Guest Reviews
- Kim (10/5): Wonderful time in Varenna! - The location was amazing! The staff were very informative and helpful!
- Rayra (10/5): Me hospedaria todas as vezes que eu fosse para Varenna :) - 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. Era maio e ainda estava frio. Não consegui fazer o aquecedor do banheiro funcionar, mas também não pedi ajuda.
- Victor (10/5): Do not stay anywhere else. - The lady that runs the place was so kind, and hospitable. We felt very looked after. 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.
- Geoffrey (9/5): - 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 Nothing
- Ludmyla (10/5): Гарні враження та хороший сервіс - Усе чудово і дуже атмосферно
- Christine (9/5): - Der Ausblick von unserem Hotelzimmer aus auf den Comer See und auf die Berge war fantastisch.
Außerdem gibt es nebenan ein sehr schönes, zum Hotel gehörendes Restaurant was ein exzellentes Essen anbietet. Sehr zu empfehlen. Nichts
- Ana Carolina (10/5): Amei! - Excelente localização, café da manhã e gentileza dos funcionários. Adoraria voltar.

- Tom (10/5): Ideal hotel in Varenna. Fabulous staff - 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.
- Tamara (10/5): -
- Jason (10/5): Perfect location to enjoy Varenna and explore the stunning lake destinations! - 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!
- Janet (9/5): Warm hospitality, great location, fantastic views! - What a beautiful location. Easy to walk into the town. Beautiful views! Great hospitality! The rooms in the Annex on the second floor were a little difficult to get to for older individuals.
- Debbie (9/5): A lovely hotel and definitely recommend if visiting Varenna. - A great location! Lovely staff who were very helpful. Very clean and comfortable with a good breakfast.
- Roger (10/5): - +5
- sabine (8/5): -
- Julia (8/5): We enjoyed Aurora. Good location. - The location and the people. Especially Katerina! Breakfast was also great! My mattress was old, but as soon as I mentioned it, there was a topper put on it. Made a huge difference. Bathroom is nice but very small.
- Ariana (9/5): -
- Debloghian (10/5): -
- Coral (10/5): Perfect stay - We loved everything in this hotel. Staff was friendly, helpful and just awesome. Our room in the annex was bigger than expected and had a spectacular view.

- Jo (10/5): Love Love Love….coming back 👍 - Fabulous location with brilliant hotel staff service. Comfortable bed and amenities 🇦🇺
- Mary Anne (10/5): old charm in a perfect location - the location was perfect. the restaurant next door was excellent food. . we had a room with a view of the lake the elevator was small, and slow but it was a reflection of the charm of an older hotel.

- Katherine (10/5): An absolute gem! - Wonderful location. Fantastic staff. Great breakfast.
- Timothy (10/5): Exceeded Expectations - Beautiful - Hotel Olivedo was an amazing choice. We loved the hostess and historic vibe of this property. The balcony was amazing. Very convenient to train station and ferry. Very clean with a daily maid service. Breakfast was well appointed with a cappuccino and selection of pastries, proteins, and fruits. We completely loved our stay here and look forward to returning one day. The ferry is so convenient that you get to people watch as they stand in line.
- Wall (10/5): We had a wonderful stay! - The location is excellent. We had a great view of the water and mountains and we were right by the ferry dock. The breakfast in the mornings was the best I’ve ever had. They had an arrangement of pastries, fruit, meat, cheeses and we also had the ability to order hot items like bacon, eggs and pancakes.
- Janice (10/5): - Very comfy room in the annex Bed and shower are perfect.
Considering it poured and was cold, we managed to enjoy the wonderful restaurant on the property, see most of picturesque Varenna, and get to Bellagio as the location was near to the ferry.
The staff were courteous and kind. Offering help before we requested.
- Nicole (10/5): -
- Brenda (10/5): Great location, great view, really worth the price. - Location, the view, and the price! Elevator is small and slow, but not a huge issue.
- Richard (7/5): Overall sufficed - Location Room was an annex location but nice. Seemed a bit outdated
- Diana (10/5): Would like to come again - Great location & helpful staff N/A
- Shmuel Menachem (6/5): לא ממליץ - לא אהבנו שמו אותי במבנה בצד לא במלון עצמו וזה מאוד לא נוח
גם אין נוף כמו ששילמתי עליו
די עבודה בעיניים עם הנוף שנתנו לי דרך חלון קטן
גם ארוחת הבוקר דלה ולא מתאימה למחיר
- Dmitriy (10/5): - Everything was perfect! The location, interior, bathroom - everything was in a very good condition. The staff at the reception and in the restaurant for breakfast were really helpful.
- Patrick (8/5): -
- Wessam (9/5): -
- Celia (6/5): Bien pero mejorable - Nos gustó el trato y la ubicación pero la cama y los baños regular La presión del agua, el baño y el colchón
- Patricia (9/5): Amazing small hotel - Location location location
Friendly staff , pretty hotel
Great breakfast The windows in the bedroom needed shades to prevent morning light
- Mary Ann (10/5): Best location and great staff! - The location was perfect and the staff was very helpful! The Resturant next door was also excellent.
