description: "The Royal Victoria occupies a converted nineteenth-century villa on the Varenna waterfront, with a garden terrace that runs down to the lake's edge. The rooms are traditional in style, but the lake-view rooms with balconies are lovely, and the location is unbeatable: steps from the ferry dock, the promenade, and the village's best restaurants."

The Royal Victoria occupies a converted nineteenth-century villa on the Varenna waterfront, with a garden terrace that runs down to the lake's edge. The rooms are traditional in style, but the lake-view rooms with balconies are lovely, and the location is unbeatable: steps from the ferry dock, the promenade, and the village's best restaurants.

Varenna's slower pace is the draw here. In the evenings, when the day-trippers have left and the promenade belongs to residents and hotel guests, it is among the most peaceful spots on the lake.

Rates start around EUR 180. Not luxurious by grand-hotel standards, but the setting and the warmth of the service make it a favourite among returning visitors.
