Greatly location overlooking ferry docks an

Nice view of the lake

We can’t say enough about our stay in Varenna. This apartment is located within easy walking distance from everything in Varenna, the train station, the ferry boats, the restaurants, gelato, shops and most importantly the lake is visible from every window. We felt safe and well taken care of during our stay. The washing machine was great for us to do some laundry. They have everything we needed, a laundry drying rack, laundry soap, dish soap, towels, bedding, an umbrella for the day it rained. It was an amazing stay.

Nothing close to comfortable. Features are exaggerated. Distances and walking times are greatly understated. After 15 HOURS refrigerator on ‘coldest’’ setting was barely cool. The only refrigerator shelf for large bottles was broken and unusable. Sofa and chair covers smelled of sweat--human or dog? Tilt feature of bedroom was windows inop: One broken, other stuck. No mattress cover or fitted bed sheet, just a very thin flat sheet that did not stay tucked and mattress covered with hundreds of "pills". Very dark outside staircase dangerously unlit. No working light in main area. No working light switch at entry: We used refrigerator light to make our way to light switch at center of kitchen. Amenities scarce: 1 tea towel, 3 hangers, few utensils, only moka pot for coffee. No detergents for washing machine or dishwasher. As in another rental site review on Nov 2021, yes 2021, management was aware that auto-locking gate lock was broken from inside: VERY difficult and frustrating to insert key to unlock from inside. If owner believes a lock is necessary for location, it should work. We paid for a week, but left after ONE night. NO refund or accommodation offered. Varenna Holidays neglected its duty to check apartment for minimal standards. We suspect staff either does not have an inspection checklist or failed to use it. Apartment should never have been admitted to its portfolio or should have been removed once found maintained unsatisfactorily.

This apartment is even better than the pictures. We quickly learned the paths to get everywhere. There was a nice grocery close by. Everything was neat and clean. It is one flight up, about 14 steps. It has an elevator, it I don’t like to take them because of my claustrophobia. I would highly recommend this property to anyone.

This apartment was convenient to both the train station and ferry. Great view and restaurants nearby. The bed was comfortable and kitchen well appointed. We’ll stay here again.

Enjoyed our stay. Location is perfect.

Our stay in Varenna was terrific! We enjoyed the location, the people and of course, the magical views. The apartment was spotless, has most of the items necessary for a comfortable stay. Only for awareness (it didn't bother us) - there is no air conditioning in the unit. The fan may be sufficient depending on the time of the year you are visiting. Also, the proximity to the ferry may have some drawback for some - the noise and the smell of diesel fuel. We are however still rating this as a great stay, as the items above did not represent a negative for our vacation. Many thanks to Francesca at the Varenna Holiday agency - very helpful and prompt! We recommend.
