Old Italy at it’s best.
Rita is a wonderful person. She make the absolute best apple strudel and is a fine chef. Great view of the lake. Let me tell the facts about the walking path to Varrena. It is approx. .7 tenths of a mile to the village. If you have issues with the bottom of you feet, ankles, knees or hips this is NOT a walk for you. It is close to a 30* incline. There are only 3 taxi’s for the whole area. Every time I called the were busy. Maybe Rita can call and you will have better access. The path is still medevil stone. Other than the path a great place to stay. My wife and I are very fit mid 60’s years old. You will love Rita .It is more of a 25 min. Walk instead of the quoted 10 min.

Great hotel with a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Has all the essentials. Located in a quiet hillside village and its a steep 15 min walk to Varena but fine if you are able, and taxis are available if needed (make sure to pre-book your return!)

Cozy stay on charming hilltop village
Excellent! We will be returning to this bit of heaven on Lake Como. Set away from the crowds, it was a nice respite from the touristy spots. The villa offered excellent food, room was private and comfortable, the grounds were excellent and the castle took us by surprise!

Quite hotel on the hill above Varenna
We stayed for two nights while visiting the area of Lake Como. My main reason for booking this hotel was because parking was included. When driving to this hotel, there are two public parking lots to choose from and you get a voucher from the hotel to keep in your car so you don't have to pay. There is also a great view of the lake on the road near the parking lots. The room was spacious and clean, with a slightly dated interior, but that didn't bother us. The AC worked really well but we didn't really use it during the time we were there. We ended up having dinner at the hotel on our first night and the food was very tasty and quite affordable. We had breakfast at the hotel because it was included with our booking and it was a very generous spread of food. Typical cold cuts and cheese, pastries, fruits, yogurt, etc. The main drawback to this hotel is the location. If you want to be in Varenna, then you should just book a hotel in town as this hotel is a 5-10 min drive or a 20 minute walk down a steep hill (and then you have to walk back up later). So if you will be out late in the towns around the lake, maybe stay somewhere closer to the water. But if you want a quite place to escape the hustle and bustle of the touristy towns, with parking and a really hospitable host, this is a great choice!

Exceptional service in a perfect location!!
From the moment we rolled our suitcases down the narrow cobblestone lanes of Vezia and through the door of the Hotel Il Portichetto we felt as though we were visiting a friend. Rita and the hotel staff welcomed us in like we were family and quickly set about ensuring we had everything we needed. Check in was smooth and easy and we wasted no time tucking into a delicious meal of pasta, pizza and Italian breads in the cosy restaurant surrounded by a small collection of local villagers and fellow travellers. Before we headed for our apartment Rita ran through some local tips and tricks for making the most of the local attractions while also staying on the right side of the municipal parking inspectors. Breakfast was also very good, Rita makes sure each guest is well looked after. Our apartment had everything we needed plus a stunning view over Lake Como with the snow-covered peaks of the Swiss Alps in the distance. In short, our stay was the type of holiday experience you wish for; we were a little sad to have to move on. Thank you Rita, we will be back!!

The hotel is small, rooms are simple, clean, comfortable. Hotel owner, Christine, is delightful and serves a large breakfast buffet as well as tasty meals for lunch and dinner. While the hotel is not actually in Varenna, it is a short (and very steep) hike down to Varenna (14 minutes), or there is a bus. Take a taxi from the train station (5 minute ride) if you arrive by train. Our family of three had a studio with two bedrooms, bathroom (with clothes washer), kitchenette with dining table. We had a view of Lake Como from our door, seats and table outside the door on a private patio. Nights were cool, comfortable, and quiet. Lovely place. We'd stay there again.
