The service was top notch here. They have convenient shuttles to and from the train station and ferry dock. They will help book dinner reservations and other taxis as needed. Free delicious breakfast and access to the gardens unless there's an event. However, our room did have significant spiders and webs so the rooms do not appear to be deep cleaned often. We spent an hour of our first night catching spiders. Not sure if it is worth the price with that in mind.

Beautiful and convenient location in the heart of Varenna. Very short walk to “Lovers Walk” which will bring you directly into the marina area. Many bars and restaurants. Gorgeous amenities including breakfast and a terrace for drinks and food. Accommodating staff. Would absolutely visit again!

A beautiful old villa with amazing gardens surrounding it. Room lovely, breakfast wonderful. Staff a bit frazzled, often would not (or could not) answer phone. Shuttle bus could not meet us at ferry with our bags for example as no one answered phone when we called. Fortunately they could take us to train next day. I think hosting a wedding and also keeping regular guests happy may have been a bridge too far. Still I would recommend it to others with these caveats as it’s a really beautiful property and once we were there everyone was very attentive and welcoming

If you are thinking about staying in Lake Como then you’ll want to stay in Varenna (Bellagio is touristy and crowded). Villa Cipressi is lovely. Absolutely wonderful hotel inside and out. The gardens are exquisite, the location is perfect, and the hotel itself is fantastic. Great rooms and facilities but even better staff. Everyone there is great and they go out of their way to assist if needed. Can’t recommend this place enough. Don’t overthink, just book it

I had the most incredible time at this hotel. Everyone went way out of their way to make our stay so special. Marco helped me get wine shipped from France to hold it until checkin and then the hotel boat was an extra bonus. The breakfast included is outstanding as well. The grounds are magnificent!! ALL of the staff are incredible and the owners should be very proud of their team. I can’t wait to come back! Until next time!
