This is a beautiful property on a beautiful setting with friendly staff and clean rooms. The bar staff outside were especially friendly. It’s a real gem and a great value. If I could make one small recommendation it would be to have drink and maybe even food service at the pool We had a great couple nights and days here

It was certainly a beautiful hotel. It needs to be renovated. I was told that this winter they are closing down for a massive renovation project adding a lift and bringing the hotel up to par. The staff were excellent. The pool was divine, as was the general out door area and the bar was elegant but fun. Looking forwards to trying the renovated version. If travelling to see lake Como, it is a fair distance and generally a car is needed.

We stayed at Palace Grand Hotel Varese for one night and had a wonderful experience. The highlight of our stay was the incredible service from the staff. Everyone was friendly, professional, and genuinely committed to making our stay enjoyable. The room was spacious and comfortable, the massage treatment was excellent, and the pool area was a great place to relax. The hotel has a charming old-school elegance that creates a unique atmosphere, and the views from the property are simply amazing. Breakfast was very good, with a nice selection and quality offerings to start the day. What impressed us most was the excellent value for money. Considering the quality of the accommodations, facilities, service, and overall experience, the hotel exceeded our expectations. We would happily return and highly recommend Palace Grand Hotel Varese to anyone visiting the area.

What starts badly ends badly. The reception staff were quite rude, and the duty manager, Carolina, is unpleasant. My experience at the hotel was awful; I didn't feel comfortable from the first moment until the very end. The most tragic thing is that on my last day, the toilet wasn't working. A bathrobe would have been appreciated. The quality-to-service ratio is quite mediocre. The best things about the hotel are the outdoor areas, the pool, and the breakfast!
