This place is about 5 minutes from the train station, the travel agency is right next door, and it's about 2 minutes from the lake, so you won't have any problems getting around. The rooms are basic and small, but adequate. The main downside if the wifi, which you need to get a password for using an Italian cell phone,... More

my wife and I were on a driving holiday in Italy. By chance we drove past Hotel Beretta with the intention of going to Switzerland. When I stopped at the STOP sign opposite the Hotel I suggested to my wife that we should perhaps see if we could get a room for the night. One night turned to three and... More

I think that the other reviews before mine have given a good idea of the pros and cons for this place. It is not the romantic experience that some pricier Varenna hotels offer, but it is a good value at a very convenient location to the train station, and certain rooms offer excellent value. We arrived early in the day... More

Another great Lake Como hotel. I stayed here for a couple of nights and enjoyed it very much. Varenna is a beautiful town, and the Albergo Beretta is a very inexpensive place with an extremely friendly staff. I would definitely stay here again. Located near the ferry, and close to most of the city. More

We found this place through Rick Steves. We had reservations but when we showed up our room was not available. The choice was to stay in a very tiny room with no bath, or a much larger room with a bath. They would not discount the price of the larger room, even though it was their fault our room wasn't...

Loved staying at the Albergo Beretta in Varenna. It was just a short walk from the station and another very short walk to Lake Como. We caught the ferry that took us all around the lake and was so reasonably priced. The staff at the Beretta were very friendly and the room was very comfortable. Downstairs was a corner shop... More

Do you want to pay 70 euro for a good place or 140 euro for a better place? This hotel is convenient, reasonable price, people are very helpful, good food and wine. It is a little loud because of street noise but that really is the only complaint. you can see the lake and mountains, you are close to the... More

This hotel is quite conveniently located - near the train station and close to the water front. That said, Varenna is a little town so maybe most hotels are convenient. Also, the hotel staff was friendly and warm - even the ones who spoke little or no English. The hotel lobby is literally a local coffee shop spilling over with... More
