Beautiful View in Varenna

Great location on Lake Como for a wonderful holiday experience. Great balcony and walking stance to shops and restaurants. The steps can be challenging for some but certainly worth the effort.

Perfecto

Varenna itself is a magically spectacular place to visit and the Elizabeth House is right in the heart of this lovely town. The view of the lake and mountains from the balcony was glorious and the view of the town and passersby was fun. Three bedrooms and 2 baths were clean, up to date and comfortable. The kitchen had everything our family of 5 needed for a great 4 day stay. We’ll definitely be back.

Perfect location!

We loved where this house was located and enjoy sitting on the patio looking at the gorgeous views of the lake! All the beds were very comfortable mattresses and there were plenty of towels and soft linens. The fans upstairs don't cool a lot, but enough to not having hot temperature

Great location

The location is perfect! It was close to a small city center. The view from the main bedroom is gorgeous. The house was clean and well taken care of. Small shops right outside your doorstep. Bathrooms need trash cans.

Nice but...

Very cute and great location. We stayed in September and it was hot. The AC (air circulation) was not efficient. Even though the location is great the noise level from people walking bye and noise from the restaurants was a bit intrusive.

Overall great experience!

We absolutely loved our apartment! The location was great and the apartment was adorable. Definitely important to note though that there is no air conditioning, so in the summer it is very hot.

Incredible Location and Property

Elizabeth House is everything the pictures say about it! 1 - Incredible location in the heart of Varenna lakefront, 2 - Clean, spacious and lovely rooms, bathrooms and kitchen, 3 - check-in was so helpful and when we had a timing issue, they allowed us to store luggage at the office and took our luggage to the apartment for us. 5 stars, would absolutely stay again. Fits 6 people nicely, we were 4, it was very very spacious.

Perfect house, perfect location!!!

This place was amazing! I couldn't have imagined anything better than this place. The house was amazing, the location was amazing and the village was amazing. Nice spacious and beautiful house and we really enjoyed the balcony overlooking the lake! It was a lovely, perfect little village. It was so easy to get around and walk to the ferry. The ferry was so convenient and ran frequently to many different villages nearby on the lake. Lots of great restaurants in this village. The house was spacious, clean and had everything that one would need. Communication with Varenna Holidays was wonderful! They made everything easy and check in was great and they helped me book a tour. If I get back to Lake Como again someday, I would definitely stay here again and I definitely recommend this house!

Best Vacation Home In Varenna

First, the location of this home is perfect! The lakefront view and balcony made it worth every penny. Additionally, the accommodations inside the home were great for the 7 people in our group. We had plenty of space and felt comfortable throughout the stay. Finally, the staff was very communicative leading up to our stay which was greatly appreciated. Thank you for an amazing, memorable experience in the best vacation home we’ve ever stayed in! Everything was excellent, but we had one small callout. The sinks in both bathrooms were clogged and did not drain easily, causing the water to fill up the sink and dirty it.

A beautiful house on the lakefront

A house renovated to a high standard and lovingly furnished, extremely clean, with beautiful views of the lake and situated in the centre of Varenna. During summer, the bedrooms upstairs are quite warm at night.

Magical apartment on the water.

First off Varenna is one of the best villages on the lake. The people are so nice and there are many many great restaurants. The apartment itself couldn’t be in a better location. The balcony was my favorite spot and a great place to watch the sunset over the mountains. The apartment is very well decorated and makes you feel right at home. Loved it all!!

Varenna was our first stop on our Italy adventure. The Elizabeth House is situated right on Lake Como. It is spacious and clean. Views are amazing! Plenty of room for two couples or small family. The amenities were great, fully stocked kitchen to prepare your own Italian dish and sip wine on the narrow balcony (all part of its charm ). Our only problem was. the hot water in the upstairs shower. We had two couples sharing one small shower downstairs. We notified the management and unfortunately it was not resolved during our stay. We stayed 4 nights. First we were told tomorrow, then the part was ordered and checking out said looking into. Overall we throughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again !! Thank you Elizabeth House.
