Great location on the water with killer views and easy access to anywhere you want to go - shops and restaurants are a short walk away. Alberto was a wonderful host, always replied promptly to inquiries. You will love staying here.

We had a wonderful stay in idyllic apartment. It overlooks the beautiful lake. And having morning coffee on the private balcony was a dream. Easy walking everywhere. Lots of good food. And Alberto could not have been nicer.

Waking up on Lake Como is amazing. The local ferries make getting around easy and the dining options in Varenna are the best in Italy. Alberto who looks after the property was fantastic. Looking forward to doing it all again.

This property is in a perfect location on the lake in the village of Varenna. The hosts were easy to communicate with and Alberto kindly picked us up from the train station and attended some drainage issues promptly during our stay. We loved the small terrace and the french doors. The weather was hot and humid during our stay and whilst the air con and large ceiling fan kept the small living room cool, the bedroom with only an old ceiling fan was warm. This apartment is let down by a need for of a proper renovation, particularly the bathroom which has a shower over the bath and tends to flood the floor resulting in a lot of mould in the grout etc. which hasn’t been cleaned. The toilet seat didn’t fit the toilet properly and the metal bathroom sheves were chipped and rusty. The odd assortment of furniture and the decor is a bit ad hoc and seems somewhat cluttered with a variety of styles which could be simplified and streamlined to improve both the look, feel and usability of the space and make room for a coffee table. A nespresso machine would have been welcome although there is a ‘drip’ coffee filter machine if you like that and stove top expresso pot which we used. The ironing board needed replacement too. We appreciated our stay and our hosts, but for the significant cost to stay here, we would like to see this apartment improved.