- Yogueswarane (9/5): -
- Steven (10/5): - Ideal location
- Qi (9/5): -
- Aurora (9/5): Visstas espectaculares sobre el lago di Como - La habitación que nos tocó era en planta baja con una terraza enorme y vistas espectaculares sobre el lago di Como. Pertenece al anexo recién hecho, muy moderno del hotel original, el cual es muy antiguo.
Además nos pusieron a nuestra llegada una botella de Proseco. Detalle muy apreciado. La recpecionista es un poco especial... es decir, no muy amable.
También el desayuno me pareció muy justo en cuanto a calidad y cantidad por el tipo de habitación quenos tocó , en la parte nueva (anexo al hotel principal). El hotel original es antiguo aunque tien su encanto.
- Isabelle (10/5): Séjour exceptionnel ! - La situation de l’hôtel, la chambre magnifique et le petit déjeuner excellent.
- Elazem (10/5): - The honte were amazing and kind !
- Vitalii (10/5): Однозначно варто зупинитися в цьому готелі. - Місце розташування та краєвиди з вікна. Дуже чемний та привітний персонал. Дуже смачно готують в ресторані.
- SOOJUNG (10/5): - Good location and kind staffs None
- cinzia (8/5): -
- William (9/5): -
- Valeria (10/5): -
- Bailey (10/5): -
- Chris (10/5): - Beautiful location, amazing room and view from the annex
- Maria (8/5): Perfekt läge om man ska besöka Comosjön. - Hotellet ligger precis mitt emot båtarna till bl a Menaggio och Bellagio. Jättebekvämt men man hör också alla som står och väntar och bilar som rullar på färjorna ifall man är lättstörd men vi tyckte inte att det gjorde något. Lagom promenadavstånd från tågstationen.
Frukosten var över all förväntan och man kunde äta sig rikligt mätt. Det fanns frallor, bröd att rosta, croiassanter och andra bakverk. Gott pålägg, yoghurt i små förpackningar och man beställde vilken sorts kaffe man ville ha och fick t ex scrambled eggs med bacon gjort på beställning. Väldigt gott.
Hotellet har många trappor men det finns hiss, förutom till översta våningen.
Personalen var trevlig och speciellt en kvinna, som kanske var ägarinnan eller föreståndaren. Hon var trevlig och gav tips på bra restaurang.
Vi skulle bo där igen om vi kommer tillbaka till Varenna. Vi hade ett badkar och det fanns inget duschdraperi vilket gör att det blir ganska blött på golvet när man duschar stående.
Sängen och kuddarna var lite för hårda.
- Svetlana (9/5): - The breakfast was good, though I would have liked some vegetables.
The location was fantastic, right next to where the ferry stops for Bellagio and Mennagio. Just a 5-minute walk to the old town in Varenna. I had a room on the fourth floor with a window in a sloping roof. When I went to open the window, the roller blind came loose and hit me right on the forehead with a metal plate, so I suffered a head injury. The blind should have been secured more securely.
- Delac69 (9/5): Vareena gem Lake Como - What a beautiful place to stay, lovely staff who were so helpful and welcoming.
The outlook from our room was so incredible overlooking Lake Como, ferries opposite hotel and easy access to the beautiful board walk to multiple restaurant's overlooking the lake. Nothing
- Nara (8/5): - My husband and I stayed in the lake view room which had amazing views.
The staff were courteous.
We appreciated the shutters on the windows which kept the room dark enough, and the double glazed windows meant the outside noise wasn't too bad at night and in the morning. The main downside of the hotel is that we could hear our neighbours above stomping on the floor at night and in the morning, and that the beds were not very comfortable, especially if someone tosses around while sleeping.
- Laura (10/5): We would love to come back and see the owner again. She is fabulous! - The staff were superb, so friendly and helpful. The view from our room was stunning and the location was perfect.
- Sonya (10/5): -
- Arnaud (10/5): - Personnel très sympathiques
Chambre très spacieuse et confortable
Hôtel avec beaucoup de charme tout en étant Confortable
Petit déjeuner de qualité et varié rien
- Debra (9/5): - Shower that didn't leak. Fantastic lake view. Cafe outside hotel. There was a lift for luggage. Friendly staff. Beautiful breakfast croissants.
- Anton (10/5): - The staff is exceptional so helpful and friendly. I wish we had one more day. Absolutely nothing.
- Tim (10/5): The best trip we ever had! - It was our first time to Lake Como. We are so glad we decided to stay in Varenna. And we are especially glad we found the Hotel Olivedo. It was absolutely perfect. We had a room with a balcony view of the lake. We felt like we were in heaven!
