What an amazing property! Spotless and comfy with the most amazing view. It’s the first time for me that a property actually matched the pictures in the listing. You definitely need a car to get into Varenna as walking in the road is not a good idea. Varenna is such a lovely town with some great food. Parking at the property was easy and there is a pay garage right when you enter into the town of Varenna which we used each day. I will recommend this property to all of my friends and family. I would definitely come back and stay here again if we are in the area.
The view from the terrace is amazing! A wonderful and relaxing place to spend time on Lake Como. The location is very convenient to the ferry in Varenna. You can’t walk easily to Varenna but the drive is quick and parking was easy in the garage. If you are looking for beauty and relaxation, this is the perfect place.
The apartment is just as described and pictured. The views of the lake are beautiful, especially at sunset. The unit was clean and well maintained. The beds are very comfortable. We had 4 adults and one 8 yr old. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cookware. Marco was a great host and offered recommendations for eating and sightseeing. We could not have been more satisfied with the unit. We would recommend without hesitation.
The apartment was amazing! AC worked well and the host Marco was wonderful. Plenty of room for 3 of us and the patio was great to lounge on and look at the beautiful lake and mountains. It is on a busy road so you can’t walk to town. Taxis are really expensive ( I don’t recommend using Donicar, he charged us 30 to go to town 2 km away), rent a car if you can there is a parking garage in Varenna.The little beach was the highlight of our stay. We went swimming every day and the water was so clean and refreshing!Thanks Marco for a lovely stay!
We had the best of time. Stayed for a month. The owners Marco and Daniela could not have been nicer. The home is a dream. We took morning dips every morning in the lake and walked 2 miles into Varenna every morning for coffee (and back).
We stayed for 3 nights and wished it was a week. The apartment was as comfortable and the view as beautiful as advertised. We did not have a car But it was easy to get to and from the lovely town of Varenna by cab. Marco was a very gracious and helpful host I highly recommend this property.
Marco and Daniela have the most breathtaking lake view rental! Our family of four stayed for 4 nights, and we were in awe of the beautiful views of Lake Como. Perfectly situated outside of Varenna, it was quiet and peaceful while still being easily able to get around the lake for activities. The hosts met us for check-in with a bottle of prosecco and some light snacks, and gave some recommendations on where to eat, as well as where the closest supermarket was. Since the view from the garden and dining room were so incredible, we ate dinner there most nights. There was enough room for our family of four to spread out, and the air conditioning was a definite bonus as there was a heat wave while we were there. My husband and I enjoyed wine in the garden overlooking the lake every night. I can’t say enough about how wonderful this rental was, I would give it 10 stars if I could. My husband and I are already trying to plan a time we could make it there again. Thank you Marco and Daniela, truly one of the best VRBO stays we have ever had!
We had a wonderful 3 days in Marco and Daniella's apartment. The view across to Bellagio and Menaggio was stunning throughout the day. Made use of the private path to the beach for a daily swim and a lovely half hour walk into Varenna. The accommodation was great and as described and the hospitality topped things off. A great place to get through jet lag at the start of our Italian holiday.
Lovely apartment with all the necessities to make an enjpyable stay. Marco and Daniella were perfect hosts and left us a welcome bottle of Proseco and cookies. They were available for our many questions. BUT THE VIEW WAS EXCEPTIONAL. From snow capped moutains to the lake we had a panoramic view one that we will never forget. The town is quaint and ferries to other towns were easy. We highly recommend this apartment and location. Thank you again Marco and Daniella.
We loved the property. Absolutely beautiful views of the lake. Very clean and well equipped kitchen. It is a bit of a walk to get to town with some parts of the road being very narrow. We used the same taxi driver each day for 10-15 euro. Lovely hosts who live on site and very responsive to any questions or requests. Only suggestion would be to have better beds- they were quite soft and not very comfortable. We would love to come back when the weather is better to be able to enjoy the beautiful outdoor area.
My family of four adults (two couples) found this apartment absolutely excellent. The apartment is as pictured and is very clean, modern, and creatively decorated. The view from the large enclosed area off the kitchen is exquisite. Waking to see snow on the mountain tops was a blessing. The patio was restful with lounge chairs and seating. There is a private beach which provided nice opportunity to appreciate Lake Como. The owners/management were exceptionally helpful and pleasant. Having arrived on Easter Sunday, the owners offered us a delicious cake, prosecco, and other treats to get us started on our four-day stay. Fiumelatte and Varenna could work toward extending the walkways, as the walk from the apartment to Varenna is a pleasant mile-and-a-half walk, but very close to traffic at times. Great to have a taxi service available. Marco Barili and Rita were great taxi drivers. Many nice Varenna restaurants, but we especially liked Hosteria del Platano in Fiumelatte. Thanks to the hosts of this beautiful apartment.
