Unfortunately the property was really outdated and dirty. The sofa had loads of stains on it and was filthy…we had to put a bed sheet over it to sit down. The bed frame was just as dirty. The toilet looked like it hadn’t seen bleach at all and the bottom of the toilet was black. The toilet seat was also yellow from wee stains. We had no hot water for 24 hours…the good thing was when I spoke to customer service they sent someone out to fix it pretty quick. Overall the property needs some work, the view is unbelievable but i wouldn’t return due to how dirty it was. Update your property…it needs some love. ##### Bradley Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dana B.

For the price would’ve expected things like wifi access to be detailed in the apartment (we had to ring the hosts to get the password) and some basic cooking supplies for the very well equipped kitchen like salt, pepper, olive oil. Really enjoyed our stay and the views from Apartment 7. ##### Sarah C. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### J.M.

The views from the apartment were outstanding. We would certainly stay there again on our next visit to Lake Como and would recommend the apartment to our friends. We enjoyed taking the boats around the lake to the various towns and enjoyed visiting Villa Monastero, Villa Carlotta, Villa Balbianello, Villa Serbelloni Park and Villa Melzi, etc., etc. We enjoyed eating our dinners in Varenna down at the lake's edge. We had a little difficulty finding the apartment but that was because we had trouble finding Varenna. Your staff at Vista D'Oro Ulivo were extremely helpful. Thanks for making our first trip to Lake Como so memorable and enjoyable. Ciao!!!!! ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 20, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice apartment in the hills above Varenna A spacious apartment with stunning views over Varenna and Lake Como. Well appointed and stocked with cutlery, utensils and so on , and the welcome pack was a nice touch. The apartment is a little bit showing some wear and tear with a few cracked tiles. The shower sometimes struggled to get warm and the drain needed a good clean. Main issue we had was with parking. The apartment is listed as having parking which was a must for us S we were on a multi week tour using a rental car. On receiving the pre checkin info it is disclosed that the parking is first come first serve, and not guaranteed. In several occasions returning to the apartment the parking was full, and we had to park on the narrow road leading to the complex, and this area was also often full. On a couple of occasions we luckily obtained the last spot but saw other guests in the complex unable to park due to unavailability of space. With no other parking available near to the complex this could have been an issue. The pool area was slightly disappointing, it was at the back of the complex and most of the view is of the apartments, rather than the lake. Maintenance was also a little lacking as the pool shower had a wasp nest in the drain, so clearly hadn’t been used for some time. Overall a nice apartment with a great view and well located for Varenna, but the lack of guaranteed parking was disappointing. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James S.

It was just what we needed after a busy first week touring Milan, Venice & Bardi. My partner has already written a review on trip advisor and below is what he has written, we would appreciate it being kept as anonymous or just use our first names. We gave the apartment 5\*. “What a fantastic apartment! The directions to the property along with accessing the keys was very thorough and no wrong turns were taken!. We arrived to a welcome surprise of a bottle of wine. Opening the shutters to the view across the lake was stunning. We had a wonderful 6 days just relaxing with stunning tranquil views and wish we didn’t have to leave. The complex had a nice clean pool with plenty of sun loungers. The apartment was nicely decorated and spotless. The apartment is a bit of a trek from Varena so a car is needed, with a supermarket 10minutes away in Bellano. It was idyllic eating a lovely meal with a glass of wine on the balcony. We really could of stayed longer! We would recommend this place without hesitation and would gladly go back in a heart beat.” Many thanks again for a fantastic service!!

The apartment was lovely and the view from the balcony is out of this world! The whole Lake Como area is beautiful. A big thank you to Viviana who helped me book a wonderful evening out: a water taxi with aperitifs and lovely dinner at Alla Darsena di Loppia. The places we most enjoyed visiting were: - Orrido di Bellano. We were surprised that it is not mentioned more in the guidebooks - Villa Monastero - Villa Balbianello - Bellagio - Abbaza di Piona We look forward to visiting the area again in the future.

