Great little hotel. Rita and the staff went the extra mile for us, picking us up from the station and organising transport back to the hotel in the evening. Everything you need is in the room. The location is up near the castle which has great views.

Nydelig plass i vakre omgivelser.

Great staff!! The place has a very Italian feel. Varenna is beautiful and room was amazing. Super accommodating and helpful with helping us plan our trip. Food was amazing and breakfast had many options. Both prepared by Rita who is so sweet. Loved having a laundry machine and wine in the room. So cool.
It was a long uphill hike from the ferry station. And be sure to check the road/train conditions before traveling.

Friendly staff was the main thing. Rita, as host makes sure you are cared for and goes the extra mile to make sure your stay is fulfilling both in the hotel and while out and about. Kirsty is one of her main members of staff who is English and living in Italy and helps, where extra explanation in English is required.
Nothing as everything was fine. There is a hill to climb from the main town. It is a steep cobbled path climbing over 400 feet. My wife and I are in our 60's and could do it in 15 minutes, but we are fit. However, there is a free night bus up between 21:00 - 23:00, and Rita, the host will always arrange a taxi which costs around €12.

Our stay in Il Portichetto was perfect. The apartment and facilities were amazing. The hotel owners Rita and Kristy were super friendly, helpful and accommodating throughout our entire stay. Highlights include: the breakfast spread, the neighbouring restaurant and the picture-perfect views from our apartment balcony. We'll definitely be back!
5.0 / 5.0
The owner Rita was extremely hospitable and helpful. There was good communication before we arrived and she picked us up upon arrival, which was great as the hotel was up the hill. Our room had a garden view and it was extremely well set up and very comfortable (great air conditioning!). It was clean and had everything we needed. What we loved most was the pool and the garden. In the summer heat, it was just a dream to relax and swim under the beautiful olive trees and kiwi trees. Breakfast was amazing and we had dinner every night at the hotel’s little terrace restaurant. Rita’s homemade Italian food was delicious and reasonably priced. We also loved the hotel dog Pippo, who was super cute and friendly. It was a very enjoyable experience to stay in this very relaxing and peaceful hotel. We would love to be back!
The hotel is up a hill and you have to walk down a steep pebble path down to the town/Varrena (about 10 - 15 minutes). Walking back up can be challenging for some people especially in the summer heat (the path is mostly in the shade though). You can use Uber /taxi and it costs around 12-15 euros each way. This extra cost is very worth it in our opinion.

Rita, Kirsty and Carlo (hope we have spelling right)were exceptional hosts! We had a problem with our hire car and Carlo, very kindly, picked us up from the train station at 730pm, with Rita cooking us the most luscious home cooked Italian food on the 1st night - we ate with Rita twice more - it was wonderful food - this was in her own home restaurant - not Il portichetto restaurant which is run by Rita’s daughter. The apartment was kept exceptionally clean all week - thank you Kirsty! We really could not have asked for kinder hosts who made us feel so welcome! The apartment was superb - fully air conditioned and all manner of little extras, from beautiful toiletries from a local olive oil producer to wine and water when we arrived. Breakfast was lovely - we were able to take breakfast back to our youngest teen who struggled to get up before 10am! As for the walk down and up to Varenna - we loved it! If 80-year old Italians can do it, we made sure we embraced it!! You could not want for a better location - high up, tranquil but 15 minutes walk to the beautiful and well-connected Varenna. We could not have loved it more!!
We only stayed 6 nights - we could have strayed a lot longer!

Lovely rooms located at the pool, quiet location but still close to town and castle. Nice bar and restaurant, very clean, great amenities and lovely extra touches in the room.

We had an excellent stay, the room was spacious and very clean, the bed and pillows were just our liking. We stayed for five nights and took advantage of the pool area multiple times, most of which we had it to ourselves. The breakfast buffet had everything we needed and as a cherry on top, Rita & co were magnificent hosts! We got a ride up when we first arrived and a bottle of red wine, both were super nice surprises. Grazie!
The room walls were a bit thin, so you could easily hear if someone was talking next door at night. The location without a car required some hiking, but we took it as a positive challenge.
4.0 / 5.0
Staff was lovely. Very friendly and welcoming. Nice breakfast and rooms. Liked the touch of having washing machines in the room.
Very difficult to find, and only accessible on foot after you've gone up a mountain with your car. The check-in instructions should be more explicit as it's very difficult to find this place, and there should be some disclosure on the property listing about how it is inaccessible without a car (other than climbing up a rocky steep path for 15m), and how even if you have a car, it's a 5 min walk with stairs to reach the property, and a difficult walk. Pool was very cold and hottub wasn't sufficiently warmed up and turned off after 930 pm, so neither of these were very useable.
5.0 / 5.0
The entire stay was lovely. Loads of options for breakfast from croissants, cereal, variety of juices, coffee, milk, cheese etc. spoilt for choice! The room was comfortable and very clean. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and maintained so well. Especially in the sunshine, it's a beautiful location surrounded by nature. The hosts were absolutely fantastic and even went out of his way to collect us with our toddler from town when we were unable to get a taxi back up to the hotel and just in time before the halestone thunderstorm! we would have been stranded, struggling to walk up the cobbled hill with a pram and toddler if it wasn't for Carlo and he wouldn't even accept money! The service was outstanding and we will definitely plan a longer stay next time. thank you Rita and Carlo for you hospitality.
The property is fantastic and only a 10 minute walk down to the center of Varenna. The only downside is when travelling with a pram/buggy this walk is extremely difficult but that also goes for the whole of Varenna. The paths are all cobbled pebbles and steps so not very pram friendly. However if we travelled without child then there would have been no complaints.

