This is my favorite home on Lake Como. It's beautiful and in the best location. Simply thd best!

This was the best stay out of all by far. Thank you to Dyshe. This lady was the best and an asset to the villa.

We stayed with my family with 3 children for a short stay in July. The location of this property could not be any better, easy walk to everything we needed. The balconies had spectacular lake views and the kids loved exploring in the outdoor area and path. The rooms were comfortable and the kitchen was equipped enough to prepare light meals & breakfast for kids. Fyi the stairs between the bedrooms and living room/kitchen are outside which I didn’t understand from the listing, but it wasn’t a problem in the end;) The owner had great communication and responded quickly to all my texts. Honestly I wish we could have stayed longer and if I return to Como I will definitely rent this place again!!!

Great views. Rooms comfy. Street level entrance and a walking path entrance that is close to town and Ferry. Lucca was awesome. Location perfect and views are spectacular. Comfortable, clean and was perfect for sipping wine and watching the sun set over Lake Cumo.

The property more than lived up to its description and was just the right size for two couples. We have stayed in Varenna previously and knew the village. The location of the property was perfect. Overall, the villa was magical with spectacular views of Lake Como.

What a gorgeous property! You know when you see villas with outstanding views and private gated entrances, and you wonder who lives there? YOU. You can live there, at least for a few nights. This house was exceptional and such an incredible place to relax while feeling like an absolute queen. My husband is still reeling from the reality that our everyday lives don’t have the beautiful terraces and gardens of this property, and I can’t say he’s alone in wishing we could be back in Varenna at this enchanting home.

The photos do not do this home justice. The views from the balconies are incredible and the rooftop vista is the best in Varenna. The garden is amazing. You have access to the main walkway along the water by exiting the garden gate. There’s an elevator for your luggage which was really nice. We stayed here when we got married and we’re so glad we did!

Best place to stay in Varenna.

We absolutely loved this villa! The location is absolutely ideal, and the views from the multiple balconies were spectacular.

We loved every piece of this visit. Unique, interesting, comfortable, beautiful views, private, amazing location, incredibly well stocked kitchen. We went slightly off season so the garden was not completely grown in but I imagine it is quite spectacular. The bedrooms were not the highlight but worker very well for our family of four. We spent most of our trip on the balcony, watching the ferry come and go and enjoying the sun move over the lake. Would go back in a heartbeat.

We stayed a week and would book this property again without hesitation. During our stay, we were provided with soap, shampoo, toothpaste and toothbrush, laundry soap, dish soap, sponge, trash bags, toilet paper, coffee pods for a few days, and salt. The villa lacked spices, cooking oils, paper towels, and drinking water, so a trip to the market upon arrival was necessary. There were only 4 wine glasses, and no beach towels. These are basic items that would have made this a top notch experience. (Hence 4 stars instead of 5) The views are stunning, location is perfectly situated, bedding luxurious and comfortable, water pressure is fantastic, extremely quiet at night, and the staff were wonderful and prompt to solve/answer any issues that came up. (5 stars) The elevator came in handy during the days it rained, so that we could stay dry moving about between the kitchen and bedroom floor.

Beautiful property right on the lake with views from the three terraces. Close to lake ferry and village of Varenna. Pictures do no do the property justice.

Superbe endroit, villa très agréable. Une découverte à faire en toute confiance

Everything was fabulous!

Very easy to book, great communication from the booking agent and owner.

This home is even better in person. Well equipped with comfortable beds. The main bedrooms both have en suite bathrooms, and the basement room has a powder room just outside the door. There is a very nice powder room off the kitchen, which is great since you have to exit the house to access stairs to each floor (we never used the elevator, but it is also outside the villa). The views from the 3 huge patios are STUNNING! Since the windows are west facing, the electric awnings were much appreciated at sunset. The gardens are extensive, and there’s a fabulous little spot with a bench to enjoy the lake views. We would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend.

August 2018 This place is great and I think I will be back for another beautiful experience. Kristoffer, Denmark

Words cannot describe how amazing this place is. It is a 2 minute walk to Veranna and 1 minute to the ferry. The location is amazing. The grounds are amazing beyond belief. The deck is perfect for eating meals or enjoying a glass of wine. The views cannot be done justice by the pictures. It was very comfortable, with nice AC, fast internet and good hot water. Our host Alessandro was incredibly nice, helpful, and responsive. Will definitely stay here again.

