Where Hotel Villa Cipressi is, and why the location matters
Hotel Villa Cipressi, part of R Collection Hotels, is a 4-star, 33-room villa hotel at Via IV Novembre 18 in Varenna, on the eastern shore of Lake Como. Its neighbor is Villa Monastero, listed at about a 1-minute walk, as listed on booking platforms on October 20, 2026, so you are in the heart of the village rather than on its edge.
Several room types face the lake, and the property has a garden and a rooftop terrace. The lakeside Lover’s Walk is about 600 m (650 yards) away, and the Castello di Vezio about 1.5 km (0.9 miles) uphill. Note the season: the hotel is listed as closed from November through March.
