The apartment has a nice view and is conveniently located near the town center, as well as a small swimming beach. A coffee-maker with sufficient coffee and a washing machine with two detergent pods were provided and worked well. We hung our clothes to dry, using the many hangers in the closets. The weather during our stay was in the 90s F, and two of the four A/C units weren't working properly, making the loft a bit uncomfortable. Additionally, our suitcases were too big to bring up the spiral staircase, which was a little inconvenient. The apartment is probably better suited to backpackers, as is the town. Many streets are actually steep alleys of stairs, which is charming, but difficult when carrying large, heavy luggage. The wifi was spotty, but that could be a Varenna-wide problem with so many visitors packed into a town with fewer than 1,000 residents. I sent a WhatsApp about the A/C and wifi, but did not try the provided phone numbers due to issues with my international calling plan. We enjoyed our stay, swimming most days, sampling several good restaurants and gelaterias, visiting the villa gardens, and day-tripping to Bellagio and Bellamo. The ferries are busy, and private boats are expensive, but it was still fun, and we thoroughly enjoyed the nonstop gorgeous views. We would definitely consider returning!

Overall this property was lovely. Very nice apartment and beautiful town with lots to do and places to eat. The only issue we had during our stay was a problem connecting to the Internet, which never got remedied, despite multiple tries to get help from the owners and thru VRBO.

The property is centrally located where you will want to be, however that comes with a little bit of noise at night, but its totally worth it. The unit is clean and comfortable. The 2nd bedroom is up a pretty narrow spiral staircase so it's not conducive to bringing up large pieces of luggage. Overall, it was a really nice stay.

Che perfezione! This was a wonderful place. Perfect location in Varenna with views of the lake and close to everything. Very fun apartment with everything you would need. Very clean and parking was a very short walk. Check-in was online and easy with the bonus of a lock box entry. Thank you for the wonderful stay! We cannot wait to return!

My husband and I stayed here with another couple & had a great time! The apartment is pretty, modern, & comfortable for 4 people. Plus, the views of the lake!!! The location is perfect-right near the plaza with shops and restaurants, and it’s a short (hilly) walk to the lake. One thing to note-one of the bedrooms is upstairs via a small spiral staircase. It’s a bit challenging to bring up a heavy suitcase, but doable. And, the mini window view at the top is worth it!

The location was excellent. It was on level with the road and a small plaza with several restaurant sand you could walk down to the lake where more restaurant options were available. Once you walk down to the lake the views are spectacular. Ferry service is very accessible to the other towns. Biggest downside was communication in general. Took days to her back when sending a whats app message. Also ferry service must be purchased day of so you cant buy tickets for the next day ferries in advance. Lines for ferry purchase can be long, especiall for Bellagio so plan to get there early. Varenna was my favorite, and that was after visiting Belaggio, Melaggio and Como. It is the most charming and easy paced.

Lovely small apartment, nicely located. Clean and had all we needed. Small glitch with an air conditioning unit, but we were very happy to have any air conditioning on that hot weekend so we worked around it.
