Wonderful spot that overlooks the lake and puts you nearby Varenna for all that it and the lake offers. Lots of space. Open the windows and let the fresh air flow through. As some have said, it’s a mile or so outside of town, but it’s a beautiful walk. The train rumbles through frequently but that is really cool, even if it’s noisy.

Thank you, Marilena for taking our last-minute booking! Camilla House was just lovely. It was so clean and comfortable and literally had everything we could have needed for an even longer stay. The lake views from your ceiling to floor windows were just fabulous. We appreciated that you met us in the center of Varenna and then drove with us to Camilla House to do our check in "in person" (no one does that anymore!). We were very happy to have the free private parking spot and want to thank you again for driving us back into Varenna and back to Camilla House (really only 2 minutes by car) so we could pick up some wine and a few groceries for breakfast. We actually did the walk into Varenna and back that evening since we wanted to drink during dinner and not drive. I was a little nervous about the mountain path, but it was very easy to access directly below Camilla House and was a pleasant walk into Fiumelatte and then along the road above the lake for a short stretch until you see the beautiful Monastero gardens. I actually really enjoyed the walk (and we really needed it after our delicious, but abundant dinner!). And the trains did not disturb us at all.
They were silent all night long, so we slept very well. Thank you, Marilena. You were a great host and Camilla House is wonderful. I only hope our next place in Florence will be too!

This place is very beautiful- the rooms and views are so stunning, but it is pretty far away from the city center. The listing states “in the center of Varenna” but this location was almost two miles away from Varenna and as a group unfamiliar with the area, we didn’t know how far away it actually was from the map shown in the listing. From the train/ ferry stations it’s about a 50 minute walk even for a group in our 20’s- we also tried calling 4 or 5 taxi companies to get us to the city and they weren’t able to help us so walking was the only choice. The train also runs right by the property- it stops at 9pm but starts up at 6am and woke us up every morning. The owner is very nice but very involved in the process.
If you are planning to have a car during your trip this could be a great place for you- or if you really enjoy getting in 20,000 steps a day. Otherwise a spot closer to town might be better.

It is a house with a view of the lake- but too far to practically walk to the village as there is no contiguous path or sidewalk so you risk getting hit by a car too much. Hot days, without a/c makes for a house a bit too warm. And the earth-shattering trains pierce the quiet from 5:30am to 10:30pm

Great property, but a long way from town. Not really practical while trains are not operating.

Marilena's place was such a comfortable and peaceful getaway, and she has been by far the most helpful host I've ever been with! She gave me and my partner a small tour of the area around the apartment with restaurant and activity recommendations. Her response time was almost immediate and made our stay even more enjoyable!

We had a great time in Varenna, and really enjoyed the apartment. The view was just stunning.
Marilena was very helpful, she met us in the centre of Varenna and gave an introduction to where everything was and gave some suggestions for the best places to eat. We then drove to the apartment and she explained how everything worked. The apartment was well equipped and the Wi-Fi was good.
The drive/walk in to Varenna is about 3km, you can go either via the coast road, or there is a walking trail that runs higher up and gives some nice views of the lake and mountains. Access to the garage in the centre of Varenna was such a bonus, thanks Marilena.
There is a restaurant (Ristorante Crotto di Pino) a few minutes walk from the apartment where we had some excellent food and nice views, so good we ate there twice during our week.
We loved Varenna, the town is very pretty, and it is easy to get the ferry from there for to Bellagio and Mennagio across the lake.
Highly recommended.

The unit was well situated next to a trail that allowed us to walk from Fiumelatte to Varenna without being on a road. It was a bit of a walk, but we could also take the train one stop to get to the larger town with restaurants etc. We hope to return one day!

Beautiful spot
Walk into Varenna roughly around 30/40 mins, which we found okay and no problems, helps burn off all the carbs! Marilena picked us up from station and dropped us at the apartment after doing some shopping. She also very kindly dropped us home a few nights after dinner. Very enjoyable experience overall, would recommend.

INCREDIBLE!!
Marilena is the greatest host we’ve ever stayed with. Her place is perfect. Go there if you want an authentic experience — don’t expect the glitz of Bellagio or the pampering of the typical tourist experience. Marilena will go above and beyond and her house is incredible.