- Ekin Selin (8/5): Güzel bir otel fakat çalışanlara dikkat edin ve değerli eşyalarınızı koruyun. - Konumu harika, odaları geniş ve manzarası çok güzel. Otelden çıkış yaparken airpodumu odada unutmuşum. Çalışlanlardan biri almış ve kendisi kullanmaya başlamış. Telefonumdan konum takip edebildiğim için evine kadar götürdüğünü açıkça görebildim. Ertesi gün otele gittik ve bizim kattan sorumlu çalışanı bulduk, almamış gibi davrandı ve otel sahibi bahaneler bulmaya başladı. Airpodumun alarmını çaldırmamla çalışanın bulmuş gibi yapıp bana getirmesi bir oldu. Otelin çalışanlarının kaybolan eşyaları alıp evine götürmek yerine unutan kişiye ulaşmasını beklerdim.
- Tubbita-Travels (10/5): - Charming old world hotel. A jewel from another era. Staff is excellent, rooms delightful, had a wonderful stay and would love to go back.
- Sue (8/5): Excellent location, warm, cosy room - Location was fantastic- right on the lake. Unfortunately the weather was pretty foul so ferries were cancelled! The very slow lift, but at least it had one!
- Leanne (8/5): Fantastic , would recommend to everyone - Very central hotel , staff were fantastic and the view and breakfast was great had a nice charm about the place Bed was to hard for my liking - other then that I can’t complain
- Paulo (9/5): Ficaria lá novamente - A localizacao nao poderia ser melhor! Exatamente em frente à estacao das barcas e muito proxima ao centro historico. O hotel é bastante antigo, muito tradicional, mas possue um elevador (lento) e quartos e banheiro modernizados. A vista do lago é maravilhosa. O hotel é administrado pela familia e todos são extremamente gentis e prestativos. O café da manha poderia ser melhor.
- ALBERT (8/5): -
- Rhonda (9/5): A beautiful room with views of the lake from all windows. A delightful stay. - The location was great. The breakfasts were delicious and the staff were very helpful. Nothing
- ryan & liv (10/5): Would love to visit and stay here again! Truly magical! - We loved the view ... it was amazing of a honeymoon, and super romantic! Staff was friendly, and the hotel location was easily accessible from the Varenna train station, and just right at the ferry terminal. The hotel was a bit old, so the floors got quite creeky when we walked on them sometimes. But it was a small matter compared to the entire experience of the stay!
- Robert (10/5): It was an excellent hotel. I would recommend it to anyone. - Great staff, breakfast, location Nothing
- Smaha (10/5): - Чудове місце для зупинки на озері Комо. Дуже зручне розташування прямо біля порту, звідки відправляються човни та пароми. Номер був чистий, затишний і з неймовірним видом з вікна. Вечеря на балконі під зорями стала одним із найкращих моментів нашої подорожі.
Персонал дуже привітний і завжди готовий допомогти. Готель у стриманому італійському стилі — без зайвого пафосу, але з атмосферою справжньої Італії. Смачний сніданок, після якого точно не залишишся голодним.
Дякуємо за гостинність і допомогу в різних ситуаціях під час нашого перебування. Обов’язково повернулися б ще.
- Barbara (10/5): We were very happy with our stay at this hotel. - It is a landmark on lake Como. The room was comfortable and well appointed. The receptionists were attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful. The breakfast staff was exceptional, and the food was very good. The view of the lake and ferry dock was entertaining. There was nothing about the hotel that we disliked.

- Vihar (10/5): - Very nice heritage hotel to stay in Varenna, decent breakfast also hotel is jump away from farry station which makes visiting other como towns so easy. Owner and her family is very kind and always ready to help. Highly recommend place in Varenna. None.
- Tania (8/5): - El hotel está en una localización espectacular, en frente del puerto de los Ferris. Por su antigüedad el hotel tiene una ambientación que te transporta al pasado, a la vez que las instalaciones están bien mantenidas. Se podían escuchar bastante los pasos de las personas en el piso de arriba. Algo que teniendo en cuenta la antigüedad del edificio es de esperar.
- Katrin (10/5): - Fantastiskt hus och fantastisk personal. Mycket god frukost.
- Maureen (8/5): - Excellent Location. The staff went out of their way to be friendly The shower tub did not have a shower curtain hence the floor gets all wet when showering
- Shantel (10/5): - Exceptionally friendly staff, amazing location, incredible restaurant and gorgeous breakfast setting and service. Old world charm with modern comfort enhanced our time in Varenna. Highly recommend.
- Malgorzata (9/5): Beautiful stay in a historical place :) - The authentic feeling and the location, the hotel was built in 1896 and recently renovated. The room was spacious and comfortable with amazing lake views.
The breakfast was good, just missing some vegetables like tomatoes or cucumber. Unfortunately, the check out is at 10am, we asked for slight extension but was refused. Note to the owners: please consider changing your policy as your guests are on holidays and would appreciate a bit more time in the morning :) 11 or 12 should be the standard, almost didn’t book because of the early check out.
