Great location. Easy walk to town.

The toilet seat does not fit. It was a slip and slide to use.

The property had everything we needed to be very comfortable with 2 kids and 2 adults. We made a few meals and had everything required to cook, eat and tidy up afterwards. Great instructions to access the apartment. The place was very clean. The location is excellent.

The apartment got very hot. Only 2 fans were provided so you needed to move them around depending on the room you were in. During the day we closed the outside shutters and windows to block out the sun so keep the apartment cool and had to used the lights to see and at about 7pm we opened everything up to get a cool breeze through which did cool everything down enough to sleep at night with all the windows and shutters open. In summer air con is required.

It was a nice spacious apartment in a great location, close to the trains and ferry. A man in the building noticed we were having trouble opening the door and was nice enough to help us. We even had a partial lake view and little balcony.

It was a little tricky using all the keys.

The Porto azzuro apartment is in a wonderful location. The views are stunning. The connections are great - you are right by the train station and the ferry point. I visited lots of attractions easily from here. If you want to explore by ferry, I'd suggest going to the booking office down from the apartment very early. It gets busy fast. Restaurants and shops are within walking distance. If you want to stock up on things from a supermarket, I opted for bellano, which was so easy to get to by train. But the little corner shop by the apartment and other shops in varenna have good supplies. Lovely little park within walking distance for children (I travelled with my three children) That's all the great things. But unfortunately my stay was ruined by noise within the apartment.

I was so exhausted and upset by the end of my week stay, having had night after night of excessive noise starting late into the night and continuing into the early mornings, from an apartment above. Of course this wasn't caused by the apartment hosts! And I was advised by my host that it isn't the norm and that maybe because I stayed over the Easter/holiday period, that was the reason for the loud party atmosphere. But I had little to no sleep and it affected my view of this stay as a whole. My kids couldn't settle. It wasn't just laughter. It was banging about, loud chatting, people up and down the stairwells, sounds like furniture being moved at 11pm, 12pm, 1am, 2am.. Beautiful location. But noisy during my time there. Not going to lie, I couldn't wait to leave for a better nights sleep. It's a shame because it wasn't my hosts fault. And the apartment was so pretty and convenient for exploring this beautiful area.
