4-room B&B steps from Lake Como with a rooftop terrace and personalized breakfast service
Location & Lake Views
Set 100 metres from Villa Monastero and a few steps from the shores of Lake Como, Michelangelo B&B sits in the main square of Varenna. The rooftop terrace offers 360-degree panoramas of the lake, mountains, and the town-guests describe this view as the best in Varenna. The property is an 8-minute walk from the ferry and a 12-minute walk from the train station, with the owner available to pick up and drop off guests at the station.
Rooms & Amenities
The B&B contains four rooms, each equipped with a flat-screen TV, kettle, free toiletries, and a hairdryer. Every room has soundproofing, key card access, and a private bathroom with either a balcony or lake-view window. Common areas include a sun terrace, shared lounge/TV area, and outdoor furniture.
Breakfast & Dining
A daily breakfast buffet is included, featuring fresh croissants, focaccia, tarts, seasonal fruit, and made-to-order omelettes prepared by the owner Michelangelo. Breakfast uses locally sourced meats from a butcher shop and breads from a local bakery. Guests can take leftover pastries and fruit as a 'doggy bag' for the day.
Host Services & Local Knowledge
Owner Michelangelo (Miki) personally meets guests at the train station, helps with heavy luggage, and provides a detailed orientation of the town and ferry schedules. He makes dinner reservations at local restaurants and offers custom itineraries for hikes, the Varenna Castle, and the Greenway walking trail. The host is reachable by text throughout the stay and is known for arranging airport transfers from Linate Airport.
Rooftop Terrace & Relaxation
The rooftop terrace is the only such space in Varenna and gives guests a private vantage point to watch sunsets over the lake. Furniture includes comfortable seating ideal for reading, napping, or enjoying carryout wine and pizza in the evening. The terrace is accessible at all hours and includes a dining area used for breakfast.