An enchanting stay - learned to appreciate the "quieter" side of Lake Como. Small Fiumelatte is just minutes from several slightly larger villages plus the somewhat larger Varenna and situated on a lovely stretch of the lake. Our rental was simply beautiful with its own access to the water and a private, nicely landscaped garden space. Convenient ferry from Varenna opened up the experience to Menaggio and Tremezzo where we visited Villa Carlotta and Villa Monestero. Bellagio is also accessible by ferry. Our host was gracious and responsive. In all, everything exceeded our expectations.
Host and accommodations were amazing!! The views and location was perfect and we feel better than any hotel in the area. We truly had a great time at this property and enjoyed the views without having to drive to another location on the lake. It was clean, updated, and a special place.
Fabulous stay at an incredible home! Marco and Daniela have a beautiful home that they take great care in maintaining. The home has gorgeous views of the lake. The sunroom and garden are perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing and the house is decorated beautifully with super comfortable beds. Varenna is only a short 5 minute drive away. Highly recommend, you will love it!!
Perfect perfect location right across from Lake.All facilities were fantastic and exactly as advertised no issues whatsoever and communication with our Host was so easy and he was so welcoming. Nice touch with water and treats for us when we arrived.Cannot praise this property enough!
The apartment was beyond our expectations & although it rained heavily for a couple of days, this was the place to stay inside, due to the changeable views. Very serene & tranquil with a magnificent panorama of Bellagio & Menaggio. Loved it immensely, including the gift basket. Marco’s son, Giacomo was very helpful.
This is a wonderful apartment, the perfect base for exploring Lake Como, within 10 minutes of Varenna and the regular ferry services. The two bedrooms are spacious with separate bathrooms, and the living spaces are very generous. The entire apartment is clean, well furnished and has everything you’ll need. Parking is off-road and secure in a garage. Marco is a wonderful host, good communication and very generous.The biggest memory is the view, massive panoramic windows give you a perfect view of the lake which is just breathtaking. Cannot recommend this apartment enough.
As pictured! Nice, quiet location (beside street noise from cars and bikes zooming past). Car is a must for getting around and getting supplies like food, laundry detergent and dishwashing tabs- if you want to use those amenities. A single starter pod is provided for each. The locking and secure car garage was under the apartment on the street level which was great. The hosts greeted us to show us around and was very kind to offer area restaurant locations and recommendations as well as the best grocery store for supplies with good parking.
Beautiful large apartment overlooking Lake Como, with a garden patio and private beach - lovely vistas from every room. Our host Marco was very helpful. The walk from Fumelatte to Varenna was best along the “Greenway.” We highly recommend this peaceful place!
Our family of five enjoyed our short time in this beautiful rental. The location is great, the views are fantastic, and the apartment amenities are wonderful. The hosts were very responsive and helpful, and have obviously put a lot of thought and work into the place. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay on Lake Como.
My wife, myself, and our two kids stayed here (2.5yrs old and the other 11mo.). We absolutely enjoyed our time here! It is perfect for families because of the yard, plenty of space, and safe and easy access to swimming. Marco and his family were incredibly kind and friendly throughout the whole process. They even helped us arrange a babysitter so my wife and I could have a date night. Being able to find and stay in a places like this is why I love VRBO and similar sites. The only drawback of this house is that it’s a 30-40min walk from Varenna (a walk on an Italian street where much of it does not have sidewalks). We had a car and were able to find parking in Varenna’s parking garage on the south side of town (even in the busy time of July, but we made sure to arrive early before 9am). Overall I highly recommend this place.
We honestly can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we arrived our host Marco and his wife were exceptionally welcoming. The property offered breathtaking views of Lake Como from almost every room. It was beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean, and felt like a true home away from home. The outdoor garden / balcony provided a space for relaxation and enjoying the serene surroundings. All communication was prompt and helpful throughout our stay and the parking for our car was perfect.Overall, this was the best experience during our trip to Italy. We would highly recommended this apartment for anyone looking for a magical and unforgettable stay in Lake Como!"
The place is as pictured and we loved it very much. Great views and great Patio. Bathrooms and kitchens were all full updated. Host was extremely accommodating.