The apartment was fantastic and very well equipped. My only comment would be that the lack of air conditioning was disappointing as the nights were hot but otherwise we were delighted with it. I was also very impressed with the level of service from the whole team at happy holidays and how responsive everyone was in relation to all my questions - all in all I would rate the service excellent. In relation to Como, there were so many fab restaurants - we loved Varenna Cafe for casual coffees and people watching, My favourite restaurant was Il Cavatappi - simple restaurant, simple food but excellently executed. The setting of Ristorante La Vista is also spectacular - fab menu although we were slightly disappointed with some of the food but it could have been just bad choices, we also loved Osteria Quatro Pass (esp for seafood) and Borgovino. We were a little disappointed with the food at Ristorante Vecchia Varenna - very good food but portion size was tiny. Bar Il Molo is lovely by the lake for an after dinner drink at night and some nights they have live music. We hired a boat which is expensive but a real highlight. We did a local cookery course which was enjoyable but we were disappointed not to be involved in the cooking - sitting inside a dark restaurant for 6 hours on a beautiful day was not ideal but the food was excellent and our host was a lovely man. Belaggio we lovely - Menaggio less so. All in all we loved the area and we will be back.

Well done! • This was our first time at the Lake Como area, and it is indisputable that the whole area is very beautiful and offer many different types of experiences for guests, who like to explore the area on foot, on bikes, driving by car or by boat. You just have to make your choice. • Varenna is a very charming and romantic village, not too big and not too many tourists (e.g. compared to Bellagio). We had very good experiences in Ristorante Quatro Pass in Ristorante La Vista and in Ristorante Hotel du Lac – Varenna. And Varenna Caffè is very special. The Villa Monastero park is fantastic. We found the local Italian people very helpful and enthusiastic in whatever job they had to perform in (ferry boats, restaurants, shops etc.). • Off course we did visit Bellagio, Menaggio and Bellano as well, which is feeling very relaxing along the promenade and the very local atmosphere in the narrow shopping street. A visit in the Gorge of “Orrido” in Bellano is also interesting. • We also took the “big tour” to Como, which is also worth watching even if 2½ hours of sailing each way may be too many hours for some guests in order to walk around in the city of Como for less than 2 hours. But there are off course different options for that tour. • About the photos I have off course more than 800 photos and I will be please to send you some few, if I found them attractive for your marketing efforts. Vista d\`Oro Ulivo / apt. 7 • This apartment meet our expectations and came up to HHH description on http://www.lakecomohomes.com/ • It is quite easy to find Vista d\`Oro, however, it would be great, if there is a sign close to the road showing exactly where to go in and park for Ulivo, Palma and Orleandro too (?). We had to walk around a little, and other guests did the same in order to find the “entrance”. • The key system is brilliant. • In general the apartment standard is high and very spacious. Especially very well equipped in the kitchen (which is not quite normal in Tuscany, I can say). Perfect with dishwasher and washing machine. Also the furniture are good, however, some 2 smaller easy chair may be a good idea, especially if 4 people will stay. It will also make the apartment a little more comfortable / cozy, as it seems a little sterile. IKEA is a fantastic concept, but also limited in a way. • It was brilliant with the Bose docking system for IPOD and all the other Radio and TV equipment as well. • In the bedroom, it was perfect with a lot of hangers in the closet. The bed is ok too. However the bed cover is not useable during the night, if the temperature goes down a little. It is very synthetic and too hot to use (maybe it is not to use, but only for cover?). If the temperature goes down a little during the night, it is not sufficiently only to use a sheet. It would be nice to have a light blanket for the “colder” nights. • The terrace is unique – off course. Not so deep, which set a limitation for the size of the table and the chairs, understandable.

The apartment was fantastic and very well equipped. My only comment would be that the lack of air conditioning was disappointing as the nights were hot but otherwise we were delighted with it. I was also very impressed with the level of service from the whole team at happy holidays and how responsive everyone was in relation to all my questions - all in all I would rate the service excellent. In relation to Como, there were so many fab restaurants - we loved Varenna Cafe for casual coffees and people watching, My favourite restaurant was Il Cavatappi - simple restaurant, simple food but excellently executed. The setting of Ristorante La Vista is also spectacular - fab menu although we were slightly disappointed with some of the food but it could have been just bad choices, we also loved Osteria Quatro Pass (esp for seafood) and Borgovino. We were a little disappointed with the food at Ristorante Vecchia Varenna - very good food but portion size was tiny. Bar Il Molo is lovely by the lake for an after dinner drink at night and some nights they have live music. We hired a boat which is expensive but a real highlight. We did a local cookery course which was enjoyable but we were disappointed not to be involved in the cooking - sitting inside a dark restaurant for 6 hours on a beautiful day was not ideal but the food was excellent and our host was a lovely man. Belaggio we lovely - Menaggio less so. All in all we loved the area and we will be back.