Marilena couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming. We had a fantastic stay and look forward to spending more time in Varenna. The passing train gave me a bit of a start in the early hours but I awoke later feeling well rested.

Stunning views and gracious host!
Casa Camilla has stunning views of Lake Como. Varenna is a charming city to stay in. Conviene location to arrive by train or ferry. Most notable was our host the gracious Marilena! Can’t say enough about her, she was accommodating and anticipated all our needs. When we couldn’t get a taxi into town it was just one call to her to get it reconciled. The only drawback, if you have mobility issues is the walk to the City Center. We plan to return and stay a month!

Honestly. Staying at this apartment did not feel like a rental at all. You literally feel like you are at the home of a family friend. Marilena makes sure to provide everything you may need for your stay...and then some. The apartment is very clean and comfortable. Parking is included. No outside space, but the view from the apartment is unreal. Kitchen is fully equipped for cooking. Four minute drive to the center of Varenna. Marilena herself is quick to respond to any issues that may arise. One of my husband's front tooth caps fell off. She was able to get us an appointment with a fabulous dentist in Bellano the very next day. I would certainly not hesitate to stay again.

Such a cute little place, so close to Varenna. Just a 2.5 km walk or a 10 euro taxi ride. It was the perfect place where we could easily get into town, or be by ourselves. There is a quiet little restaurant about a minute walk from the apartment. Excellent food and spectacular lake view. Also, Marilena is a marvelous hostess with enviable energy. Our stay was magnificent.

Great location, wonderful host, best time!
Each time I share my vacation with friends/family, I cannot explain to them how much I enjoyed my stay in Varenna and how amazing our host, Marilena was!
I was on vacation with a friend and we booked this home for our short, two-day stay at the end of September. From the beginning, Marilena was very responsive and provided details on what train we should catch and the station we need to get off at. Once we arrived, Marilena greeted us at the train station and drove us the short distance to her rental home.
I was a bit nervous staying at a location that was not in the heart of the town, Varenna. However, after visiting there I would recommend staying out of town! The home was a short 20 minute walk to the ferry dock/train station, which allowed you to take in the beautiful views of Lake Como.
I hope to make a visit again in the future and when I do, I will definitely book with Marilena! Until then, I recommend this rental to anyone looking to enjoy the beautiful lake life in Varenna!

gorgeous views and wonderful host
Marilena is a wonderful host and thought of everything to make our stay pleasant. Our apartment was clean, comfortable, and homey -- with absolutely spectacular views!! And there is a private beach within walking distance. We loved our stay and the surrounding area and can't wait to return! We highly recommend this apartment!

Great place
Its a great place to visit Varenna, but you need a car, or a taxi to go to the center. The place is well equipped with everything you would need. More importantly, the owner, Marilenna, was wonderful. She met us at the train station with a car and help us with luggage, when we checked out.

Wonderful apartment with amazing view
Marilena was an amazing host in setting up the apartment as well as telling us all the tips and tricks we needed to know. The apartment was perfect and the private parking spot in Varenna is worth it’s weight in gold. There was a walkway down to the lake which we used regularly and never saw anyone else so it was like our own private beach. The apartment is out of the hustle and bustle of the touristy spots so the area is nice and quiet. The train does run just below you but this wasn’t a big deal for us. We got used to it within the first day. All in all a great spot and would go back in a heartbeat!

Perfect for our stay.
A very nice apartment overlooking the lake. We did not walk to town- it’s quite a long way. But Marilena has a garage space for free parking that we used. She was a good host and gave us good tips. The best thing we did when we were there was to rent a boat for a few hours to see the lake and villas and towns. Beds were comfortable, all appliances worked well. There is a train that periodically runs by the apartment after 8:00AM but it didn’t bother us. We had access to a small private rocky beach. There is a parking space for the apartment. It was perfect for our stay

Gorgeous view of Lake Como.
Thank you, Marilena, for taking such good care of us in Varenna. You treated us like good friends. We loved our stay at the Camilla House. The apartment was nice, plenty of room for us to sleep comfortably, and a nice warm shower. Thank you for helping us with transportation and a cell phone. You're the best.

