Beautiful and cozy lakeside apartment
Perfect location in Varenna with private garden terrace and access to the lake for swimming. Centrally located and walkable to everything - food, ferry, shops, main square. Also includes one parking space, convenient if traveling through Italy by car.
The apartment is cozy with a small efficiency kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. It has all the basics for a comfortable stay. If you’re looking for luxury, this isn’t the apartment for you - but it’s worth living more simply for the perfect location and private garden/lake access.
The hosts are friendly and helpful. Make sure to arrive before 6 p.m. as the property has a private gate and door access, and needs an orientation. This arrival information is not in the property description. The hosts met us in the square to guide us down a little alley to the gate. Shared helpful information and a bottle of wine. :)
For your stay, you’ll need to be mindful of having the keys to enter / exit the gate, because access requires the key for both entry and exit. On your last day, make sure the gate is open before you leave the keys behind in the apartment and close the front door. It automatically locks and the button to open the gate is inside the foyer.
That’s it! We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
Grazie mille, Giorgio e Alberto