Apartment 7 was perfect for our stay for my wife and I. It was nice that our building wasn’t that busy and so we had the pool to ourselves most days. Having milk and presecco waiting for us was a very nice touch and appreciated. Your directions and pictures were very helpful but you could consider actually giving gps coordinates for those of us that have garmin or gps on our cars. Having actual directions to the two grocery stores in Bellano would have been helpful – we found the Euro super but never did find the other one you refer to. We rented a powerboat from Denilo and when the weather turned into showers and potential thunderstorms we brought it back 2 hours early and it was no problem – the boat trip down the lake to Como and back was very enjoyable. The next day we visited Villa del Balbianello which was a highlight of the villas. The castle above Varenna was a small ruin but exceptional for photography. We really thoroughly enjoyed our time and your website and information package was informative and very helpful. We would certainly recommend your company and units to our friends. Actually, after my wife and I booked our unit , 4 of our friends ended up changing their holiday plans and booking the Marilena unit and joined us. I guess we should have said something and maybe got a bit of reduction on our unit – apparently they had a slightly reduced rate – not sure how that worked. Thank you for a great holiday. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Bellavista](https://www.expedia.ca/Menaggio-Hotels-Hotel-Bellavista.h3644157.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Fasano](https://www.expedia.ca/Gardone-Riviera-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Fasano.h2688657.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Le Fioriere](https://www.expedia.ca/Praiano-Hotels-Hotel-Le-Fioriere.h1897502.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Flori](https://www.expedia.ca/Como-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Flori.h7434.Hotel-Information) > > [Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-NH-Collection-Grand-Hotel-Convento-Di-Amalfi.h2885039.Hotel-Information) > > [Santa Caterina](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Santa-Caterina.h2541496.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Chalet Al Foss](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermiglio-Hotels-Hotel-Chalet-Al-Foss.h9810090.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Miramalfi](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Hotel-Miramalfi.h1130642.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mary](https://www.expedia.ca/Vico-Equense-Hotels-Hotel-Mary.h4947835.Hotel-Information) > > [Italiana Hotels Cosenza](https://www.expedia.ca/Cosenza-Hotels-Italiana-Hotels-Cosenza.h1187073.Hotel-Information) > > [Filario Hotel & Residences](https://www.expedia.ca/Lezzeno-Hotels-Filario-Hotel-Residences.h10633580.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Borgo Antico](https://www.expedia.ca/Como-Hotels-Hotel-Borgo-Antico.h6385877.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Cipressi - by R Collection Hotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Varenna-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Cipressi.h22199491.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Sicilia-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2032217.Hotel-Information) > > [Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda](https://www.expedia.ca/Gargnano-Hotels-Lefay-Resort-SPA-Lago-Di-Garda.h2239660.Hotel-Information) > > [Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, Amalfi Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Ravello-Hotels-Caruso.h1129096.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mojito](https://www.expedia.ca/Gravedona-Hotels-Hotel-Mojito.h35249977.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marina Riviera](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Hotel-Marina-Riviera.h1419029.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Sorrento Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Sorrento-Hotels-Hilton-Sorrento-Palace.h791135.Hotel-Information) > > [UNA Hotels Capotaormina](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-UNAHOTELS-Capotaormina.h22100.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Imperiale & Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Moltrasio-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Imperiale-Resort.h34138.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Victoria Concept & Spa, by R Collection Hotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Menaggio-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Victoria-Concept-Spa.h44262769.Hotel-Information) > > [Verdura Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sciacca-Hotels-Verdura-Resort.h2512326.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Panoramic](https://www.expedia.ca/Maiori-Hotels-Residence-Hotel-Panoramic.h44539994.Hotel-Information) > > [Altafiumara Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Villa-San-Giovanni-Hotels-Altafiumara-Resort-Spa.h1366348.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Margherita](https://www.expedia.ca/Praiano-Hotels-Hotel-Margherita.h915378.Hotel-Information) > > [Cristina Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/SantAgnello-Hotels-Cristina-Hotel.h16729.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Excelsior Amalfi](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Excelsior-Amalfi.h1105705.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel San Giorgio](https://www.expedia.ca/Civitavecchia-Hotels-Hotel-San-Giorgio.h1709306.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Lake Como](https://www.expedia.ca/Como-Hotels-Hilton-Lake-Como.h17246644.Hotel-Information)
