I have nothing but GOOD to say at all about our stay here while we were vacationing in Italy. I’ll point out what I’d say are obvious to most stays in Italy, just because I think it’s good information for Americans like us. A lot of people on these apps leave negative feedback for these reasons, but just know that we’re in Italy and these factors are just about everywhere here. 1) there are steps to get to your room, sometimes a lot of them. At the actual apartment, there are only a couple steps, I wouldn’t even call them stairs. Plenty of stairs before you get there though. 2) the showers are small! I’m 6’4” and 240lbs… I fit, but it’s not like home, lol. Okay now that that’s over with, here’s the positive aspects of this place. 1. Location, location, location!!! Easy walk to anywhere. 10 minutes with luggage from the train. Food right underneath you (make a reservation). Food along the water, nearly the entire way to the ferry stop… which is about a 10 minute walk. Make the hike up to the castle, the views are worth it! 2. Washing machine. This was huge for us as it was the halfway stop of our 17 day vacation. There’s even a great clothes rack in the closet to help drying. NOTE: NO AC! We didn’t need it, the fans worked great, but just beware in case you’re coming when it’s hotter. Stay here, you won’t be disappointed!!!

Our stay in this lovely apartment in Varenna situated over a little Italian restaurant was absolutely perfect! Super charming with an absolutely stunning view of Lake Como from the living room and bathroom windows. It was very well equipped with anything we needed for our stay. We loved the entire experience!

This place is great! It’s right in the center of town and close to everything in Varenna. It looks out into a beautiful piazza and you can also partly see the lake and mountains from the windows. There is also a shared outside area where you can see the lake a bit better. We would definitely go back!

There was no internet for two days. I called the office four times and was told that I didn’t know how to sign on. The third day they sent someone out who rebooted the router, which was in another unit. The TV never worked. Perhaps I don’t know how to turn on a TV either.

The apartment is clean and modern. Some street noise during the day but quiet at night. The apt is difficult to find. GPS directions send you along the harbor which is difficult with bags. Stick to the high Road. There is a sloped drive that goes down just before the Royal Victoria Hotel. The bed is comfortable. The shower a little cramped. The kitchen is well equipped. We did not use it much but appreciated the washing machine. The apt is an excellent base for exploring the lake towns.
