Find hotels near Sentiero del Viandante, Bellano

"Staff were very nice and helpful. Room was clean and modern. The hotel is about 10mins walk from the train station. It is manageable as there is no bus or taxi in the area. I would highly recommend this place. Small family hotel but very nice and very clean. "

"We had 2 nights there, so we really enjoyed staying in this apartment. Wonderful views of the lake, quiet, far from all the busy tourist area. Swimming pool was very enjoyable. Spacious kitchen /dining/living area next to the large patio. Communication with the rental agency was great and the directions and self check-in were great. The minuses: my husband found the carpets and bedrooms had a musty odor, possibly because the area might be humid (and he has a very sensitive nose). A car is necessary, unless you like climbing the road for 30 minutes or so. Parking is very large there, not a problem. A good tip when you visit Varenna with a car. Parking on this side of Varenna is very challenging, unless you are early in the day. Crossing downtown toward the south is not possible (it is a one way) and Google map did not know that. Instead, drive north toward Bellano, and take « via Della Foppa », which is a tunnel which will bring you on the other side of Varenna where you can find large parking structures. "

"Beautiful spot, but difficult to access without a rental car. We were travelling on foot/train/bus and we had to rely solely on the 2 or 3 taxis in the township. The walk was ok downhill, but very arduous going back (We're in our 70's). We chose Varenna as it much more affordable than Ballagio, and the views are simply breathtaking. With a car, this would have been perfect, but we also found that the locals were very accommodating and actually took us home in their own vehicles a few times...that's why we love Italy! The room itself was adequate, but the hosts were very skimpy with allocating one dishwasher pellet, one washing machine tablet and 2 small rolls of toilet paper for a couple staying 4 nights. When we requested more, they begrudgingly dropped off one more of each at the door. The instructions to the apartment were clear up to the point of reaching the carpark, but then even with a local resident's help it took us 30 minutes to locate the key box. All-in-all, a nice stay but the view and clean night air, and the lovely locals in Perledo made it memorable. "
