Guest Reviews

• Patti (10/5): Amazing view and wonderful facility! - The hosts were very welcoming, helpful and provided great information for us to jump in on our visit. Everything was convenient. A beautiful view with everything you need.
• Jo (10/5): Brilliant views from Hydrangea we will never forget. Bells marking the rhythms of the day. Varenna is a gorgeous village - Beautiful scenery all around. Wonderful people who were so attentive and helpful. MG and Christian are delightful people who made us feel at home. Rita is the world’s most friendly and punctual taxi driver. Nothing. It was perfect. Especially MG and Christian. Grazie mille.🙏🥂
• Muriel Bertrand (8/5): -
• Grullon (10/5): -
• Anita (10/5): Heavenly place to stay. - Beautiful villa in a stunning location overlooking the lake. The two guys thatbrun the villa could not have been more helpful . Ideally come by train as car parking is limited in Varenna.
• kgrasso555 (10/5): Wonderful - View, location, service, communication. Clean excellent . Nothing.
• Hulot (9/5): -
• Thiago (10/5): Perfeita! - O quarto era perfeito. Cama e chuveiro muito bons. Até cortinas automatizadas o quarto tinha para o nosso conforto. A vila fica muito bem localizada, o que nos ajudou muito. Quero deixar um destaque especial para a equipe da vila, Christian e MG foram incríveis conosco. Ambos falavam inglês muito bem, nos deram excelentes recomendações, nos forneceram guarda chuva no dia em que choveu, nos ajudaram a ligando para fazer reservas e ajustar o horário de um ingresso já comprado. Até nos deram uma carona do trem para a vila. Ficaria hospedado aqui mais mil vezes. Obrigado pela recepção!
• Bhanu (9/5): Superb stay. - facilities, hosts et al - Hospitality and responsiveness of hosts - Christian and MG Size of the room View from the room Nothing bad that I experienced. All good - just be mindful that one needs to be physically fit to stay here - even if u take a taxi to reach the place - you need to climb 30+ steps each time to reach the apartment. Plus, in order to reach most nice lake front restaurants you need to also take multiple steps down from the main road in Varenna.
• Romero (9/5): Fantastica - LA ubicacion y el personal de recepcionmuy amables
• Matt (5/5): Really disappointed. Location was the only good thing about this property. It needs to be renovated and cleaned up. They - Location I was not given the apartment I booked. The picture shown when I booked was different than what I received. I should have had the 2 bedroom with windows like it was shown during the booking. There were ants and other insects on the floor. There was not enough coffee in the room.
• Christophe (9/5): C’était un très beau séjour, dans un bâtiment incroyable - Très bien placé, bâti de charme, bien équipé, literie de qualité, réactivité des gestionnaires, vu sur le lac, très calme, la bouteille de vin pétillant, les petites attentions (the, café, spéculos…) Pas simple de se garer, margelle de la piscine à fixer
• Amy (10/5): Lovely property in one of the most beautiful locations in the world! - Beautiful location, lovely room/property, helpful and kind service…can’t say anything but good things. The property is close to the town center (3 min walk) but nice to be slightly outside of all the people. Christian was so helpful, from arranging taxis for us, and making recommendations. Nothing
• Ana (10/5): Apartamento acolhedor e simpatia no acolhimento - Gostei imenso da localização e do apartamento, e principalmente do acolhimento do Christian que foi sempre muito simpático e que nos orientou muito bem e deu imensas dicas para aproveitarmos ao máximo a nossa estadia e os nossos passeios maravilhosos pelo lago. Agradecemos-lhe imenso por isso!
• Miguel Angel (10/5): -
• Jillian (10/5): -
• Kelly (10/5): We hope to visit again some day. We were only there for two nights and it was far too short. - The location of Villa Monti was perfect for my family of four, as well as our two friends that traveled with us and stayed in a separate room. Christian was amazing, friendly, attentive and was able to arrange for an amazing last minute boat rental for us, as well as recommend a fantastic restaurant that we reserved for our last night. We felt so safe at Villa Monti and Varenna as a whole. Our two bedroom apartment was perfect for our family of four, spacious, clean, and had a gorgeous window in the kitchen/living space with a view of the lake. There wasn't really anything I could say that was a dislike about the property.
