Amazing location! The skylights had magical views. Very near everything you could want in Varenna. The washing machine was also extremely helpful for us as we were on an extended trip around Italy.
Perfect location in a beautiful town. Easily accessible apartment which was spacious and clean. Lovely view of the lake. Best place we've stayed on our holiday.

We had a great stay at the appartement. The location is just perfect, with fabulous views from every window. Varenna is beautiful and we had a wonderful stay with our family. The appartement is spacious, beds are good and the kitchen is fully equiped for who wants to eat in ☺️ Parking is not very easy in the neighborhood though.

Perfect location - wish it was not such a hot time of year without air conditioning but we made due - thank you
We’re a family of 3. The place was perfect for our 3 day stay. Nice lake view from the living room. Centrally located and easy walk from the train station. The place was spotless and everything looked new. We even had a nice gift box with snacks and wine upon our arrival. We would definitely stay there again.
We had a great stay at this property. We had plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 adult children. Two of the adults only had one towel instead of two like the other adults and the amount of body wash/shampoo was not enough. We were not able to use the coffee maker with ground coffee. The apartment did have laundry soap.

Dear guest,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted you had a great stay and that the apartment comfortably accommodated your group. We apologize for the shortage of towels, body wash, and shampoo, as well as the inconvenience with the coffee maker. We appreciate your comments and will use them to improve the experience for future guests.
Warm regards,

This is a beautiful spacious apartment, well located in scenic Varenna. We loved the views of the lake, and being able to walk to restaurants along the lake.3 star location rating - Varenna is beautiful BUT the ferries were insanely busy from Varenna. We queued for an hour plus and it was chaotic (end of May). Not ideal with young children and it is something to consider as there may be easier towns with regards to getting ferries around Lake Como.Walk up to the castle above Varenna is great and the views of the lake from the castle are fantastic.

Property was lovely. Great views. Only problem was the hot water or lack of. Only one person was able to shower in the am. Shower had to be military and less than ten minutes before water turned freezing

Overall, this is a rundown property in need of significant updating. Several things were broken, including the bin, blind, and front door knob. The host was also quite stingy with supplies — we were given only two flimsy toilet rolls for three people staying three nights and told to provide our own. Basic amenities such as tea bags and coffee were also lacking.
We had issues with the pin code upon arrival and were unable to reach anyone for assistance, making the provided contact numbers pointless. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this property.
This location was good and we enjoyed our stay. The only drawback was that they promote concierge service but the response is slow. They also only provide toilet paper for the first night of your stay. So if you run out, you are expected to purchase more. As a foreign traveler this is an inconvenience.

This property is very well located. It’s within walking distance to many attractions, and good restaurants nearby.
The apartment is big, with two bedrooms upstairs, and a beautiful view from the living room!
We were greeted with a welcoming package that even included wine. So nice!
Their customer service was very professional and helpful.
Just a few notes to future guests, the ceilings on the bedrooms are partially low. There is no air conditioning, but they have fans in every room and you can open the windows. They also have a washing machine, which was very convenient for me, but be advised that you will have to hang your clothes to dry.
I had a great time, and would definitely stay here again.
We really enjoyed our stay! The location is fantastic, and the apartment was very clean, and as described. We were 4 adults, and we had no issues with water temp/pressure as described in an earlier review. We walked from the train station with lots of luggage, and had a bit of a struggle. Use the post office in GPS to make it easier. Only one set of keys and you need a key to get in AND out of the front door. This created limitations when we wanted to split up.
Our apartment was spacious and clean. The location was close to all activities and restaurants in Varenna. A welcome basket awaited us as we arrived - such an unexpected and generous touch! Would happily stay here again!

Uns hat der Aufenthalt in der Villa al Prato sehr gut gefallen!
Neben der perfekten Lage des Appartments und der sehr geschmacklich abgestimmten Einrichtung ist auch die gute Küchenausstattung (Espresso-Maschine, scharfe Messer etc.) zu erwähnen. Auch ihr Service war sehr gut: Unsere Bitte nach einem zweiten Haustürschlüssel wurde umgehend erfüllt. Wie bereits erwähnt gehabt ließ sich die Appartmenttür nicht richtig schließen - dies lässt sich aber sicherlich durch die Hautechnik schnell beheben.
Also wir können nur Gutes berichten und hatten klasse 14 Tage am Comer See !

We stayed at this villa for 4 nights it could easily have been 4 weeks or longer. Beautifully appointed, spacious and comfortable. The location up in the Mountains breathtaking, so central to many large cities, fabulous local cuisine and all topped off by our travel assistants Winnifred and David from Cherry Tree B&B in Polinago. Their local knowledge opened up this region of Italy for us that no other travel guide or map could ever do. I plan to go back, see so many places I missed and complete another cooking class with Rina and Daniella. Fabulous!!

The rooms were very clean and easy to get to with my frail mother. The building seems very new and the rooms all have lake views. It was also nice having a washing machine and a place to cook a light breakfast. My family loved the place and loved Varenna. I'd go back most definitely! Thank you for the lovely accommodation!
