The place is as pictured and we loved it very much. Great views and great Patio. Bathrooms and kitchens were all full updated. Host was extremely accommodating.
It was the perfect stay, after driving around Switzerland for several weeks, this apartment offered everything that you just dont get staying in town (Varenna), with onsite parking in a large garage, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, full kitchen and sunroom. The terrace was my favorite feature. With views straight across the lake to Bellagio, Menaggio and Varenna. We stayed 4 nights and loved our time here.
The apartment was amazing! AC worked well and the host Marco was wonderful. Plenty of room for 3 of us and the patio was great to lounge on and look at the beautiful lake and mountains. It is on a busy road so you can’t walk to town. Taxis are really expensive ( I don’t recommend using Donicar, he charged us 30 to go to town 2 km away), rent a car if you can there is a parking garage in Varenna.The little beach was the highlight of our stay. We went swimming every day and the water was so clean and refreshing!Thanks Marco for a lovely stay!
Marco was a great host and very accommodating. The apartment was cleanly and had a beautiful view of the lake. I would strongly recommend staying here!
Marco and his wife are fabulous hosts! We were greeted warmly and with chilled presence and homemade bread. It is a short distance to Varenna and you can walk the greenway into town. The apartment was great with a fabulous sunroom and outdoor patio overlooking Lake Como. We would definitely stay here again.
Our flight got delayed so we only made it for 1 of our 3 nights, but we made the most of it. Beautiful villa. Only complaint is little privacy. Owners live upstairs and are always right out and about. But they could not be kinder.
The view from the terrace is amazing! A wonderful and relaxing place to spend time on Lake Como. The location is very convenient to the ferry in Varenna. You can’t walk easily to Varenna but the drive is quick and parking was easy in the garage. If you are looking for beauty and relaxation, this is the perfect place.
This was one of the nicest properties we have ever stayed in. The view itself is worth every dollar. During our stay, we had a car and were able to explore the nearby towns. I would definitely recommend doing so, because multiple people were seen dragging their luggage throughout town while trying to get to their stays. You don’t want to be on the narrow roadside with your bags. Marco was the most hospitable host that we have encountered yet. This stay was for our wedding, and not only did he communicate with our wedding planner to help with the florist, make up artist, photographer and chef, but on the wedding day itself, he and his wife stopped by to drop of flowers. Overall, he helped make our wedding day all that we could have ever asked for and more. I 1000% recommend this place and hopefully will be returning soon
The House is Beautiful but the Hosts are the Best!
We loved our stay in this beautiful house. Marco and his wife are amazing hosts and so kind. The lake is beautiful and this property is so peaceful and quiet. We loved it!
For a change, the property was exactly as advertised. Plenty of room, clean , incredible views and charming hosts.
Hoping to return with friends.
Suggest renting a car as taxi service is a bit tough.
My family of four adults (two couples) found this apartment absolutely excellent. The apartment is as pictured and is very clean, modern, and creatively decorated. The view from the large enclosed area off the kitchen is exquisite. Waking to see snow on the mountain tops was a blessing. The patio was restful with lounge chairs and seating. There is a private beach which provided nice opportunity to appreciate Lake Como. The owners/management were exceptionally helpful and pleasant. Having arrived on Easter Sunday, the owners offered us a delicious cake, prosecco, and other treats to get us started on our four-day stay. Fiumelatte and Varenna could work toward extending the walkways, as the walk from the apartment to Varenna is a pleasant mile-and-a-half walk, but very close to traffic at times. Great to have a taxi service available. Marco Barili and Rita were great taxi drivers. Many nice Varenna restaurants, but we especially liked Hosteria del Platano in Fiumelatte. Thanks to the hosts of this beautiful apartment.
Wonderful accommodations with epic views of Lake Como. Location was excellent as well, close by to grocery store, restaurants, ferry access and hiking trails.
We stayed for 3 nights and wished it was a week. The apartment was as comfortable and the view as beautiful as advertised. We did not have a car But it was easy to get to and from the lovely town of Varenna by cab. Marco was a very gracious and helpful host I highly recommend this property.
We had the best of time. Stayed for a month. The owners Marco and Daniela could not have been nicer. The home is a dream. We took morning dips every morning in the lake and walked 2 miles into Varenna every morning for coffee (and back).
We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our 4 night stay at Marco's villa. The views from the apartment and patio looking over Lake Como are breathtaking. Apartment was very clean and well supplied. Marco was an excellent host. Treats and bottle of Prosecco gift from owner was greatly appreciated. We cannot say enough great things about this property !
Como are breathtaking
Our stay was lovely and the property is beautiful and the view is perfect! A little scary walking into town but very doable. We were very happy we chose this property
We loved Marco’s apartment!! We were in awe of the beautiful views from every room. The indoor/outdoor seating areas were perfect. The location was great. Some nights we walked to dinner and others we took a taxi. We loved staying here and would highly recommend it to anyone considering it.
