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

Marco was wonderful. He arranged transport from Milan Airport to Varenna. He assisted me with the reservation when I thought I might have to cancel. My daughter met him in person - I missed meeting him but his lovely wife Tanya introduced herself to us and made sure we had a lunch for our train to Florence

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!

My partner and I stayed at this hotel for a special occasion. The staff and the view are absolutely lovely. We had no complaints whatsoever in relation to these. However, although we paid for a very expensive suite, we did not have AC (we were told it was due to local authority rules) and the bed was squeaky. Upon arrival, we did mention the AC to the staff but we were told that could not be resolved. We were not offered any alternative solutions. Therefore, we had to leave our windows open but this meant very loud church bells and crowds from about 7 am into very late evening hours. In addition, our bed squeaked. Therefore, with the open windows and the noise, we could not have a lay in or take naps and we felt always on alert and could not fully relax. We had travelled from another country for these specific views. Therefore, we did not ask to be moved and had to choose the noise over losing the view and balcony. Furthermore, the quality of food for breakfast was not impressive with food often being soggy and cold. After our stay and before leaving this review, I did communicate these concerns with the hotel’s management. However, they did not offer a satisfactory resolution. Therefore, all in all, we spent over 2500 euros for a suite and a 4-star stay (our entire trip cost in excess of 4000 euros) that was not fully relaxing. I have never seen a 4-star hotel without an AC before.
