On one of Italy’s most famous lakes, Hotel Royal Victoria has been charming guests for years. Come for the dreamy setting, the divine restaurants, the secret gardens and the peaceful pool.
Hugging the spellbinding shores of Lake Como, this 19th century hotel, once an 1800s spinning mill, captures the enduring charm of yesteryear. Set in the medieval village of Varenna, it’s here you’ll wake up to church bells ringing, sip espresso after breakfast and return for golden hour views of lake and mountains from Visteria Restaurant’s outdoor terrace. A big highlight is the outdoor lake-facing pool, a tranquil spot for an early morning dip or late swim after exploring castles and villas or sailing across the lake. The hotel’s 43 rooms range from pocket-size and simple to spacious Junior Suites, a few with balconies and lake views. Other perks include a bookable in advance wellness suite with a sauna, steam room and sensory showers and access to neighbouring Villa Cipressi’s botanical gardens.
