We had a great time in Varenna, and really enjoyed the apartment. The view was just stunning.
Marilena was very helpful, she met us in the centre of Varenna and gave an introduction to where everything was and gave some suggestions for the best places to eat. We then drove to the apartment and she explained how everything worked. The apartment was well equipped and the Wi-Fi was good.
The drive/walk in to Varenna is about 3km, you can go either via the coast road, or there is a walking trail that runs higher up and gives some nice views of the lake and mountains. Access to the garage in the centre of Varenna was such a bonus, thanks Marilena.
There is a restaurant (Ristorante Crotto di Pino) a few minutes walk from the apartment where we had some excellent food and nice views, so good we ate there twice during our week.
We loved Varenna, the town is very pretty, and it is easy to get the ferry from there for to Bellagio and Mennagio across the lake.
Highly recommended.