• Jean-Baptiste (9/5): Un super séjour dans un duplex au top - Nous avons apprécié la qualité de l'emplacement; le duplex donnait sur une vue du lac de Côme incroyable. Egalement, le duplex était très bien équipé et rien ne manquait si on souhaitait se faire à manger (huille d'olive, sel, poivre, capsules de café, bouteilles d'eau). La piscine est également disponible quand on le souhaite Rien
• Alexis (9/5): -
• Jessica (9/5): -
• Peter (10/5): -
• Julia (10/5): Beautiful location - Lovely and clean, really well equipped and perfect location. Beautiful views and outside areas. Staff extremely helpful, organising taxis and ensuring we have everything we need.
• Evelyn (8/5): Good location Terrific staff. Stairs were a killer. - Staff were beyond excellent. However I was not expecting a top floor apartment, or the the low beams criss crossing the property. View was excellent but you had to stand to see out the window. The 97 stairs were just too much. Would stay again in an apartment on the ground floor.
• Carissa (9/5): Enjoyed our stay, but property needs updating of living room and 2nd shower. - Staff (Christian) was amazing! 2nd bathroom didn’t really have a functional shower. Was advertised as two full bathrooms. Living room couch and decor disappointing. Didn’t flow with other rooms. A lot of stairs and no elevator.
• charles (5/5): - dans la chambre manque table de chevet et lampadaire. et prose de courant
• Nitesh (9/5): -
• Catherine (10/5): We loved our stay here! The manager Christian was very helpful and responsive. He actually reached out to us before we a - The villa was beautiful amazing views kitchen was well stocked beds were comfortable and apartment was very clean. There are a lot of stairs, so consider this if stairs are problem for you.
• Cheryl (10/5): Wish we could’ve stayed longer. This place was fantastic. Romantic, roomy, clean, beautiful. - Location, views, grounds. It completely hey exceeded our expectations.
• Paula (10/5): Exceptional apartment with stunning views and fabulous location. - Stunning views. Excellent location. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful. N/a
• Kim (10/5): I would highly recommend Villa Monti. Christian was so kind and helpful and our apartment was immaculate!! - The property was in a great location, easy walking distance to the town square. Villa Monti was fantastic with amazing views over Lake Como and beautiful gardens. A lot of stairs and no lift.
• Lisa (10/5): - christian called me soon as i landed in milan to say he was there to meet me with keys.. he was so helpful and so friendly. he even dropped us to the bus for our train to go back to milan! amazing service and such a beautiful place! thank u for an great experience christian
• Lucy (10/5): We loved staying at Villa Monti and hope to return again! - Amazing location, close to everything we needed but also safe and quiet. N/a
• Reweti (9/5): Christian is a great host. - Great hospitality. Great vibe. Great place.
• James (9/5): -
• Vicki (10/5): Villa Monti was the perfect place for our stay in Varenna - Beautiful view, wonderful room and great location.
• Pamela (10/5): A once in a lifetime Italian villa fantasy! - Fairytale location overlooking Lake Como, from the villa tower “crows nest”. Spacious and modern design inside an old historic villa. Exceptional host, Christian, made sure we had everything we needed. It was a twelve star experience! No elevator. Christian carried our bags. But lots of stairs for the enchanting experience (we are seniors)
• yichang (10/5): - La posizione è fantastica e l'host è molto entusiasta e disponibile per aiutarci nel nostro viaggio.😁
• Tanner (10/5): - This was our favorite part of our trip! Location was wonderful and staff were amazing. We will definitely be back!
• Ilhan (10/5): A definite spot to return to! - The villa was beautiful inside and outside! The location is also perfect, walking distance to many must see spots! The best part was the warm welcome from Christian. He was very helpful, kind, and gave amazing suggestions! Nothing. Wish I stayed longer!
• Leanne (9/5): Stunning. - The location was amazing. The view was stunning. Maybe the stairs but the view is why I booked it so we just sucked it up because it was worth it.
• Viv (10/5): Christian and MG do all they can to assist - Stunning location. Excellent hosts.
• Katy (8/5): Loved Varenna. - The meet and greet was excellent. MG took us through all the details and gave us excellent information about Lake Como. The residents is absolutely beautiful although we were disappointed we couldn’t have a balcony or a view we just sit back too. Also, the large, beams were in a very awkward spot. Would I stay there again. I would, now I know the rooms situation. Gardens and close to main Piazza.
• Sophie (8/5): Très bel endroit - La vue et l emplacement Chambres spacieuses Logement très marsarde Photos un peu optimistes sur vue magnifique mais uniquement debout Piscine beaucoup plus petite que sur la photo Équipement un peu juste en vaisselle et manque d ustensiles de base comme un décapsuleur ou un ouvre bouteille
• Julen (7/5): - View A/C was not working well in one of the rooms
• Jennifer (10/5): - The location was perfect and the views were spectacular. Christian was an excellent host. All in all a 5 star experience.
