Summer Reviewed On: 29.09.2024 The location and view were great. *please add a mirror and a working hair dryer

Amanda Reviewed On: 27.08.2023 The apartment is in a great location and suited our needs perfectly. More than big enough for 4 adults, the photos don’t do it justice. It is fabulous, walking distance to everything. Loved Varenna, our favourite accom & place so far. Four Aussies from Melbourne

Gwen Reviewed On: 06.05.2019 We stayed at a lake Como holiday rental in Varenna for two weeks and had a fantastic time even though it was a cool May. I have to mention that the staff, especially our concierge Elisa, were outstanding in responding to us and answering our questions. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good rental experience. We stayed at a posting we found on VRBO and it was exactly as stated except the views were much more spectacular than the ones in the listing photos. Varenna is a fun base to use as many ferries can be caught here and of course it has the scenic walkway along the lake extending the length of the town and a multitude of good cafés and restaurants. +2 little grocery stores with all you need to get by with very helpful owners. The train is very handy and we used it multiple times. There is also a taxi service run by Rita and her sister and they could not have been better! If you stay for a long stint like we did it is easy to take the train to Lecco and Colico at the northern and southern extremes of Lake Como. Plus locally you have Menaggio and Bellaggio to visit and we also took the ferry down to Como. If you take the ferry to Menaggio you can then take the one hour bus over the hill to Lugano Switzerland which is a fantastic day trip visit. It was a long trip but we did a day trip to St Moritz Switzerland up through the Alps and talk about a spectacular train ride!!! You take the train north to Toronto and then change trains right next-door on the Bernie’s express up and over. The wonderful employee at the Varenna train station was more than helpful in setting this up. Long day but so worth it.

Dudley Reviewed On: 13.09.2018 We had stayed in Varenna before and were very pleased with the location and apartment. Your pictures on VRBO do not really show what nice views you get from both sides of the apartment though…access to the keybox and apartment was easy…your team was always responsive to my emails…we enjoyed the dinner at Albergo Milano, as always…the owner always makes you feel like a welcome guest…the things which I think need some attention: soap/shampoo…it is hard to travel with liquids, so would be great if provided…the outdoor common deck had broken furniture and what-not…could use a sturdy table and chairs…great view from there..the metal interior stairway in the apartment makes loud noise as you use it…not sure it can be fixed, but it does wake people up when using…otherwise, the apartment was clean and spacious…we would recommend it to our friends and would rent it again. thanks

Wanda Reviewed On: 11.05.2018 May 2018 The apartment was as advertised and would be comfortable for four people. There was a comfortable seating area as well as a well equipped kitchen. The view of Lake Como from the balcony was wonderful and made for a nice place for two people to enjoy a glass of wine. It was conveniently located to the promenade area, restaurants, ferry, and center of town. Our suggestions include making the lock box more user friendly, provide washcloths, dishwashing soap, shelves in the bathroom, and a full length mirror. The directions for finding the apartment were not clear because the sign for the post office is missing. We would definitely like to return to Varenna and would definitely consider staying in this apartment upon our return. Wanda, USA

David Reviewed On: 19.09.2017 September 2017 This a spacious apartment in a great location. Ageing travellers should know it's on the second floor with stairs to climb. It was sunny and light with great views of the lake. Varenna is really lovely and we had a truly great few days on the lake.” David, UK

Stefanie Reviewed On: 31.08.2016 August 2016 Thank you for your email. First of all, the property was beautiful, clean, cozy, spacious, and conveniently located. We really appreciated the quick responses to all of our inquiries. As far as activities we enjoyed - we rented a boat from a company in Varenna. It was a lot of fun and would highly recommend it. We also enjoyed the hike up to the castle and over to the waterfalls. Stefanie, USA

Elaine Reviewed On: 02.09.2016 September 2016 Hi there! We had a GREAT time. Thanks! The home was lovely, the location couldn't be better, and the price was very reasonable. The directions were clear, although adding in directions from the train station would be great, too. And providing the wireless password would be helpful as well. Elaine, UK