Beautiful location above Varenna with an amazing view of the lake! Very peaceful. Rita and the hotel staff were all wonderful as well and made us feel welcome. The rooms were clean and the food absolutely delicious, we already miss it!! Also thank you for arranging pickup from Varenna to the hotel when we first arrived + arranging taxi for departure. Grazie!

Very clean apartment. Comfortable bed and lovely pillows etc. Lovely balcony with lake view. Helpful info given from owners e.g. route into Varenna. Kindly picked us up from the station when there weren’t any taxis.

Great customer service, very helpfull reception - we got a lift from the train station and back to the hotel as there was no taxis(all sometimes very busy). Hotel has a nice restaurant with polite and kind staff. The most we liked the jacuzzi after a long day out - very relaxing!

great property, clean and great amenities, pool and jacuzzi were nice added bonus
need transportation up to the property unless a 20 minute walk uphill is okay with you, otherwise nothing bad to say here it was lovely

Beautiful location, though a bit remote and challenging to get to. We had a comfortable and spacious 2 bedroom apartment with ample space for the 5 of us. The castle was a fun and beautiful walk.
It’s a little hard to find.

The location is fantastic - calm and close to all the things to do and see around Lake Como! The owner is friendly and very helpful! The restaurant is great. We loved our stay at Il Portichetto! I definitely recommend it! The pool and jacuzzi are a great way to wind down after a day of walking and visiting.

A lovely rustic place with a very welcoming and helpful owner. This is set up the hill from Varenna and has beautiful views. We enjoyed staying here to explore our first time at Como. The accommodation is very clean spacious and everything we needed. Our beds were kindly made everyday and we really enjoyed the treats.

felt like a local
no complaints but if you don’t have a car you need to plan a taxi in advance.
1.0 / 5.0
Not a pleasant stay.
They asked us to pay the full price as soon as we got there before even giving us the rooms keys.
The jacuzzi's water was trouble.
The breakfast was a joke: dry biscuits with some jelly and dry instant coffee that you have to make and eat in your room. They provided 1 cup for a room of 3 people.
There was a power outage so we couldn't eat dinner nor had AC, they said it was the whole city but everything was fine outside. When we asked for the normal breakfast (the breakfast marked as "included" in the room's price being a joke, you can pay more for a regular breakfast) as a compensation they told us off because "the restaurant is different from the hotel" despite being the same place, same people, same clients, and that they didn't had time to do the dishes because of power outage... But it was at 9am in the next morning and power went back on in the middle of the night, they had plenty of time to clear the tables.
On a less important note, the place is hard to find as it's not properly placed on Google maps, and parking is very limited on a mountain road with no way to park elsewhere.

Our stay at Hotel Il Portichetto was amazing. Rita was so welcoming and lovely and Kirstie arranged for our room to be ready so we could check in early. Our room was right by the pool and looked exactly like the pictures. The washing machine, iron, small fridge and complimentary breakfast biscuits, along with the kettle, coffee tea milk and wine were lovely touches. The restaurant was also amazing. Especially the pizza and the pesto gnocchi. The walk down from the hotel to Varenna was no problem for us and only took about 15 mins, although the path is very rocky so suitable shoes are needed and it wouldn’t be suited to people with mobility issues. The walk back up was definitely harder and took about 25-30 mins so sometimes we got taxis back up whixh we’re about €10-15. Our stay here was 10/10. We recommend the restaurant on site, the bakery in varenna (pistachio croissants) and the beach behind the Royal Victoria hotel :)

It was comfortable and beautiful with air conditioning! The pool was clean and refreshing. The restaurant was excellent food. Everyone was so nice!
Walking up the hill while jet-lagged...lol. More English translations on signs could be good for ignorant folks like us.

We ended up in Lake Como an extra night due to a train strike. We had to find different lodging and Il Portichetto was the only thing available. We are so glad we found them! They picked us up from our other apartment, then took us to the train station the next morning. If you’ve been to Lake Como and seen the hills you’ll know this was a huge deal! The staff was wonderful, views amazing, and food delicious. It was a steep hike down to Varenna, but we’ve walked all over Italy during this trip so it was fine. We would definitely recommend staying here.
