Royal Victoria Hotel

Sitting on Varenna’s main square, the Royal Victoria is the only hotel in town with a swimming pool. Wander into the gorgeous botanical gardens of Villa Cipressi next door, then soak up the lake views with a drink in hand from the lake-facing terrace – a delight in spring when the wisteria is in bloom
