Hotel Olivedo

This family run hotel and adjoining restaurant were a delightful and warm highlight of my Italian vacation. The location right on the lake provides guests with a fantastic view and an opportunity to observe the ferry arriving and departing, or to jump over to another town on the lake. Most of Varenna is quite steep but there are easier walking routes from this hotel where guests can access the main square. The service was amazing. Everyone, but mostly the proprietress, went out of their way to assist in any way possible. Breakfast was quite tasty but it did not compare with the incredible lunch on my second day, seated outside to enjoy the fresh air and watch the ferry. It was one of the best meals I enjoyed during my trip.

Room was ready even though we showed up quite early. Very welcoming. Seemed to know what we needed before we did. Great breakfast. Nice attached restaurant for lunch or just snack and coffee. Restaurant next door for dinner (or many options close by down the lakeside walk). Get a room with a view of the lake and you won’t be disappointed. Nice balcony to stand a watch the lake, boats & crowd down below. HIGHLY recommend.

This started with the warm family welcome that extended through the entire stay. The room had the best view across the lake, yes Varenna was very busy but this hotel is a great sanctuary to explore the surrounding area from. Whilst it is not a modern newly built hotel, you really get a feel for the character of the place. A very good breakfast was provided and they reserve the area for hotel quests only. Don’t be afraid to book direct, they were very easy to deal with and I was very comfortable in the communications that I received. My wife and I would not hesitate to stay here again.

My wife and I spent 3 days in Varenna. The hotel is the most convenient because of the very close proximity to the train station 5 min walk and the ferry to other towns being right outside the hotel but we knew that before we arrived. We arrived early in the day and were greeted at the front desk by the owner of the hotel who couldn’t have been nicer. What a sweet lady. We had an annex room with a great balcony that was going to be ready early,she said just give me a little time,leave your bags I’ll have them brought to your room. She then came and got us, walked us to our room. Room and view of the lake were amazing. Great little breakfast every morning. It was pouring rain the day we were leaving, the hotel arranged a taxi for us the night before to take us back to the train station so we didn’t get soaked walking back. The owner and all the people who work there who we came in contact with were A+++++. I would definitely recommend this hotel and stay there again in the future.

The location of this hotel is excellent, within walking distance from both the train station and the pier. Moreover, the service at this hotel is outstanding. The breakfast is also very generous, and I highly recommend this hotel. 这家酒店的位置非常好，无论是从火车站还是到码头，都是步行的距离。更值得一提的是这家酒店的服务非常好。 早餐也是非常丰富，非常推荐这家酒店。

Fabulous location with great staff and large comfortable room! (With a view) loved our stay here. Nothing was too much trouble. We were going on a day trip and had to leave early and they done us a take away breakfast bag each which was fab and a coffee tk take out.
