Nothing. It was great. Would stay again for sure.

Elise was so helpful and responsive to our questions and met us at the apartment when we arrived and gave us information about the local area. The location was perfect! The A/C works great, which is so important because it was SO HOT outside! The apartment was spacious, updated, and clean and comfortable. Be prepared to walk up several flights of stairs!

Do to the nature of the layout of the town the address was a bit hard to find

Elisa was extremely helpful

The only thing I was disappointed with was the bed. Every spring could be felt through the mattress as we tried to sleep. It became very uncomfortable. After two nights I finally put the extra blanket underneath the bottom sheet to provide some cushion, which did help.

This Varenna apartment is just steps above the lake, restaurants and shops. It was the perfect location for our five nights of exploring the neighboring lakeside towns. Elisa was so kind to meet us earlier than check in time as our train arrived early. She kept in contact throughout the week checking if we needed anything.

We didn’t get the identification forms because we were traveling, so we had a slight delay getting into the lock box. The cleaners accidentally disconnected the wifi modem. Not the fault of the owner.

Location was perfect

No complaints at all.

Our stay at the Cypress House was outstanding! I think it has the best location in Varenna, close to both the ferry and the train station (we arrived by ferry and left via the train station). It is literally just a few steps to great restaurants. The WiFi is very strong. And the air conditioning works great. Also, communication from the host was quick and easy. A wonderful stay!

The location is perfect. Close to many restaurants. The house is clean and the staff is very friendly. We are going to recommend this place to many friends. Thank you.

The refrigerator that wasn’t working, shower box too small.

The location of this apartment is unbeatable! It’s right in the heart of the city, yet tucked away enough that you feel calmness after spending all day out. Great cost x benefit. It’s cozy and has good amenities, such as the small laundry machine/drying rack, plates, cutlery etc. Unfortunately, we had a problem with the refrigerator not working during our stay. Still, we had a great time in Varenna!

From the moment I booked the communication was stellar. Our host was fabulous-she met us at the apartment, explained how to get in, went over the city map, gave us dinner recommendations and kept in contact with us during our stay in-case we needed anything. Location was also perfect!

Cleanliness

The location was excellent

Be prepared for the stairs...4 flights once you get to the front door, and many more before that. The apartment was small for two couples, with one couple on the sofa bed. But for only two nights it was fine. This was very expensive for what you get and compared to everywhere else in Europe that we have been. But I guess that is Lake Como 😓

Varenna is stunning! The location of the apartment was good, being walking distance from the train and most sights. But Varenna is small and most everything is walking distance. Fantastic restaurant (Alma) at the bottom of the stairs on the water.

Sofa was a fold out bed, we used it just as a sofa not a bed but it was quite uncomfortable to sit on. We thought maybe it wasn't folded back in properly but I think it was just uncomfortable! Wasn't too much of an issue given we weren't at the accommodation much but you wouldn't want to be trying to relax on the sofa here!

Perfect location, easy access with great communication from the host. Space was clean and had a washing machine which was handy. Bed was comfortable.

Location and facilities were great, we used the property as a base for a family wedding and it gave us everything we needed.

The accuracy of the description of the property. It is described as having a lake view. There is no lake view from inside the unit. The cover photo was taken either from the exterior, or by someone sticking their head completely outside the window and snapping a photo. Also, the unit is directly on the main street through town, so the noise can be intense, especially at night. If the windows are open when a car drives by, the sound echos between the buildings on one side of the street and the buildings on other side. It is less bothersome but still very noticeable if the windows are closed.

The area, the furnishings, etc.

The beds were terrible. The master bed was so short my ankles were on the wood so I had to sleep in the pullout couch which creaked and sagged in the middle. It was extremely uncomfortable and the traffic noise was bad. Also the AC made a loud noise all through the night. I slept about 3 hours a night.
