Villa Monastero really leaves a lasting impression. This grand, old building is a must-visit for traveling history lovers.

This historic landmark is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Varenna. But Villa Monastero isn't the area's only highlight. Villa del Balbianello, Villa Carlotta, and Villa Melzi are some other worthwhile attractions close by.

8.4/10 Very Good! (396 reviews)

The hotel grounds and spa were beautiful However, the room: decor, comfort and usability let’s down the hotel and thus the experience The WiFi in the room was patchy and the tv only had Italian speaking programs and no option for subtitles in a chosen language. This coupled with the poor WiFi meant that on the 3 rainy days of our trip you are limited for things to do sadly
