Great location. Beautiful views. Everything you need!

Robyhouse is very central. It is not far from the train station and we walked to the apartment which is located in a pedestrian area. The apartment is well equipped with all you need to make the stay comfortable. Beautiful views from the veranda. I spent a lot of time watching the lake and all the boats and ferries going by.

I walk with a crutch and there are many stairs in Varenna. My mistake, I should have done my homework better. Come fit!

Disappointing and in need of work

Location is fantastic, right on the lakefront, close to bars and restaurants, short walk to train station and ferry terminal. Wonderful view from the balcony.

The apartment is really run down, with evidence of severe damp on the walls, paint peeling. The apartment also looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time as it was filthy. Shower was broken (we were advised it was new by the owners). Taped up with plastic and really dangerous for our toddler to use. Nowhere to hang towels, no toilet roll holder. The aircon packed up with 2 days remaining of our trip and we contacted the owners who told us to turn it down! The towels on arrival were damp smelling and musty so we washed these straight away. We entered the lounge area and the skirting boards were hanging off. Real shame, as the location is great but the place needs some TLC and needs work doing before renting out to holidaymakers. Wouldn't recommend especially at the prices being charged.

Lovely apartment in a stunning setting

The setting is fantastic, the flat is spacious and very comfortable, the owner was very nice and welcoming

A bigger balcony that we all could have sat on but that is not really in the control of the owner!

Mesmerizing view of lake como!

The view from the balcony is absolutely amazing! the appartment looked smaller in the photos. we have travelled with a toddler and was really confortable.

everything was great and the communication with Vittorio was easy. all the apparent was clean! However the bathroom needs a renovation.

Beautiful house. Fantastic view.

Lovely house with modern interior, overlooking the lake. Secure. Private gate access. Fantastic view from balcony. Efficient air-conditioning in both bedrooms. Double beds both rooms (one is sofa bed). Lots of power points. Location excellent.15 minute walk from train station. 8 minute walk to ferry. Steep steps beside house lead directly down onto Lovers walk and lakeside promenade with restaurants and bars.

Liked everything but should mention the property not wheelchair accessible. Steps down to hall door from inside the gate.

Wish we’d been staying longer!

Obviously it’s all about the location! However the apartment had everything you needed and we appreciated the little things like olive oil and tea/coffee provided. Also the washing machine was useful as we were travelling light. Due to issues with the trains we gratefully accepted the offer of a transfer from a nearby town which got us to that wonderful balcony view all the quicker! Thanks so much Vittorio!

Can’t think of anything!

enjoyed being in a wonderful property in a prime location

fantastic location, immaculately clean, well equipped and Comfortable. Bed is very comfortable, nice to have washing machine, love the balcony overlooking the lake. easy check in, convenient to everything…ferry, train station walkable, small grocery store, fancy grocery store with fresh meats just off the main piazza. Many restaurants and bars very close by. these are all reasons why we have returned to this property for many years.

seems to me a small amount of maintenance on the rear garden where you enter would enhance the property.

We had a great stay, loved the balcony. I don’t think the guests should be expected to haul the trash across town.

location, balcony,

Needs chair or something else to sit on in living room. Shower fills up, slow to drain.

Beautiful view, but not cleaned after other guests

Good location and the view from the balcony. Apartment has dishwasher and washing machine.

Very untidy apartments. I am not sure anyone cleaned anything after earlier guests, except changing the towels. I hope that it has been changed... :) Shower has been definitely not cleaned (even a used empty bottles of shampoo have been left) and clogged: the same moment you start water you are already standing in the puddle up to your feets. The floor and carpet have been covered in crummbles. I can not say it definitely... But after a night spent there me both with husband had a lot of bites all other the body. I hope it was some kind of mosquito outside. But I am not sure...

Worth the distance traveled. Our whole world was better waking up to this view.

From the moment we met with the property representative to the time we checked out, everything was taken care of. We had to figure out a couple of things on our own, but we consider ourselves lucky to find this property with stunning views morning, noon and night. Bonus feature: Easy, beautiful walk to ferry boats.

We can think of any improvements.

excellent view of the lake in a great location in town

loved the view of the lake from the property and how close it is to town. We loved that the host was so responsive via WhatsApp for check in and any issues during our stay

there was mold in the lower part of the shower, and shower drains very slowly.