• Janine (10/5): We adored our stay here x - Everything Such an amazing location, view and service from Christian was outstanding x
• Maritza (10/5): We very much enjoyed our time at Villa Monti, would suggest it to friends. - The villa was exceptional. We enjoyed the short walk to town, the view and the pool. The facility was awesome. I did think the bed was a little uncomfortable for me to get a good’s nights sleep. The best part of our stay was having Christian to help navigate our reservations. I absolutely think that our days were more fun thanks to his advice and help. I would feel secure staying again knowing that Christian would be there to help make the most of our time on the lake. The bed :(
• John (10/5): Exceptional stay at Villa Monti! - Amazing stay in Varenna- wonderful and kind staff, beautiful property. Extremely well-kept rooms. Staff were so attentive, helpful, went above and beyond our expectations. 10/10 experience, would definitely return! Nothing
• Joe (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marc (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice place
• Mandy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Amy (7/5): A sweet little getaway. - Loved the location ( a bit away from the crowds), the pool area was the perfect spot for breakfast and afternoon snacks overlooking the lake! Incredible view. My friend’s daughters thoroughly enjoy the pool. The pool was quite small but perfect for an afternoon swim. Christian was a lovely host. I didn’t love our apartment. There was little natural light and the lighting at night was a bit blinding/ fluorescent. We mainly stayed outside in the pool area.
• Angela (10/5): The best lake views in Varenna! - The Villa is spectacular, our apartment had the most incredible view, the kitchenette was perfect and we had a 360 degree view of the lake, the pool area was beautiful and quiet. The location could not be better, 5 minutes walk from the city center. Highly recommend.
• Karl (10/5): Terrific stay in a beautiful place. - Magnificent views , just walking distance from the town so nice and quiet. And Christian gave us great ideas for dinners . Great host
• Meredith (10/5): Beautiful location, lovely host - Beautiful location—right next to mountains but just a few minutes from town. Loved that our apartment had a washer. You just need to know that the rooms are in an attic area—at least the rooms we stayed in (no.5).
• Chuck (10/5): You will LOVE your stay - It’s in a beautiful setting and Christian was amazing ensuring that our stay was the very best! Nothing
• Amy (10/5): Exceptional - Staying a Villa Monti in Varenna was truly a dream come true. From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by the breathtaking view of Lake Como - it's one of those sights that stays with you long after you've returned home. The villa itself is perched perfectly, offering panoramic vistas of the shimmering lake framed by the dramatic mountains. Varenna is pure magic - quaint, romantic, and full of charm. Strolling its cobbled streets felt like stepping into a postcard. The town is dotted with cozy restaurants, boutique shops, and lakeside cafes where we enjoyed some of the best cappuccino of our lives. A special mention must go to Christian, our host at Villa Monti, who was truly exceptional. He was welcoming, warm, and incredibly helpful, offering great recommendations and ensuring our stay was seamless from start to finish. If you're looking for a luxurious yet authentic Lake Como experience, Villa Monti is the place. We're already dreaming of our return!
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jane (10/5): Fantastic Villa and apartments set in an amazing location. Christian & MG great hosts ! - Hosts were there to meet us
• Susana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Justin (9/5): Superb - Views of Lake Como were fantastic and nice location close to town Internet a little slow
• Lisa (10/5): We loved our time in Varenna staying at Villa Monti. - We loved everything about our stay. The property is beautiful and clean all the facilities were great. The host MG was amazing and helpful and gave us heaps of information on what to do and where to go. The location was great a short walk from the shops. Everything was fantastic
• Raman (9/5): Good property with amazing views of the lake. Difficult for older as it is uphill with a lot of ste - There was a kitchenette with coffee and tea , pots and pans and plates and utensils if one wanted to cook. Beautiful villa, but difficult to get to for people who cannot climb steps and for older people. We had a sofa bed in our room which was very uncomfortable to sleep in. Specially for the price we paid. Needs to be replaced with a regular bed.
