Hotel Olivedo Review
The 3-star Hotel Olivedo Varenna features a beachfront location a short distance from Normen Stern Pittore Art Gallery and welcomes guests with a golf course and a garden. Located at a 550-metre distance from San Giovanni Battista Church, this Varenna hotel has 13 rooms near a train station.
A continental breakfast is served every morning. In the onsite Olivedo restaurant, guests can have their dinner while enjoying Italian cuisine. There is a restaurant serving Lombard food around 5 minutes away by car.
The property is within a 10-minute drive of Monte Grona and within a 10-minute drive of Lido di Bellagio. The Olivedo Varenna offers proximity to such natural sights as Sorgente del Fiumelatte Park (1.8 km) and Orrido di Bellano Natural Park (3.6 km).
Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to Royal Victoria, which is about 5 minutes away by car. Guests can easily get in touch with the history of Varenna by visiting the centuries-old castle "Castello di Vezio", located a few minutes' drive from Hotel Olivedo.
The spacious rooms include an adjoining terrace and a balcony, furnished with soundproof windows, and some of them face the patio. They are outfitted with spacious decor. For more comfort, a hairdryer and towels, along with a bidet and a tub, are provided. Here you'll also find views of Lake Como.