Amazing Views. Fast internet. Good location.
Loved staying at Camilla House! Everything was clean and bright, with all the comforts of home and the views of the lake were spectacular (and the landline/fast speed internet was a dream…something we don’t always find when we travel abroad). While we had some April showers on the first days, we still managed to do the 5-7 minute walk into Fiumelatte on the path without any problems. Once in Fiumelatte we were able to stock up on fresh local foods and a few basic supplies at the darling little shop there (and we even enjoyed a nice meal at the Platano restaurant in Fiumelatte, too). From Fiumelattte we would walk the additional 10-15 minutes to the southern edge of Varenna which is a small, charming and very “walkable “village (really nothing is very far away) where we could catch the train or the ferry boat to explore the area further. Our host, Marilena was always available to help us out and was very kind to pick us up from the train station when we arrived and take us back when we left which helped a lot when we had all our luggage. But really the views from Camilla House, even on the rainy days, were amazing. We loved it.

BEAUTIFUL view of Lake Como, Gracious Host
Priceless view of Lake Como.
Comfortable apartment. Good bed.
We had no car. Our gracious host gave us a ride to and from the train.
Apartment is along the Green Way de Patriarchi...a beautiful 1 hour walk to Varenna. We used a local taxi to get to the ferry dock to visit Bellagio and other cities. May be suggested a best stay if you have your own transportation. Long haul without a car.

cozy, comfortable lodging in a quaint town
Casa Camilla was a terrific VRBO for our stay in Varenna. Marilena was the perfect host, providing us with assistance at every step from meeting us at the train to providing a tour of the area. While not in the heart of Varenna, we enjoyed beautiful views of the lake from our windows. The apartment was well furnished, clean, and comfortable. Marilena thought of every detail, and we would definitely return to this lovely place!

The owner thinks of everything you might need
We heard about Casa Maddalena from a friend and found it by google. Marilena, the owner, told us that Maddalena was booked but that she had another property , Camilla House in the neighboring town. We were renting a car so it worked for us. What really made it work great is that the Camila house had it's own on site parking spot PLUS Marilena provided another private single car garage right in the town center of Varenna which we could use anytime. That made Camilla House's location just outside of the city a non-problem. Other special perks Marilena provided were an Italian cellphone loaded with her number so we could call for advice and could also use to call to reserve tours and make other arrangements all over Italy. W'OW! As if that were not enough, Marilena provided a cute little washing machine and drying racks in the Condo! So appreciated as we were on a 2 week tour of Italy. The bed and the apartment were comfortable and there were 2 sofa beds in the living room so it would be perfect for a family although we had no use for them. Her kitchen is very well equipped and she truly tried to think of everything we might need right down to a couple of umbrellas in an umbrella stand We rent a beach condo at Edisto Beach and we really have tried to be the same kind of owner but she has us beat! I have never rented travel accommodations from anyone who tried so hard to be helpful. Oh, and I forgot to mention, it's on a hillside looking right down on Lake Como. What a beautiful view. Be sure and look Marilena Anghileri up. She'll fix you up with a great place.
Would I recommend this vacation rental to my best friend? Yes.

The view from this apartment is just magnificent and Mariela is a wonderful host.
The apartment was well equipped and very clean. Great location and the available parking garage was very convenient. Mariela is a wonderful host and has thought of everything. We would definately consider this apartment if we return to Lake Como. We hope the weather will be nicer than it was for us so that we could enjoy the beach!

Peace on the lake
We spent four nights at Marilena's comfortable apartment south of Varrena and thoroughly enjoyed the quiet, the view of Belaggio, and the well equipped kitchen. She met us at the train station and explained the town and region while taking us to her apartment. She was helpful and available. The apt. is just over a mile from town and we found the walk a good time to meet people and appreciate the lake shore.

Wished we could stay longer!
The views of the lake and surrounding mountains were stunning. The condo was very comfortable and nicely appointed. The owner was very helpful. She picked us up at the train station, oriented us for our stay, and took us back to the trains for our departure. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would definitely return. Note that we did lots of walking. There are taxis, if required.
