A modern apartment (furnished mostly by Ikea) at the very top of central Varenna with an obstructed, but nice, view of Lake Como (roof and TV antenna obstructing the view). Steep uneven steps lead to this two story apartment with an open living room/kitchen upstairs. A large fully opening glass door leads to a small, sunny patio (gets very hot due to a western exposure in the summer) Kitchen was equipped enough for very basic cooking. Laundry machine worked very well, but slow. Power problems prevent using multiple appliances at once (AC, Washer, stove, etc) (We only flipped a breaker once) The only light bulb to the bathroom was reported to management the first day as burnt out, we were told it would be fixed and it never was replaced. Two nice bedrooms are downstairs with comfortable beds and good linens. Bathrooms have small but nice showers with good water pressure and hot water. Close to restaurants, bars, and a take away fast food pizza restaurant. The Varenna Holiday office is immediately below the apartment across the street. Four of us were very comfortable and happy with this interesting, fun, modern apartment built into a very old structure.. The staff is very friendly and helpful (we never bothered to ask again for the light bulb). We had a fantastic time and would definitely return again. This apartment is not suitable for people with mobility issues that are not comfortable climbing a steep uneven, narrow staircase. We got a lot of exercise just walking up the steps, which is basically everywhere in Varenna. Highly recommend!

The property managers of Varenna Holiday are really wonderful and helpful with all aspects of our stay in Varenna on Lake Como. We chose Varenna because we could take a direct train from Milan. But beware, if you do take the train, there is only one small platform and the train only stops for about 30 seconds and if you are in the wrong area of the train, you cannot get off and will have to get off at the next stop. We ended up getting a taxi to the VRBO, which worked out because we had a lot of luggage it would have been a hike to get from the train station to the property (about a 5 minute walk, but on cobblestone streets is not easy with luggage and in the dark). Once we got to the property manager's office, which is across the street from this darling apartment, all went smoothly and like clockwork. The place is clean, bright and welcoming. We had only 1 snag. The hot water does not work if the thermostat is off. Figured that out after a few days of no or cold showers. And just beware that there are steep stairs up to apartment (the elevator can take your luggage from halfway up stairs to 3 level in the kitchen). But we were fine with that, plus we got an amazing view of the lake! Would recommend this place for sure!

the view, the acommodation it's really a good location really central. But you have to like stairs because they are many mostly when you're comming back from the Edge of the lake. the ground was not clean.
