I couldn't get enough of the stunning views from my room overlooking the terraces below, capturing the magic of Lake Como even during a midnight storm. The room was roomy and comfortable, but the balcony could have been a bit bigger. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff always anticipating my needs. The location was perfect for enjoying a drink while watching the sunset and exploring the quiet beauty of the area. The dining experience with incredible views was a highlight, although the homemade jams were a bit of a letdown. Overall, a beautiful stay with great amenities, but a few tiny drawbacks.

I absolutely loved my stay at Hotel Du Lac! The location was just perfect, right on Lake Como with stunning views, and it's a short walk to the harbour and the church square. The rooms, especially the supreme lake view room with terrace, were amazing, clean, and comfortable. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff always ready to assist. The dining experience on the outdoor terrace with fantastic views was fantastic, even though there could be some improvement in the variety of dishes. Overall, a great value for a memorable experience in Varenna.

My room overlooked the lake, offering a peaceful view, but it was a bit noisy due to the footpath nearby. The small balcony was perfect to enjoy the sun and the scenery of Lake Como. The hotel's service was top-notch, anticipating all our needs and providing a warm welcome every day. The location was extraordinary, right on Lake Como, making it easy to explore the area. The dining experience was good overall, but with more American influence than Italian. The facilities were well-kept and convenient.

The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to assist with local information and tours. The hotel's location in Varenna was priceless, offering easy access to the ferry and charming attractions.

I had an amazing stay at the hotel. The room on the 3rd floor was a bit of a hassle with the luggage, but the stunning lake and mountain views made it all worth it. However, the room didn't have the lake view I had requested and paid for. The service was exceptional, especially when I had trouble with my luggage lock. The location was perfect, right on Lake Como and close to the center. The dining experience with a breathtaking lake view was superb, with homemade cappuccinos being a highlight. Overall, a great value for the money.

The hotel has a beautiful view from the rooms, which are spacious and receive direct afternoon sun - just remember to close the drapes before heading out. The service, especially from the hotel manager, was very helpful and friendly. The location is excellent, offering easy access to shopping, restaurants, and the ferry terminal. The dining experience provides tasty treats with a calm view over the lake, although some find it too American. Overall, a magnificent stay at a small family-run hotel.