• Shellie (10/5): Stunning views and great location! - Amazing location with incredible views and lovely garden!! The host was available to answer questions or assist whenever needed and insisted on carrying our bags to and from the front gate, which involves a lot of stairs. Located close to Villa Monastri and just a short walk to the town square, which was never too crowded, despite the close proximity to the chaotic, tourist filled waterfront around the nearby ferry port. I’m so glad I chose to stay in Varenna rather than Bellagio or Menaggio and Villa Monti was the perfect place to do it! Bed pillows were too thin and firm but that’s really the only negative thing I can think of. Overall great place to stay.
• Seth (9/5): Charming villa with great views - MG was a really friendly host. He helped us to suggest restaurants in Varenna and arrange bookings. The place was clean and the room was well stocked. It has a great view overlooking Villa Monastero and the lake. We stayed two nights and would stay again. Other than I don’t really like foldable sofa beds, and that the villa is a bit far from the train station, nothing much.
• Nigel (10/5): Exceptional - We stayed at Villa Monti for 8 nights in April 2025 and it was the perfect choice for a longer stay on Lake Como. Having kitchen facilities gave us the option to cook for ourselves after a busy day of exploring rather than trying to find a restaurant if we were late getting back to Varenna. We have stayed previously on Lake Como and I can honestly say Villa Monti is as good as it gets at this price point. The views from our terrace were spectacular and we spent many a night there enjoying a glass of red as the sun went down. Christian and the team were the perfect hosts, there if you need them, plenty of suggestions for excursions, but also allowing us space to really relax. Cannot recommend Villa Monti highly enough!
• Andrew (9/5): Friendly and spacious with gorgeous views in Varenna - Excellent property with incredible lake views. Christian, the host went out of his way to welcome us and help us with any questions as well as provide helpful suggestions to navigate the area. Beds were not the most comfortable and shower is a bit small but overall would highly recommend and stay at Villa Monti again.
• Berryman (8/5): Very good -
• Elaine (10/5): Exceptional - personalize service and super helpful hosts
• Sandra (10/5): Exceptional -
• Katie (10/5): A wonderful stay and view in Varenna! - The views and property were gorgeous! The host was sooo helpful and kind, and available by phone to answer our questions.
• Porranee (7/5): A place with breathtaking views of the lake. - Cozy place. Because it is perched on top, it has stunning views of the lake . Huge thanks to Christian who made our stay so comfortable. The charm of this place is that it is run by a small team of people and each room is so different and unique. Some things that break down may be overlooked.
• Denise (10/5): Fabulous - Stunning views. Christian was a great host and gave us amazing recommendations. Steep stairs up to the apartment may not be suitable for all.
• Lydia (8/5): Loved the views, location and the town. Very helpful host. A work out to climb up the steep stairs - Nice kitchen available for use. Provided coffee, tea, sugar, an electric kettle, toaster and microwave oven. Parking was challenging. Would recommend adding a handrail on the very steep exterior stairway.
• Muir (9/5): Superb -
• Nicole (10/5): Fantastic - Christian and MG were the most fantastic hosts! Thank you we will be back! Appreciated all the tips and bookings made for us- nothing too much trouble! We will be back with the girls! Nicole and Pete
• Krissie (10/5): Our host MG was fantastic. He helped us when our train to Varenna was cancelled, he booked dinner for us in Varennas bes - The Villa was just perfect in every way. Clean, a good size and great location.
• Darin (10/5): Amazing! 10/10+++ - The property was perfect. So clean and amazing views. Christian and MG were fantastic and helped with directions, ordering a cab, getting dinner reservations, etc. This is one the best experiences I’ve ever had traveling.
• Jamie (10/5): Varenna & Lake Como is beautiful, Villa Monti was great. - Location amazing - up a slight hill with beautiful view of the lake.
• Cindy (10/5): Lovely! - Verenna is magical! Christian, our host was more than accommodating! I loved how he shared his favorite restaurants, bars, and activities on Verenna and nearby areas. We had a one room apartment with a full kitchen and pull out bed, which was surprisingly very comfortable!
• Vlad (10/5): Exceptional -
• Diane (10/5): Quiet, relaxing, friendly staff, beautiful views, would stay again. - We loved the view and location of the villa, and we really enjoyed the people who worked there. No complaints. It’s as pictured, we’d go again.
• Tony (7/5): Good - Nice view. Good place and easy connection to other cities on the lake
• Anthea (10/5): Superb -
• Gurkin (10/5): Excellent place, 5-star experience - The location was excellent as it was approximately a 5-10 minute walk to all the amenities such as bakeries, cafes and restaurants, but was also quiet and peaceful when we wanted to relax by the pool. There was a stunning view of the lake from the apartment as well. The host, MG, was so pleasant and helpful. He made us feel so welcome and was so easy to contact if we had any questions. We could not fault his hospitality. Lastly, the room was clean and nicely decorated with cool artwork. We had everything we would need for a short break. We certainly enjoyed our stay at Villa Monti and hope to return one day! Nothing.
