We had a wonderful stay here! Host was very responsive and helped us get where we needed to go as a mud slide took out rail and road. The apartment itself is pretty average but has everything you need. What you're really staying for is the view!! This was the best view we had the whole trip and took our breath away every day! However, would highly recommend a car. We decided not to bit climbing that hill with out luggage (or even without) was TOUGH! It pretty far from town and straight uphill. Totally worth it for that view but still added a bit of a challenge. Overall would highly recommend!!

The view from the apartment terrace onto the lake is breath-taking and very beautiful – but unfortunately the apartment was not! We were very disappointed when we arrived: • Dirty - all rooms of the apartment were dirty and mattresses, pillows, bed linings and towels had a very bad and old smell. According to the local caretaker, the apartment has not been used for a long time ...and obviously, nobody had cared to open the windows and to prepare for our arrival. So we had to spend almost the entire first day to change and wash things to make the place somehow usable. The next day the local caretaker sent a cleaner who freshened the place up. • No pool - the advertised pool was closed. According to the owner this is due to the Covid pandemic, but neighbours told us that it is simply broken. The owner then wrote us that we could use a small public beach down by the lake. This meant 10 minutes drive plus 10 minutes search for a car parking space. It is outrageous that the owner even considered this as a compensation as opposed give us a refund! • No garage – the advertised car parking garage was full of old dirty furniture and rubble - no chance to park a car in there! The owner blamed others for these failures (the pandemic for the closure of the pool and Fe-Wo-direct/VRBO for not updating their website) but all this is in her responsibility! ...choose at your own risk!

Amazing views with a beautiful huge patio. Comfortable beds... worth the trip! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here:) However, it could use some sprucing up including larger towels.

The property was dirty when we checked in. The property manager came and cleaned for 15 minutes or so. The towels were hand towels for your body which clearly did not work out. They were also rough, worn, and stained. There was no soap in the bathroom which is a hygiene issue for me. The bed quilts were filthy underneath with questionable stains. The freezer was broken, gate latch was broken, and shutters were broken. I didn’t sleep well at all. I was uncomfortable in the property so I spent all of my time out exploring the lakes away from the property. It was essentially an uncomfortable crash pad. The owner said something about a gas leak getting repaired and you could still smell gas the whole trip by the car parking area. Do yourself a favor and spend a little more to stay closer to town. It’s really a trek to make every day without a car.

Varenna is the perfect place for exploring the Lake Como. We were three friends visiting this area to cycle for 4 days, and the apartment was perfect for our stay (maybe exept for the 2 km hill we had to do from the ferry and back every day). We could relax in the front yard with a nice view over the lake or take a bath in the common pool. We did not have any noisy neighbours during our stay, it was quiet and relaxing. The only drawback was that we had a very warm week with extremely high temperature (unnormally high, 40 degC at day and 27 degC at night) and that led to warm nights when there was no aircondition in the apartment. There was to fans there, which helped us to sleep. We would love to come back to stay here.

This property is in a nice, quiet location up above the town of Varenna. It was a very relaxing place to spend the last days of our vacation in Italy. It’s a hike to town, but after the Amalfi Coast we were up to the task of ascending/descending hills. The ample parking was a nice change compared to our other Italy rentals (we never lost sleep in fear of a bus side swiping our rental car!), and there is plenty of parking to be found in town, always lots of room at the train station for a nominal charge. We were very pleased to discover that this apartment is situated in the end unit of the complex, so you get a huge ground floor patio, vastly superior to the numerous rental units that had only tiny balconies, in addition to beautiful views from 2 sides. This was a bonus considering the listing didn’t really highlight this as a unique feature in the area. The apartment was comfortable and spacious for my family of four, and the grocery store just a few hairpins above had most of what we needed for supplies (better bread and fresh pasta can be found in Varenna). Could use some attention to amenities like towels, dishcloth/sponges that were extremely well used, wrecked iron/ironing board, burnt out light bulbs... You will put up with the freezer door being duct-taped on, a garden in need of tending/weeding, all because of the view— It’s simply breathtaking!

I've never been to Italy before & chose the Lake Como area as our home base. The apartment had all the basics and that is all we required. There were a few minor things: a clogged shower drain which caused water to drain slowly & the sofa bed was too uncomfortable to sleep - a bar in the middle of the bed was higher than the head and foot of bed - Fortunately, there were two fold up twin beds and an additional couch for our party of five which sufficed. A few of the side lamps in the kitchen didn't work - burned out bulbs? The apartment is in an excellent location perched just above Varenna & just a couple minutes drive from Varenna's train station. We will be back someday & hope that we will be able to stay here again.

The views of the lake at this apartment are as good as most anywhere on the lake-truly beautiful! Enjoying the outdoor patio was the best part of our stay! The apartment was clean though a little sparse. It would benefit from a little decorating and warmth. The walk up and down the hill was a bit strenuous. We enjoyed it and the pool to cool off after the walk but if you are taking many bags up, you would likely want a car or taxi as the property is up quite a hill-adds to the views though!
