We enjoyed our stay in Casa Bella. The view was amazing. Apartment had everything we needed to make our trip very enjoyable. Location was great close to restaurants and ferry. It does get loud at night but when we closed the doors it was fine. Having both a washer and a dryer was a nice surprise and very useful. Dryers are not easy to find in Italy. Our host son met us at the square and assisted us with our luggage also arranged transportation for our return. He responded quickly to our questions. Thank you for a unforgettable experience!

Casa Riva has an absolutely stunning view of Lake Como. We booked because of balcony facing the lake. Pick up service from train by owner’s son was a plus. Just steps to restaurants and lake. Ferry a short walk. Our only regret is not staying a couple more days. Three is not enough,

Wonderful property just as described. Location 10/10, and would definitely stay here again!

Giorgio and Alberto were two fine gentlemen and took care of our needs while on our three night stay! The location was fantastic and we took advantage of the Bistró directly below for dinner (twice). Waking up to coffee overlooking the lake was breathtaking. The only negative are the hills/steps you have to navigate when treking out! Bring good walking shoes! I would come back to Casa Riva in an instant!

I arrived with my boyfriend, I left with my fiancé! Couldn’t have asked for a more romantic setting. This apartment was beautiful not least because of the stunning view across the lake. We were there in January and the apartment was warm and cozy and had everything we needed. Giorgio and Lorena were really helpful in our pre planning and on arrival. We were looking for somewhere to celebrate new years and they made some local suggestions. They also kindly offered to make a reservation for us at a restaurant in the village. Also on arrival telling us everywhere to go and where was good to eat. There are a couple of places right underneath the apartment and they are the only place to eat on the lake shore so it really couldn’t have been better. A great location to drive to many other places too, notably St Moritz! We loved discovering the specialities of the region, especially in Valtellina. We had a gorgeous stay and loved our idyllic apartment.

Varenna is a beautiful little town with a friendly community. Alberto’s attentiveness to our arrival and departure were terrific and he generously picked us up at the train and transported us to the apartment. The apartment was well equipped for our needs to explore the area, cook, and to travel to destinations via ferry and train. Our goal was relaxation and the locale is well suited for that in the off-season. The furnishings in the apartment were less supportive of that goal, though in season, I am sure it’s a fine place to crash for a few hours for a couple of days. We were a bit disappointed that we could not use the fireplace as that would have added to our enjoyment in the cooler evenings. Had it not been advertised, we would not have given it a second thought, but it was one of the reasons we chose this apartment. The grocer and the butcher at the Salumeria were lovely, and we had massages in town with Silvia after days of short hikes in the hills in and around Varenna. Overall a great stay, and we would return to Varenna in the off season again. Thanks for your hospitality Alberto.

The best views and location. We were walking distance from shops, restaurants, and the square. With 2-3 min walk. It was honestly our favorite. Alberto was also great and super responsive. Very kind and welcoming!

Super place to stay. Owners were incredibly helpful.
