The location of this Varenna apartment can’t be beat as it is just a 5 minute downhill walk from the train station and immediately across from the ferry. It is the perfect home base for exploring Lake Como. There is a small grocery (La Bottega di Varenna) just a 10 min walk away for provisions, but they did not have Lavazza coffee pods for the machine in the kitchen. The apartment is very clean and well appointed, though the coverings on the couches and kitchen table feel a little over the top. The owner’s communication was clear and easy to follow. The outdoor spaces are lovely, though the rain limited my own use of them beyond admiring the stunning views! The cafe downstairs is a great addition if you want a coffee, aperitif or simple meal and don’t want to venture far. The only downside of this neighbor is the noise off the back bedroom from their bathroom and closing / opening operations. If you like to go to bed early or sleep late and are a light sleeper, you might struggle. Overall, I highly recommend as the location, cleanliness and overall experience are worth it.