Brilliant Apartment

- Unbelievable location, the view from the balcony was just insane. - Nearby to the main attractions, restaurants and facilities in Varenna - Responsive and helpful host before and during our stay. - Apartment was large, clean and had useful facilities

- The A/C units weren't the best and didn't always work...but luckily the apartment stayed fairly cool despite the heat

An honest review. MUST read before booking here.

The view is stunning, and the property is well-positioned in Varenna. Very basic but is a self-equipped with facilities.

The cleanliness was very poor. Specifically, the sheets and bedding were dirty with old blood stains, male and female hair, and crumbs. Upon notification, the owners provide new sheets but did not change them. I needed to do it. It was disgusting, unhygienic, and inappropriate to expect me to change someone else's dirty sheets. I also waited a long time for them to arrive with the new sheets, which was during dinner time, and they just left them outside, with no offer to change them. This was time wasted during my short stay. By the the I went out for food, the nicer restaurant's kitchens were shut, and I had to wait for 30mins to get a table, not eating until after 10pm. After travelling 5 hours to get to Varenna earlier that day, it was VERY disappointing and this whole experience runined my stay. The property is also very hot. What there is air-con, it is only in two of the rooms. The property was HOT and uncomfortable. In general it was very basic and bare. Which would have been fine, but the lack of cleanliness and ineffective air-con made me not want to stay there. Further, whilst there are adequate cooking facilities, there are no shops easily accessible to purchase provisions.

The location and view were great, but the cleanliness was bad.

The view from the balcony is tremendous, and the property is well located along a quaint cobblestone pathway with restaurants. For the price, this was a pleasant surprise.

The kitchen was crawling with ants from the moment we arrived. There was an open bag of sugar in the cabinets that had ants streaming in and out, so we tossed this out outside and tried to kill the ants the best we could. Later, the ants were swarming the garbage can, which forced us to also move that outside. Later, despite removing these two items, ants were still coming in and out of the apartment through a vent low on the wall. In the bathroom, the shower drain was so clogged with hair that the bottom of the shower would fill up with water after just a few moments (with the water not even running at full pressure) and spill out, flooding the bathroom floor.

Great location, close to all the restaurants and bars, as well as the ferry and the train station. The unit had an awesome view from the small balcony.

Kind of an odd layout for the rooms. Living room could use more furniture (only one small couch).

Gorgeous View - Carelessly Managed and Appointed

LOCATION: Amazing view! Central location, 7-8 min walk to ferry, 2 minute walk to the main restaurant square.---- KITCHEN: Decent kitchen with a tiny fridge. ---- BEDROOM: Great AC! The mattress was fine (did not try out the pullout couch), the sheets were cheap but acceptable. ---- OTHER: The washing machine works great, and there is ample space to hang things to dry.

ARRIVAL: This property is very poorly managed, and we had much trouble getting access to the apartment. We informed the host of our estimated arrival time and flight, and once we obtained an Italian SIM card we tried calling, texting and emailing her that we were an hour away. We never heard back and had to wait outside the place for her to finally call back and give us instructions to the lockbox. ---- BED: The two pillows were not very substantial. We found an extra pillow, but it had blood stains all over it and no pillow-case. Two pillows for each sleeper would be great, as well as no blood.----- BATHROOM: The shower is a joke; It doesn't drain and makes a bit of a mess. There is no trashcan... which makes it tempting to flush feminine products (instead of walking to the kitchen trash with your used feminine product) :-P. There are also no hooks to hang your towels on. The gallon sized "all in one" bath product is awkward to use, and smells bad.---- OTHER: Broken wine glass. No safe box. Flimsy balcony furniture.

Beautiful lake views

Lovely apartment with great balcony and views over the lake. Perfect location - central and close to the train station and ferry. Bedroom was quiet at night and bed was very comfortable although it would have been useful to have bedside lamps rather than just a very bright overhead light. Kitchen was well equipped but it would have been great to have some tea or coffee provided. The air conditioning was also old, noisy and not very effective.

Room with a view

Location was great, fantastic view, good heating system.

Something wrong with the septic system as the toilet smelt really bad. Footing in bedroom was lifting and couldn’t shut bedroom door. Extension lead for washing machine was faulty, was trying to get us to fix it over the phone. Eventually came to site and replaced lead. Shutters on door didn’t work, skirting coming away from the wall, couldn’t open dishwasher and chunk of door was broken off, toilet seat broken. On the surface everything looked great.
