriella Greppi (the floris) was amazing! As wedding photographer we found... More

We literally were walk-ins at the Villa Cipressi at 10:00 am one Sunday morning when we were forced to cancel our other hotel arrangements. The desk clerk was very sympathetic with our situation and gave us a room with a lovely view, and even called housekeeping to make up the room as soon as possible. During our two night stay,... More

We stayed at the Villa Cipressi for two nights. There are two sections to this hotel. It appears that we stayed in the older part. Unfortunately, we were unable to get a room with a lake view. Our room faced the street, but it was quiet enough at night as as to not be a problem. The room was huge.... More
