Luxury penthouse apartment (ID 101) located in the village of Fiumelatte, just 1km from the beautiful town of Varenna on the Eastern shore of Lake Como. The apartment offers top quality fixtures and fittings throughout and also boasts gorgeous panoramic views of the lake including the 'Golden Triangle' (Bellagio, Menaggio and Varenna).
There are quite a few steps up this newly renovated building which leads to the apartment. Open up the front door of this top floor penthouse however and you will be overwhelmed by the wide and stunning view of the lake with the town of Bellagio perfectly framed in the front windows! The penthouse includes a garage which is around 150 meters from the property.
The inside of the apartment is stylishly furnished and everything has been designed to maximise your enjoyment. The terrace is just the most wonderful place to enjoy the exclusive lake views and is also large enough to dine 'alfresco' and relax with a glass of Italian wine, with a large dining area and an additional lakefront eating area.
All rooms have flat screen HD TVs with SKY and DVD for your entertainment with the living room boasting a new 50” LCD TV with 180? swivel and tilt arm and a Blu Ray player with a collection of Blu Ray movies and Yamaha surround sound system with wall mounted speakers. There is a 32” HD TV to the front lake view double bedroom with Blu Ray player and a Blu Ray movie collection and a full HD TV to the back double bedroom. Both bedrooms have been beautifully furnished with a king-size bed and iPod player/alarm system. There is also a very stylish bathroom with a shower, bidet and WC. The apartment is fully air-conditioned and WIFI enabled with a comfortable double sofa bed to the lounge for additional guests and a fire and gas alarm with automatic gas turn off.
Varenna is home to Italy's shortest river, the Fiumelatte. Only 250 meters long, it rushes, frothy and milky-white (hence the name) down the rock face and crashes into the lake, from the end of March to the end of October each year. And then it stops - just like that. Leonardo da Vinci climbed down to find out where the water came from. But neither he, nor anyone else, has ever been able to work it out.
Varenna is one of the most picturesque towns on the lake, with its steep winding alleys lined with charming homes, flowering balconies and lace-curtained windows. Just above it is the ancient castle where Theodolinda, Queen of the Lombard’s is said to have died in the 7th century. Two famed villas to visit here are Villa Cipressi, with terraced gardens cascading right down to the shores, and Villa Monastero, a true showcase for botanical gardens.
Skiing in the area is bountiful; resorts such as Madesimo, only 1.15hr north of Colico and the local ski resort of Piani di Bobbio, only 40 minutes away.

Just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for our stay at the Primo Del Lago. We forgot to leave our comments in the guest book, and wanted to let you know that we found the apartment to be very comfortable, well equipped for our needs and with a fabulous view of the lake. This was our second visit to Varenna/Fuimellate and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there again. We look forward to using your services again some time in the future.Did you find this review helpful?

We had a wonderful time and have many lovely memories to cherish in celebration of our 30th wedding anniversary. Primo del Lago was a beautiful apartment and the views were exactly as we had hoped - we even managed to take a pretty good copy of the web image with a wine bottle and glass against the backdrop of the lake! On the one occasion we needed to contact anyone (Brian early on the Sunday morning) it was nice to be able to talk to a person and not just an answering machine. We had an issue with the toilet which became blocked twice but you were very helpful and managed to sort this out quickly. In terms of favourite places it is difficult to choose but certainly Bellagio stood out as a very smart, chic place to shop and to just sit and watch the world go by but we also fell in love with Varenna with its cosy harbour, quaint streets and lovely restaurants. The restaurant we were most fond of however was in Fiumelatte - Hosteria del Platano - where we ate on our first and last night. The menu is quite simple but the food is beautifully cooked and presented and combined with the view of the sun setting over the lake, it was wonderful. Special mention should also go to AC Boat hire in Menaggio. We enjoyed a fantastic couple of hours on the lake in one of their beautiful boats - it was immaculately clean and well equipped (and fast!) and we did manage to pay by credit card although I think it is normally cash only. The whole holiday experience was pleasurable and we cannot fault any of it and we would definitely come back to, and recommend, Happy Holiday Homes.Did you find this review helpful?

We enjoyed our stay in the Lake Como region at at Primo Del Lago. The staff at Holiday Homes at first was very informative and answered all of our questions. We booked our "briefing" per their request prior to departure however once we got there, we were told there was no briefing in the "off season". We had to figure out the apartment on our own which was no trouble. We reneted a car so the parking could have been issue. Since we were in the off season, the public parking out front was always available. This is good because we still are unclear of where the parking garage was for the apartment. Now, from public parking, you have a short walk up the hill to the apartment door, once in the building, you have 4 flights up the european stairs (55 total) to get to the apartment. Once you are there, the space is perfect for 2-4 adults and the view is incredible. I struggled with the wi-fi but this was corrected by the manager of the unit within a day. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom was very nice and the kitchen was well appointed. After a long day of sightseeing and being the typical tourist, the balcony was a welcome site to sit, have a bottle of wine and simply enjoy the view and all that Lake Como has to offer.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

We spent 4 nights at Primo Del Lago in April 2012 and were delighted with the apartment. It is very well equipped with widescreen TVs in each bedroom and in the Living Area. The kitchen has a wide range of cooking implements and the bathroom is very adequate. The views from the superbly placed windows were simply stunning and even though it was overcast for some of our days the views changed with the nature of the weather, from bright and snow capped to cloudy and moody looking - all very impressive. We were delighted with the bottle of champagne on arrival and to have the owner Brad visit us on our first morning was special and he was so helpful that he made our stay even more special. It is a delightful apartment and we would recommend it highly.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We enjoyed our stay at Primo del Lago as well as Gaeta Sogno Infinito. Staff was very helpful, esp. the emails on directions to both properties which made them very easy to find (except we did not know whether to drive north or south from Menaggio to reach Sogno Infinito at first, so that could be spelled out a little better in the directions. Overall, we are very happy with our experience with Happy Holiday Homes and hopefully will use you again in the future!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We are ensconced in Primo de Lago and it's a great apartment. Furnished throughout with everything we need. We are extremely comfortable. Your company and staff get top marks except for the big glitch in the wrong combination to access the apartment. I'm sure that future guests will be notified of the change. We're loving the lakes and surrounding area. Ciao for now Anne, UKDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
