Every great journey starts with a single idea. Let me turn this hotel or experience into a fully customized trip, handling everything from airfare and accommodations to tours, transportation, and travel protection, so you can travel with confidence.

The Royal Hotel Victoria pays homage to Queen Victoria of England, who graced this historic property with her presence in 1838 when it transitioned from an old filanda to a hotel. Rich in history, culture, and art, the hotel offers guests a unique opportunity to experience the charm of Lake Como.

Dine with stunning lake views from the elegant veranda or select a room with a private balcony overlooking the water. The lakeside pool, complete with a jacuzzi and two cascading waterfalls, invites guests to unwind on sunny afternoons. For those seeking rejuvenation, the hotel's modern spa provides a range of luxurious treatments.

A recent restoration, in collaboration with the Superintendence for Architectural and Landscape Heritage of Milan, has revived the elegance and magic that has characterized the hotel since the 19th century. The Royal Hotel Victoria is the perfect choice for discerning travelers looking to enjoy relaxing moments on the serene shores of Lake Como.

Featured Destinations

Varenna

Climbing up a rock at the foot of a mountain 12 mi/20 km north of Lecco on the eastern shore of Lake Como, Varenna is often called the Pearl of Lake Como.

Car ferries from Menaggio and Bellagio dock at Olivedo. From there, a scenic walkway called Passarella leads to Piazza San Giorgio, the main square. Varenna's old town is graced with colorful houses, old villas hiding behind cypresses, a picturesque fishing harbor with two pretty cafes, traffic-free alleyways, and magnificent lake views.

It does get quite busy in summer with many visitors from the U.S., Australia and Japan, so try to visit in spring, when it's most beautiful. The main church is the beautifully renovated Church San Giorgio, a basilica built around 1300 that's adorned with frescoes. Don't overlook the small chapel San Giovanni Battista on the lake side of the Piazza. It's just a short walk to Villa Cipressi, a luxury hotel, and Villa Monastero. The lush gardens of both villas can be visited. Market day in Varenna is Wednesday morning.

Next to Villa Monasterio, the Museo Civico di Ornitologia e Scienze Naturali Luigi Scanagatta presents a collection of stuffed birds, reptiles and mammals of the region (open April-September). Perched high above Varenna, the Castello di Vezio has an art exhibition, a falconry, and even dungeons, which can be visited on a guided tour. The view from the 14th-century tower is awesome (open April-September; http://www.castellodivezio.it).

Pilgrims will make their way to the Sanctuary of Lezzeno near Varenna. It was built in 1690, two years after a miracle took place in 1688, when legend says a plaster relief of the Virgin was crying tears of blood.

A short walk south of Varenna, the hamlet of Fiumelatte is famous for being the home of Italy's shortest river. The Fiumelatte (River of Milk) is a 820-ft-/250-m-long seasonal frothy torrent, which dries up in October and reappears suddenly in late March. Leonardo da Vinci in vain tried to find its source, whose exact location still hasn't been discovered, but it's fed by melted water from the Grigne.
