We will be in Varenna for 5 days in the first week of September (2025). We have not been there before. We are husband and wife without any children on the trip. We would appreciate any suggestions for the best hotel to stay. We like good views and clean hotels. Thank you.

I stayed in Hotel Royal Victoria on a Rick Steves tour. I was there a few days ahead and splurged on a balcony room facing the lake for my non-tour days. Wow, it was wonderful. They also had a really awesome buffet breakfast....with Prosecco. When I moved to my tour room it was fine. Overlooked the piazza and church but I really missed the views and wished I'd have asked about paying up for the nicer room.

Varenna doesn't have a lot of lodging options, and September is still high season. I recommend booking something now.

If you can’t find a room in Varenna, try looking in Bellagio which is not far from Varenna. We always stay in Bellagio, lots more restaurants and hotels.
