Positives:Amazing views over the lake.Has everything that you needSpaciousParking availableMassimo was an extremely attentive host. Great!Negatives:Nothing major, just some minor things that would have made the stay slightly nicer...No towels provided (though it says that they should be)Bathroom is large but shower is smallOnly very small wine glasses available.The walk to Varenna is well covered by other reviews
The apartment was spacious, even with the extra bed they kindly put up for us so that our son could visit. Don't under estimate the steepness of the climb to the apartment! We walked up in the rain from the train station with luggage. The short cut paths will save you some time but the cobbles are very slippy when wet. However the view from the balcony when the rain cleared made it worthwhile, it must be the best view we have ever had from a holiday home!Our only issue was the bed, it was creaky and not comfortable at all for us. A new bed and bedding would give the apartment 5 stars.
Spacious top floor apartment with beautiful view from the balcony overlooking Lake Como! We had a car and it was a fun drive up the mountain and close enough to the auto ferry to visit Bellagio or Menaggio.
The view was incredible. Our only issue was the lack of internet and Tv for 3 nights. I would have hoped our repeated requests for assistance to correct the issue would have been met.
Utterly amazing view and quite spacious unit. Quiet as well. Beds were a bit hard for us soft Americans and its a steep 15-20 min hike up/down to the unit from the train station. Nice little hike though.
Great view and lots of space. Very good parking. Large bedroom with a very small bed! Please put in a queen sized bed and at least change the mattress.Large bathroom with a very small shower. You have lots of room, please expand the shower.Guidance of distance to various attractions: train station 9 minutes, only if you are an Olympic athlete. 15 minutes down, 25 minutes up. We timed it twice
The view from the apartment was stunning, the most beautiful view of the lake. The apartment is clean and has a modern twist but still has that Italian feel to it. The only tiny downside is the hike up to the apartment from the bottom, however it is still only a 15 minute walk from the Varenna train station and trust me when I say the view makes the trek worth it! Just make sure you use the short cut paths! You can also get a taxi which takes 5 minutes from the train station and around €15. It’s close to the ferry docks too. The owners provide well information for your arrival and check in. Would 100% recommend and would love to visit again!
This property really does look like the pictures. The view is absolutely breathtaking and the host was very accommodating and regularly checked on us over messages to see if we were having a good time. The area is wonderful! The biggest “hurdle” so to speak was not the host’s fault, but just be mindful that the apartment is very high up the mountain in relation to Varenna. It is a very steep walk for about 20 minutes to get to the apartment from Varenna. The walk into Varenna is all downhill. The taxi is worth it if you are carrying bags to/from the train station, although the taxi suggested by the host was not able to accommodate the times we needed it for so we did some research and found another service. Uber is a thing, but plan on spending lots of money for it and planning it in advance. If you have a car however, this might be more doable although parking can also be difficult to find if you plan on using a car to get into Varenna. Again however, the views of the apartment make any inconvenience worth it. Overall we would definitely recommend!

About the host

The television is not connected to either an aerial or satellite dish but is connected to a DVD player. We feel the outdoor attractions and views are far superior to the television schedule and offers a perfect way to relax by stepping away from electronic devices for a short while and really enjoy the magic of the surrounding environment instead.
We are more than happy to help if/when necessary and will provide a contact number after confirmation of a booking.
