About this property

Sublime views on the central lake!

Situated in an exclusive lake view residence just moments from the famous resort town of Varenna, this splendid holiday home is the perfect retreat for couples and friends!

The residence is built in the historical grounds of the 17th century Villa Capoana, which was built for the Duke of Mount Marciano and still conveys its noble past from the beautifully preserved monumental fountain and garden area with the famous Fiumelatte river gushing past.

Guests can either access the gated residence by a flight of steps from the street level or by the private garage which is located inside the residence and is provided for guest’s convenience.

The contemporary holiday home benefits from 80sqm of modern and spacious open plan living and serves as the perfect retreat from which to relax and entertain during your Lake Como stay.

A stylish and inviting living area is furnished with a comfortable cream sofa, flat screen TV with DVD player and a dining area for up to 4. Doors lead directly out to the sunny private lake view terrace, which is the perfect spot for sunbathing and ‘alfresco’ dining, with breathtaking views across the central lake to enjoy!

The fully fitted contemporary kitchenette provides all the desired appliances for creating delicious home-cooked meals during your stay, with a gas hob, oven and microwave. A local grocery shop and bakery in Fiumelatte provides a good selection of food and fresh produce for guests during their stay and the nearby restaurants of Varenna provide the perfect excuse to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine!

The holiday home is the perfect choice for a romantic escape, with a spacious double master bedroom leading directly out to the sunny private terrace which enjoys spectacular lake views.

Additional guests can easily be accommodated to the living area, which features a comfortable double sofa bed.

The modern bathroom is fitted with a power shower, washbasin with vanity mirror and hairdryer, a WC, bidet and washing machine.

The apartment is conveniently located along the main lake road of Fiumelatte and guests can easily reach the local grocery, shop and restaurant in the village.

Fiumelatte is extremely well connected with a train station operating a Lecco-Milan service located in the village and the famous resort town of Varenna with its frequent car and passenger ferry service being within easy reach on foot in just 5 minutes.

The famous golden triangle town of Varenna is famous for being the ‘Porto Fino’ of Lake Como, and boasts a romantic charm and fascinating heritage, with cafe and shop lined cobbled streets leading to timeless churches, piazzas, the famous lake front Villa Monastero gardens and the medieval Castello di Vezio which is situated in mystical woodland above the town.

Excellent View in a quiet town

We enjoyed the wonderful view, quiet atmosphere and spacious rooms. Having a light breakfast on the terrace each morning was the perfect way to start our days on the lake. The apartment was equipped with all the necessities but lacked creature comforts. (pillows, etc.) We had difficulty connecting to WIFI but received timely assistance with a phone call. The apartment was not particularly clean - the floor was a littler dirty and there were a few cobwebs. Although advertised as having a washing machine, it did not work as we learned after starting a load and some of our clothing getting locked into the machine. This issue was handled by a phone call and visit by maintenance while we were out for the day. The just under one mile walk to Varenna, along the lake side road is scenic but a bit dicey in spots as the road is narrow. There is a wonderful restaurant in Fiumelatte you pass on your walk into Varenna and is definitely worth a visit. Overall, we enjoyed our stay away from the crowds with access to all that Lake Como as to offer.

Inaccurate description of a poorly managed rental

This is not within 5 minutes walk of the ferry in Varenna. It is a 7 minute drive and then you have to find parking. The apartments wifi does not work, nor do its plugs in the kitchen. To use the microwave you would have had to put it on the floor to use another outlet. The cleanliness was not great with hair on the bedding etc. the pillows were stained. The “private” patio does not have a rail on the main side and so can be accessed by anyone. We have stayed in the city in Rome and heard less street noise. It was continuous and with a broken air conditioner and fan we would have liked to sleep with the windows open which was made impossible by the noise. There is a beautiful view of the lake and it could be a nice place with better management. I did contact the property managers and their response was that they would update the listing. I hope they do.

Beautiful View, WiFi Issues

We had a beautiful view and the place was very clean. Although there were positives, we had major issues with wifi. We called the number listed on the front door along with the other two numbers listed. We called the main number about 3-4 times and they were barely any help. The wifi name/password listed was not appearing on our phones even though the wifi box was working. We realized the wifi box was the wrong box listed for the place. This caused many issues for calls/texts and reaching out for transportation around the area. Very unhelpful until multiple complaints were made and a tenant came to resolve the issues. Management needs to be more helpful and consistent with issues such as this.
