Downstairs is a spacious living room with 2 sofas, a kitchen, dining area with table and a balcony. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a washer.The problems came because of management. We rented the apartment for 12 days. Within the first day, we notified management of 3 issues; 1)The bathroom light was out (the 1st night, we took our phones in for light- after that we took in a small table lamp) 2) the top shelf of the dishwasher was off the rail-- couldn't even close it, so dishwasher was unavailable 3) the stair light was also out.Not only were these not repaired while we were there, but management never even responded. So, over time, the rating went from 5 stars to 4 to 3. ##### Kenneth C. Stayed 11 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Marlene D. May 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location The location was excellent and while it was not a lake front view, we could see the lake by looking out certain windows. The villa was clean and comfortable but as others mentioned the amenities were severely lacking. There was no dish soap and only a dirty cloth to wipe counters which I threw away. We bought more tp as there was not enough for the days we were there. I would suggest installing a few hooks for towels and a shelf to place things on in the bathroom. We felt secure staying there. One thing we did not know until we checked out is that the gate can be opened from inside the complex. That would have made it easier for our two couples staying there. Directions and photos sent to locate the villa and gain access were very helpful. ##### Marlene D. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa B.

There is one spot where you can look out of opposite windows and see the lake from both ❤️. Wonderfully comfortable setup with the balcony, kitchen and living room downstairs, and 2 bedrooms upstairs. There is a lockbox and security gate, for entry, and a 3 floor climb. Located just 100 ft from the town center, everything in town is within walking distance. Wonderful location, wonderful apartment and beautiful views. Whether there for family or vacation, this is an ideal alternative to a hotel, if you would like the added privacy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return for another. ##### Z H.

Nice stairwell ,floors, quality built building. There was No soap for dishwasher no paper towels and bare minimum kitchen supplies. There was a heat wave in lake Como and the two upstairs bedrooms were uninhabitable due to the temperature. The host provided fans but they were insufficient. I do not recommend this place if the temperature in Como is over 27° during the day. Spring fall winter would stay here again. ##### Bryan E.

Place itself was great and as described (except for the bathroom) but not easy to find with directions given (stay left/on higher road, do not go down to the waterfront or you will be wheeling luggage over cobblestones and lugging up killer stone steps!!!) we wandered for an hour unable to get in touch with the office & GPS fail until a kind local helped us. It is off a very cute piazza with an old church and restaurants. Inside the shower door is flimsy and leaks, as did the sink at its base-we notified office, also asked for extra towels since we used ours to mop up but got no response. Towel rack was broken and no hooks to hang towels. Water pressure was great though. Blow dryer was broken and only worked in one outlet in the kitchen. Beds are soft. Could use better communication with the property manager--however we contacted we were told to contact the local team and no one ever responded. ##### the Pignataro F.

Helaas zijn de slaapkamers op zolder en was het warm; er is geen airconditioning en dat mis je echt als het 36 gr C is. Ook is het inchecken erg onpersoonlijk; de beschrijving foto’s zijn duidelijk, maar t komt erg onpersoonlijk over. Ook kan je niet met auto voor de deur komen en is er geen lift; dus beter niet een zware koffer meenemen. Het huis ligt wel perfect centraal met een leuk restaurant eronder (prato).

Jun 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Varenna is beautiful The property met our expectations. It was convenient to do all the things we wanted. Beds were comfortable, plenty of fans to keep us cool in hot weather, nice appliances and lovely view from tiny balcony. Where our discontent with this property was as follows. When we arrived there was no key in the lockbox as stated by our email. We had travelled over six hours to get there and were very tired. I called the office and was told we could go to their office to get the key which was on the other side of the lake which meant we would have to take a ferry there, find the office and return to Varenna. This was not an option for us and requested it was there responsibility to have key in place. With phone calls back and forth, to sum it up we spent over two hours sitting in hallway with our luggage waiting to get into apartment. The person who finally show up was very nice and said it was his day off and he came from another town. He said cleaning people probably took the key. When I emailed them the next day saying how disappointed we were with their help they said they would give 10% off next visit. I am 76 and was on a trip with my grandchildren. I would not be returning to use the 10% and felt they could have been more caring. Secondly, the directions from train arrival were nil. We had to keep asking people as we entered the town for directions. The picture directions once we found post office were good. Varenna is a beautiful little place and offers many things to do. Food is good, Ferry rides to other towns lovely and flowers were beautiful as well as restaurant clerks and those in the stores. ##### Theresa G.

Check in was total crap. Spent an hour trying to find the place which was not even close, after traveling all day. Apparently we were supposed to have the 10 page instructions with pictures to find it, which was in the flat. After expressing my feelings to concierge, could not get them to answer ##### Matt H.

Beautiful property, a complementary welcome pack with wine, milk and snacks is waiting for you when you arrived. exactly as stated except the views were much more spectacular than the ones in the listing photos. Varenna is a fun base to use as many ferries and train to go to Milan or Lugano. The appartment is around the corner of good cafés and restaurants and train station. ##### Mildred R.

Quiet. Comfy beds in the upstairs bedrooms. Easy self check-in, great communications with the host. Apartment was a two minute walk to the waterfront. Varenna is very small, and everything is within walking distance, including the water ferries to explore other towns on the lake. Bellagio is only a 15 minute boat ride away. We think we chose the ideal location for our Lake Como trip. Thank you! ##### Patti M. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Gerda K.

Nachdem es aufgrund eines Sturmes einen Wasserschaden gab, kam von der Agentur sehr schnell Hilfe und der Schaden wurde auch nachhaltig beseitigt. Ausstattungsmäßig könnte das Geschirr noch etwas aufgestockt werden (kleine Schüsselchen, Gläser). Für alle die mit dem Auto anreisen, wird das Parkplatzproblem zur täglichen Herausforderung, v.a. Finanziell!!!! Last Not least - Varenna ist ein wunderschöner Ort, indem man das Dolce Vita wirklich genießen kann!!! ##### Gerda K. ## 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) > > [Villa Manning Relais](https://www.expedia.ca/Sorrento-Hotels-Villa-Manning-Relais.h21971579.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)
