Varese Station holiday rentals

We are a couple in our 60’s and this accomodation was perfect. Our initial concern regarding the walk up from the town was unfounded. The views, space and facilities of the apartment were great. Our host, Giuliano was exceptional. I’d recommended staying here just to have him as your host!

Great location, comfortable apartment, lots of thoughtful details with everything we needed

Well!! What an unbelievable property to stay in. Couldn’t fault anything. Kitchen well stocked with everything needed to make a meal. Plenty of towels/tea towels. Lovely fresh bed linen. Spotless bathroom. Convenient laundry to catch up on washing. Only downside to our stay was the rain! It kept us indoors for two days but we were definitely in the right place, it was beautiful. Would stay there again in better weather.

I would recommend this apartment to our family and friends without any hesitation. This apartment in Como was perfect in everyway except one. The apartment is not airconditioned. Putting aside the lack of airconditioning, we could not have been happier. The host, Veronica, was generous with her time and knowledge of Como. She met us at the train station and walked us to the apartment - which was very close to the train station. Not that you could hear the trains going to and from the station from the apartment. The apartment is a two level apartment was located on the first floor in a very clean, tidy secured apartment complex. The apartment was perfect for up to 6 people with every modern convenience you could wish for including a washing machine. The beds in the apartment were all very comfortable. We were in Como in mid July 2023 and it got a bit hot some days. Whilst it would have been nice to have returned to an airconditioned apartment, we found that the apartment was able to be cooled enough with open windows and fans. We will return to Como again soon and will definitely stay in this apartment if it is available. Thank you to Veronica. You were an amazing host.

Carate Urio is a quieter location on Lake Como. The ferry is approx one kilometre away, the bus stops outside the door. If you choose to have a quiet day in the local neighbourhood, turn left and walk the one kilometre to the butcher shop/cafe. You’ll need to pass George’s place. Or turn right 400m to a bar/cafe, a grocery store and a good restaurant. But no need to travel that far - right next door is a great restaurant/pizza place. We throughly enjoyed our two week stay. The views from the apartment are truly amazing.

We had a great time at Casa Margherita 2 in Como. It is a nice stroll to the centre of the city. Set in lovely gardens and surroundings, it felt very calming and was wonderful to hear the birds singing. It was ideal to be able to sit in the garden and enjoy a glass of complimentary wine. Thank you! Gigliola was very kind and helpful, explaining things well. She suggested restaurants and nearby supermarkets etc and kindly organised transport for us to Milan when we left. Many thanks Gigliola and Adriano! We hope to return.
