Great Italian town in beautiful Lake Como

OUR THOUGHTS!

Kind, helpful owner. Free parking can be arranged a little farther up the hill. Walk down to Varenna (ferries, etc) is steep and very slippery where wet. Impossible for us to climb back up. Each return trip by taxi cost $12 to $30 Euro. $$$ If your budget allows, stay down in town.

Charming hotel in the Varenna hills

Il Portichetto was a lovely place and Rita a charming host. We very much enjoyed our stay and the hotel is very close to the castle and walking trails to Ballano and Fumielatte. Pool was a welcome relief after a hot day walking. Breakfast okay. Walk up from town a brisk 15 minutes.

Rita and all the staff made our stay special. The accommodation is quite high up in the hills and it is a tricky walk down to Varenna, about 15-20 minutes. Rita and Kirsty organised taxis for us but we did have to reserve them in advance. The hotel is great and we had everything we needed.

The room was comfy, shower and bathroom were clean and updated, the room stayed cool with the AC. Rita really cared about her guests and was always willing to help. It is far from the city center, so plan to use a taxi since it can be a steep climb.

My wife and I just finished our stay at Hotel Il Portichetto - a hidden gem in Lake Como, located just above Varenna in Vezio. We were very happy with our stay here! Rita is an amazing host, as well as her sweet and friendly dog that you’ll see around the property! Rita got in touch with us before our stay and arranged for a car to pick us up from the train station, as the hotel is a bit of a hike up the mountain and we would not have been able to do that with our bags. She was also very responsive when we would message her via WhatsApp with any questions we had before arriving. Rita and the staff were very kind, welcoming, and friendly. In addition, our room was very comfortable and clean, and it was a big and spacious room, too! It was also right by the pool and hot tub. Another thing we loved was having a washing machine and a clothes drying rack - very convenient! We enjoyed a nice dinner at the restaurant beside the hotel our first night, and a yummy breakfast the next morning. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an affordable stay, with clean and comfortable rooms, a wonderful staff, and in a peaceful and relaxing spot! Just be aware that this hotel is not actually in the town of Varenna - as mentioned above, it’s a bit of a hike up and down - maybe 15-20 minutes, and there is an incline. However, Rita provides a list of numbers for different taxis, so if you’d rather not hike up and down, it’s less than a 10 minute taxi ride, for about

The most homely accomadation I have ever stayed in. Rita is an amazing host, she was so helpful and friendly throughout. She makes the best croissants I have ever had in my life for breakfast (and I've travelled to France several times so thats saying something). If you are disabled or have small children with pushchairs this is not the place for you as there is a lot of hiking involved getting around the immediate area. It is 150m above lake level, so a daily climb back up from Varenna is effort in the heat of summer. This is why however the views from my apartment room were breathtaking. The room was spacious, cleaned every day and contained everything you would have in our own house at home (washing machine, detergent, ironing board and iron, airer etc) they have literally thought of everything. It is so rustic and couldnt be more italian. I loved it ❤

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Il Portichetto. The room had all the conveniences and was very clean. The pool was refreshing and a charming area to relax. Rita and the staff are very friendly and helpful and helped us with maps and ferry schedules and helped to arrange cabs. The breakfast is amazing and we had dinner at the restaurant twice and the food and service were excellent. My only regret is that we only stayed two nights. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Lake Como!

Rita the owner was very accommodating. She maintained contact with us before and during our travel from Milan to Varenna - Esino train station, and she actually provided our transportation to the hotel when we arrived. Rita is very hands-on and was available from early morning through late evening for guests. The other woman - I am so sorry to say I missed the name of the woman who spoke English and helped with translation as needed and was in charge of cleaning our room was just as helpful and professional as Rita. They make a great team and made us feel welcome and at home each day. Rita also was able to arrange taxis for us a few times so our reservations of these rides was expedited. The only challenge for us was that the walk both down to Varenna and the return was challenging on a relatively steep, curvy, cobblestone path unless one was prepared with good walking shoes with non-slip soles. It is important that guests understand they will need to either make the trek one or both ways or be prepared to secure a taxi or other transportation. The on-site breakfast was very good, and the restaurant food represented local cuisine well and was cooked perfectly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Il Portichetto.