• Flora (10/5): The Villa is more beautiful in real life! The views are breathtaking and our host MG was extremely helpful and informati - Location, location, location! Leaving the property, we could have stayed longer.
• Trudy (10/5): beautiful location and perfect accommodation - Christian was the best 👍 nothing
• Zoe (10/5): Perfect stay with probably the best views ever from a stay - The property is beautiful with everything that is needed. The views are absolutely stunning and situated in a beautiful location. Christian and MG are perfect hosts and nothing is too much trouble, gave out some great advice and choices for food which was really helpful. Thank you for our perfect stay Nothing
• Danielle (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful views of the lake! Walking distance from the town centre, well maintained and clean Villa. Staff more than willing to help you.
• Lauren (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lauren (10/5): Absolutely AMAZING!!! - Christian just made our entire Trip. We came out for our wedding and wow what a host. The best villa we have ever stayed in - ITS STUNNING! All the rooms are amazing!! The views are insane!! The pool area is massive. It’s just amazing and we will be returning every YEAR! Can’t thank you enough for our amazing wedding stay! Absolutely nothing! My only thing I would say is the pictures on here don’t do it justice and I would update the pictures and social media. Because it should be down as top place to stay in varenna!
• Peters (10/5): The best we have ever had. - The service from Christian was incredible . He gave us the most amazing and helpful recommendations which really impacted our trip in a positive way. The location was so close to town and the most amazing views. The room was clean, spacious and we loved utilising the kitchen facilities and cooking a few of the nights. Having the pool made it even better we loved our afternoon swims and drinks by the pool. We had the most special experience at Villa Monte and was one of the best places we have ever stayed. The view, the pool, the location to town, the service and recommendations provided by Christian.
• Chow (6/5): Location and nice villa, but not the unit in the Attic - MG the host coordinating did a great job. Appreciate his helpfulness. Location is great, its on higher ground, and away from the crowds. Beautiful view of Lake Como from the room and the villa. Nice Pool to laze and relax , even though the pool water was cold. The villa seems newly renovated, all features in room are rather new and clean. This is a villa with a couple of rooms rented out. we booked a 2 bedroom unit, and it was located in the attic. Though feature in room is nice and beautiful, the ceiling height is really not acceptable, even for asian height. A high risk of injury with the huge beam cutting across the bed, and in the hall. We did not feel comfortable with those huge beam crossing in the hall and room. The wifi needs to be improve for better connectivity and speed.
• Kirsten (10/5): Brilliant - Villa Monti was outstanding. MG was an amazing host, and all his recommendations were elite. The building and room itself was amazing. Nothing was too much of a problem for MG. Thanks for looking after us in Varenna.
• Richard (10/5): We felt so at home and well looked after. A beautiful way to experience Varenna. The host MG was fabulous - This property is an authentic well kept villa which is well managed , warm and welcoming.
• Carol (10/5): Wonderful and amazing stay! - Everything! The apartment was beautiful and the perfect accommodate us. The terrace was amazing and I was so sad to leave. Christian took very good care of us as well and arrange for taxis from the train station proactively!
• Derek (9/5): Superb - Excellent and clean rooms with a view! Lots of stairs to walk up/down, but MG and Christian do helpfully help you take your bulky luggage up/down the stairs. Larger taxi will not take you to the villa directly due to narrow road.
• Jackson (10/5): Best part of our trip!! - Property is beautiful with an amazing location. Our apartment had the best views! Christian and MG were the most gracious and helpful hosts. Easy to get around with close vicinity to the ferry and train station. Having the pool was great when we wanted to relax after a long day of walking. Great restaurants and cafes within walking distance. MG provides us with a lot of recommendations as well. Cannot recommend Villa Monti enough!! We liked everything.
• Sarah (10/5): We would return without hesitation - it was a superb location in a divine village with so much on offer. - Loved the location, the views, the gardens and the cleanliness but most importantly the staff- Christian and MG. They enhanced our stay incredibly. The sofa bed was ok and created space for the day time but they are never as comfortable as a real bed.
• Karen (10/5): Lovely apartment. Will be back! - Great location and lovely apartment. Christian the manager was very helpful.
