Varese Palace will have once been a very impressive building, however is now in a bit of a state of disrepair. The hotel is up a long driveway, and you would need to drive to go anywhere from the property. However the fact it is so set back means it is quiet. The room was fine, and reasonable value particularly... More

Very stylist hotel, set high in the hills above Varese with a great view across the lake. The room was very comfortable, breakfast was excellent. Unusual display of MV Agusta and Ducati motorbikes in the reception area plus above the bar is lined with motorcycle helmets - there is obviously some connection between the owners and the bike factories. Staff... More

Very good value for good money. The hotel celebrates the 100 years anniversary this spring. It looks like a castle, staying on the hill. It would be difficult to get there without a car. From the balcony you can see an excellent view of mountains with old chapels and churches, the lake, the centenary pines. Breakfast is normal, not very... More

This is supposed to be a four star hotel, but it is not! Breakfast has orange juice out of water and colour as well as sugar. Reception staff is soo unfriendly, no international newspapers, no international TV channels. The gym is scrap and the location sucks. The hotel is not modern at all, but has prices as if it would...

Perched on the top of a very steep hill the hotel has excellent views of Varese. The hotel's name depicts exactly what it looks like and old palace. Inside the hotel is very grand however also very tired in décor and furnishings especially in reception. The rooms however are a pleasant surprise being large and the bathrooms excellent - not...

I came to Varese for business for the second time, and tried to stay at the City Hotel again (excellent hotel in the center of the town), but ended up in this hotel. It is a 100 year old hotel on a hill outside the center of the town, so it is very isolated. This is problem when looking somewhere... More

We stayed at this beautiful hotel on a tour during our honeymoon finding the spacious rooms a total sigh of relief from the tiny rooms we had become used to. The dining area and service were excellent. Perched upon a hill over looking Varese made the views stunning. We would certainly suggest this venue to anyone visiting the area.

We were in the process of moving to a nearby village and stayed here during the transition process. The staff was always friendly, and never made fun of our attempt to speak Italian. Our waiter in the evening reminded us of Humphry Bogart, and immediately we became friends. Always there to assist us with meals, ideas for the next day,... More

I stayed here 3 nights along with some colleagues from work. This hotel belongs to one of the industrialists from Varese who happens to be an ex-shareholder in Ducati. His passion for bikes is apparent from the GP bikes in the lobby as well as the array of helmets in the lobby bar. This hotel was built in 1913 and... More