June 2018 Amazing setting! Lovely villa with great access into town. Wonderful spot for our family vacation! Marina, UK

April 2018 In the heart of the golden triangle of Lake Como - Varenna Bellagio and Mennagio, the villa is a few minutes walk to the ferry stop and in the other direction to town. It’s 10 min walk to train which you do not hear from the villa. The photos are accurate and will amaze when you arrive. The owner greeted us and spent an hour with us walking around explaining the property and it’s history. He truely cared about us having a wonderful stay. Fresh flowers and amenities made our initial night of settling in great also. Varenna has easy access to skiing 2 hours north and 1 hr south on the train you can be in the heart of Milan so it was a great place to explore from. The villa is quiet and private so you can escape the restaurant noises and busy crowds. You will hear the ferry if doors are open but that start at 7am and finishes in the early evening and didn’t bother us at all. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked many meals and ate on the terrace at sunset - magic. Great for our family of 4 with conftabke beds lounge and a great loft above the kitchen for the kids to hang out. We will be back to stay again. Simone, Australia

November 2017 This is an extraordinary, three story villa with a beautiful garden overlooking lake Como. Each of the floors has a breathtaking view of the lake. And each boasts gorgeous carrara marble bathrooms. Even the laundry room is beautifully finished in marble. The main floor living area is an open floor plan with a kitchen and breakfast area, as well as a huge walk out terrace with table,  suitable for formal meals. The home is beautifully decorated. Everything looks fresh and new, including the linens. The villa abuts the lakeside rock cliff, and has a private elevator, as well as stairs, take you to each floor. The owner met us on arrival, and told us about the history of his family home. A private parking space is provided--a very important in any small Italian town. Dining, shops, ferries and trains are short walks from the villa. Linda, USA

April 2017 This was the most beautiful property I've ever rented in Italy. It was truly stunning. The views were spectacular! The location was so perfectly situated. The photos do not do it justice!!! Linda, UK

October 2016 This is without a doubt the best place that you can stay to see Lake Como. Varenna is the best town to be in since it is less commercial and is easy to get around in and to catch ferries. The villa is a bargain for what you get; roomy, convenient, beautifully done from the decor to the retractable awnings. We sat on the patio nightly and enjoyed our Bellinis as we watched the sunset over the lake before strolling to dinner. The private entrance onto the walkway is perfectly located between the main town and ferry docks. I would come back every year if I could. Paul, USA

We are fortunate to have many wonderful travel experiences but feel particularly compelled to comment. The Villa is beyond compare for location, amenities and comfort. We enjoyed 6 days and would orinarily be itching to move on. Not so here. The owner and rental company went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and that all our needs were met. Varenna was lovely and picturesque while the Villa is near it alll it felt totally tucked away and secluded which is a difficult feat. We will definitely return even though we rarely go to the same place twice.

Thank you for your email. The Villa was amazing and the owner was very nice and explained all to us upon our arrival. It was a beautiful Villa and we enjoyed it very much, the owner had all amenities in the kitchen and the views were fantastic and the Villa was very handy to everything,we would stay again and recommend the Villa to friends.

We have just had a lovely week stay at this Beautiful Viila. From the rooftop road private entrance you take the elevator to the various levels of the villa. Which is very handy for those who find narrow stairs challenging. The two egg chairs are a lovely feature to have a birds eye view of the lake. The first floor is where the two separate bedrooms are with bathrooms, and beds are very comfortable each with a balcony that wraps around this level. Ground level is where the kitchen and living room are situated. The kitchen is well equipt with every utensil required. It is modern and served us perfectly. The very large balcony with table and chairs was a great location to dine or just sit and soak up the atmosphere watching the ferries zigzag the lake. The lower level is another room with sofa bed and the laundry. Then a few steps down your private entance to the promenade that leads to the ferry stop and the town centre in 2 minutes walk. The location is perfect. Easy to take the ferry to the very near Belaggio and Menaggio or the fast ferry to Como in 45 mins. The villa is a beautifully appointed and very classy. I would recommend Villa Lucia to anyone with a party of 5-6 people. You will love it.

We enjoyed our stay very much at Villa Lucia Varenna. I created a house tour video that you might like to use for your marketing. Here is the link. http://vimeo.com/99455307.

We have just completed a 5 night rental of Villa Lucia. We had a lovely time and the Villa is fantastic in all respects. We loved meeting Alessandro when we arrived, but I think it should be made clear that one arrives at the top gate to the house (by the roof) and then you buzz to let someone know you are up there. We didn't see the buzzer at first and were standing on a very narrow sidewalk with luggage and a toddler for at least 5 minutes before we figured out what to do. Alessandro was lovely and gave us a LOT of information but it was hard to take it all in. A booklet in English should be in the house detailing all of the directions for air-conditioning, putting up and down the shades on the deck, keys (quite a lot of them and somewhat complicated), etc. We LOVED Varenna. What a great little village. We enjoyed a lovely dinner on the terrace of La Vista and some simple breakfasts and pizza at Il Molo also morning coffee at Cafe Varenna on the little harbor. Without a toddler along :), we'd have tried some other nice smaller restaurants but decided to pass this time. The ferries were a great way to see the lake and we enjoyed going to Villa Carlotta, the lido in Menaggio, Bellagio and the park at the tip of the peninsula and a walk up to the castle. We loved our stay and I hope this feedback will be helpful.

We are absolutely loving the villa. It could not be in a better location and my family loves the views. On the morning of the 30th I believe we will be heading out around 10am After seeing how amazing the house is I know my family definitely wants to come back. Thank you again for everything!

We have had a wonderful stay and have a taxi picking us up at 12:15p tomorrow, June 20. We very much enjoyed the sunset from the rooftop terrace! Please tell the cleaning staff to take any extra food we leave behind as there are several unopened food items left on the table and refrigerator. Thanks form making our stay in Varenna most comfortable and memorable.
