Beautiful view, excellent location in town - close to everything. Very poor communication with either the owner or the management company. Was unable to check in with the directions given by both email and VRBO app. When I called after walking around the block several times hauling suitcases up and down steep stairs I was told to read the email I was sent which contained incorrect information. Had to beg and plead to get the complete code to open the door. Also, all the furniture in the home is very uncomfortable cheap IKEA everything. Plastic chairs inside the home, lumpy sofa and mattresses on the floor for the beds. Would stay somewhere else next time.

The property is beautiful in a great location, but the couches had stains, one of the three fans did not work, there were ants all over the floors, tv lags, NO AIR CONDITIONING AT ALL!! The thermostat is a complete joke! This was the worst part of our trip as it was so hot outside it was even hard to sleep. Could not blow dry hair, coming in the room from outdoors activities was unbearable!

Great location and size. Great base for exploring Varenna and Lake Como. A few of the facilities were a bit tired or clunky and you need to being basics if you are self-catering (oil, salt, pepper etc.).

We loved our stay in Varenna! The host gave excellent directions on how to access the apartment. We brought a car and were able to park in the nearby public parking lot. Walking to the place involved a short steep downhill on cobblestones and several flights of stairs to the apartment, so that is good to know if you have physical limitations. But, we loved it and would go back!

Great location and property

We stayed for 5 nights and had a great time at this property. The space is really lovely. There is a cute little balcony with a view of the lake. The only negative is that there is no AC and there was a heat wave for two days…but it was managed with the fans ok. Would recommend again.

Great property with all the amenities & perfect location! Very clean & comfortable! Great welcoming package! To be forewarned, there is no full length mirrors, only one mirror above the bathroom sink. Other than that, it’s a perfect place to stay when you visit Varenna!

This apartment is in a fabulous location, though Varenna is small so everything is close by. The apartment is spare but has plenty of space and great light and views. Please be aware, the kitchen appliances didn't work other than the fridge.

September 2016 Hi there! We had a GREAT time. Thanks! The home was lovely, the location couldn't be better, and the price was very reasonable. The directions were clear, although adding in directions from the train station would be great, too. And providing the wireless password would be helpful as well. Elaine, UK

Location 10/10Apartment is 8/10. The space inside is great, However, while it was expected to not have air-conditioning, the plug-in fans were old (one of which has a broken stand). Cleaning fees are excessive despite seeing many webs/dead bugs. But they do not provide any napkins or paper towels, and only provided a couple of sample packets of soap. Our advice is prepare to bring a lot of domestic items.Host themselves (Lake Como Holiday) is 4/10: Keep in mind they are a company and won’t attend to your needs or address any questions. While they give you check-in instructions, you’ll have difficulty finding the apartment despite the Google Map points. It would’ve helped if they provided pictures of the outside gate and where to find the lockbox. When you have a problem, they’ll give you the same message to call the maintenance people if you have issues. When we did not have hot water on the first day, it took time to get a response from the host but eventually understood to call a maintenance person to fix it. However, one of the Lake Como Holiday employees was not empathetic. She thought we should’ve watched tutorial videos on how to fix this on our own instead of contacting the maintenance people, which was totally insensitive on her end despite she was informed that the water heater was turned off in a separate room outside our apartment. Another employee said it wasn’t their fault but a good host should double check everything (elect/water) before a guest checks in.

In my opinion, the best views of Varenna

Hidden gem in Varenna. This 2bdrm apartment is amazing and has incredible views. 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.

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.

Could have been 5 stars

This was instantly 5 stars. We loved the unit and the location is fantastic. 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.

Cute place off a lovely piazza but...

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 location is great. Right in the heart of town. The unit itself needs a little TLC. The lights in the very steep stairway and landing were burnt out. We had to use flashlights to navigate the steps. This is a safety hazard. We asked them to fix it on the first day. They said they would get to it "tomorrow". That was the answer everyday for our entire stay. It still wasn't fixed by the time we checked out. Various electrical outlets did not work particularly in the bathroom. The provided espresso machine did not have pods for use, which is fine. We could buy our own, but the style of pods are not available anywhere in town... so it was just a paperweight in the kitchen. The internet went our every day. Unusable for 80% of the stay. Wooden patio door was rotting and allowed heavy rain to enter the kitchen. Kitchen needs some very basic supplies, paper towels, dish soap, etc. This place has great potential but is run by a management company that just doesn't care. If I were the owner, I would replace them....

Dear guest, Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re sorry that parts of your stay didn’t meet expectations and that some issues went unresolved.We understand your frustration about the stairway lighting — safety is a priority, and we’re following up with our local team to prevent similar delays.Regarding the espresso machine, we’ll speak with the owner to find a better solution, as compatible pods were understandably hard to find.We’ve also noted the Wi-Fi, electrical issues, patio door condition, and missing kitchen basics — these have been escalated for review.Due to post-Covid hygiene protocols, we cannot provide opened or perishable items like oil, salt, or pepper, to ensure guest safety.Thanks again for your feedback — we hope to have the opportunity to host you again under better circumstances.Kind regards,Lake Como Holiday Team
