Authentic, rustic BB This lovely B&B has an enviable location in Varenna, our small balcony overlooked the town and at night time it felt very ‘atmospheric’ Rita, the owner, is very approachable and hospitable. She arranged for a taxi to pick us up from the nearby Varenna-Esino train station. If you wish to visit Lake Como, Bellagio etc the location is ideal. Rita can provide dinner (extra cost) and she even upon request a tagliatelle dish I specifically asked for, in fact two different versions of tagliatelle on one plate. Local red wine at a reasonable cost, always available or even large Pieroni beers if more to your taste The room was always clean, a safe provided and use of a washing machine. The property has a ‘rustic’ feel and felt very authentic in a wonderful setting.

Le meilleur hôtel du lac de côme Hotel super propre, ainsi que la piscine et le jacuzzi, la cuisine de rita est super bonne on manger la tout les soirs, rita est une superbe hôte super attentionnée ainsi que les employés et d'une gentillesse. On se sent comme chez soie, c'est chaleureux, franchement j'ai rien à dire à part merci. Cette hôtel mérite une nouvelle étoile 🌟🌟🌟🌟4 étoile elle le mérite. Merci Rita. Baci dal belgio

Wonderful hotel with beautiful views of Lake Como Our apartment was well stocked, very clean and served daily. There is a great breakfast buffet every morning and the restaurant offered homemade meals every evening. Rita, the hostess, is very helpful, friendly and treats you like family. She has a personal interest in making sure his guests enjoy themselves. She also taught me how to cook Italian risotto and then we had it for dinner. When traveling we like to immerse ourselves in society, meet the locals and that is what the Portichetto allowed us to do. it was a fantastic holiday we will not forget and Rita and Portichetto made it possible. Highly recommended.

Everything you could ask for, nothing was too much🙏🏼 Beautiful views, great location, lovely food, staff so helpful and friendly. But what sets this apartment aside is the hospitality Rita and Kirsty provide, you feel like more of a local/friend, than a tourist being passed through. We will miss Il Portichetto, and Peepo 🐶❤️

A warm welcome received! The booking for this two night stay was made by a third part so I’m unable to comment on value but the quality of the stay was superb, mainly due to the it’s staff. Rita (owner) replied to an email sent pre arrival and arranged for a taxi to meet us from the train station as we were arriving quite late and out of season. We were then met by Kirsty, part of the hotels team who booked us in. We also had arranged with Rita an evening meal on arrival. It was a local festival day and the family and friends were all enjoying a supper together, we were made to feel very welcome by all. The homemade ravioli, followed by braised beef was washed down with local red wine. We were allocated a room in one of the four around the pool, a good-sized, spotless room which is well thought out with all the little extras that you might need. (Iron, umbrellas/fridge with bottled water, welcome bottle of wine/tea + coffee and in the decent size bathroom even a washing machine, detergent provided) There is a collective poolside patio outside the room for the four poolside rooms, which is well positioned with olive trees and catches the afternoon sun. Being out of season and not many places open we very grateful to Rita in providing us an ample breakfast at no extra charge both mornings. Accessing the lakeside and main town area, there is a footpath that drops 800m+ into the centre, trainers/boots recommended, it took 15 minutes descending + 25 to walk back up. The view is superb out over the lake. We caught a local ferry (9€ pp) across to Menaggio (15minute crossing) which have stunning views out over the lake. Again due to most places being shut we opted for Rita’s homemade cooking on the second night, again it was delicious. A huge thank you to Rita and her team/family for making us feel so welcome, we throughly enjoyed our stay with you.

Lugnt och mysigt Bodde 3 nätter i en av lägenheterna som innehöll 2 sovrum kök och allrum och badrum. Det var lite svårt att finna hotellet med hjälp av bilens GPS. Hotellet är högtbeläget och man når dit genom en smal snirklande serpentinväg. Det går inte att köra ända fram till hotellet utan man får gå cirka 150 m på en smal gata utan trafik. Parkering finns i närheten och är gratis. Mottagandet och incheckningen var varmt och hjärtligt. Rita visade oss allt vi behövde veta om boendet. Lägenheten var fräsch och välstädad. Allt nödvändigt fanns, till och med tvättmaskin. Till lägenheten fanns en balkong med en helt otrolig utsikt över Comosjön. Att få äta frukost med denna utsikt var helt fantastiskt. Invid receptionen ligger en restaurang med samma namn och som drivs av hotelägarens dotter. Där åt vi fantastiska middagar. Hemlagad genuinsk mat. I omgivningarna finns många vandringsleder men också mång små städer att besöka. Sammanfattningsvis vill jag varmt rekommendera hotellet med närliggande restaurang. Tack för en lugn och avsressande vistelse. Hoppas vi kommer ses igen.

Appartamento con tutto! Consigliamo questo appartamento per: - la vista dal giardino terrazza - la tranquillità - tutti gli elettrodomestici (lavastoviglie, lavatrice, frigo, freezer, forno a microonde, condizionatore ...) - gentilezza e simpatia della proprietaria - disponibilità nel servizio - possibilità di utilizzo di piscina e Jacuzzi

Welcome oasis Our only regret is that we only stayed here for one night. Our room was next to the pool - it was a large room with so many amenities - laundry in the room, great wine, snacks. The owner of the hotel was so lovely. The drive up to the hotel, while a bit of a challenge the first time, also contributed to the specialness of the location. We drove down to Varenna for dinner, although you can also walk. I cannot recommend this hotel enough - the service, the location in a small tiny neighborhood high above the lake with amazing views, makes it a memory, rather than just another hotel.

Fantastic location and welcome This hotel with self catering accommodation was absolutely perfect for our eight day stay to tour the area . The accommodation was immaculate and had every detail supplied. Daily housekeeping had such attention to detail and very friendly. The pool and jacuzzi were immaculate and great sun loungers . Rita and her staff gave us the best Italian welcome and it was a perfect place to return after visiting the surrounding area . Lovely walks and hikes nearby . We stayed with teenagers and they absolutely loved Vezio and our accommodation. We would love to return some day .The restaurant attached to the property is fantastic and great staff and food . The best we had in the area plus lovely ice creams!
