    No wine glasses! We managed!

    Perfect, quiet location just off the town square and The Romantic Walk. The apartment was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable. The balcony was lovely with a glimpse of the lake. This was perfect to enjoy beautiful Varenna. We would love to return to Varenna and would stay here again.

    Fabulous place to stay for 4 nights.

    No 180 degree lake view ...but hundreds aof euros a night pricier. Very close to the lake and the ferry.to get the view at no marginal cost.

    A very well equipped roomy apartment. Host arranged for us to be met at train and returned to station when leaving - thus avoiding a slog down and on return back . Thanks to our greeter Gabriele. [But Located 50 metres from St George Church, just below the info centre. Cipressi was essentially next door! On a path down to the beachfront - say 100m to the beach and say 1km from the ferry. Plenty of F&B options within a cricket ball throw. Varenna accomm is very pricey...but the location on Lake Como. Peep of the Lake from the lounge

    The shower was too small. The lever for hot and cold was easily bumped which could send icy or super hot water onto your body. It would be nice to have some wine glasses.

    Convenient to the lake and the plaza. We enjoyed the little patio. The man who picked us up was very pleasant and helpful.

    Nothing! Stay longer!

    Everything! From the check in to the check out, communication with Gabriele was perfect. The apartment is very spacious,, well equipped to meet every need, spotlessly clean throughout, comfortable and the patio an added bonus! The location couldn't be better but be aware of the cobbled Street access if you have mobility issues. We would thoroughly recommend this property! Thank you for a fabulous stay!

    We didn't have clear directions and location. I'm not sure how this happened and may not be the fault if the owner. However the person helping unfortunately couldn't help due to not being able to speak English and we don't speak Italian. Luckily we found someone to talk to the guy and they took us to the apartment which was brilliant.

    Spacious well equipped and clean

    The map showed the wrong location on the map. The apartment is located in the house that is between Villa Cipressi and Hotel Victoria. Don’t any lake views, but you can see lake through the window.

    Ery good and quiet location, spacious rooms. All equipment is there for longer stay.
