Had to call the property management company and even then, they did not know how to access the apartment. Needs to be addressed for future guests. Also, and most important, during the 3 night stay, there was no hot water for showers. The property management company said they fixed it when we complained, but it never got warm. Guests should not have to endure this. ##### Linda Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melinda M. 13 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location, nice stay Great stay, perfect location.

It is in a very charming and convenient spot very near the town square and the shops and restaurants on the waterfront. Varenna is a jewel and we are very glad we chose it and did side trips from there. The place is very clean and everything was of good quality. The instructions from the management company with directions and how to get in were detailed and easy to follow. We felt very secure with the gated entry area. The communal patio was small but offered a beautiful view. If returning to Varenna we would stay there again. It is very comfortable for two adults but would be tight for four. ##### roxanne F.

This was very centrally located, securely locked behind a gated entrance and secure inside access. We loved the space, it was very cleanly, beautiful view and a lot of appliances- the washer and dryer was an added bonus! There were also multiple fans in multiple rooms, which was very appreciated because it was very hot in the summer. We also appreciated the welcome box full of wine, water and snacks! The host was also very easy to reach and responded to us quickly to support with early check in. Thanks so much! ##### Tiffany C.

I was a little worried, as it was the last place left in Varenna on AirB&B, but as it turned out, we couldn't be happier. The location is perfect, just off the main square of town and right above Bar Molo, probably the best cafe overlooking the lake. The apartment itself is large and clean, with everything supplied - more like a serviced apartment than a normal AirB&B. No WiFi, which is a pity, but there is free WiFi at the cafe below. It's an easy and well- explained process to get the key. I really can't recommend highly enough - a great apartment in a beautiful location. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fern J. 7 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lake View The apartment is clean and modern. Some street noise during the day but quiet at night. The apt is difficult to find. GPS directions send you along the harbor which is difficult with bags. Stick to the high Road. There is a sloped drive that goes down just before the Royal Victoria Hotel. The bed is comfortable. The shower a little cramped. The kitchen is well equipped. We did not use it much but appreciated the washing machine. The apt is an excellent base for exploring the lake towns. ##### Fern J. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Caitlin K. 1 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful, low maintenance stay The location of the apartment is literally perfect. The courtyard has a little patio so you could sit and play cards above the main street, taking in all the atmosphere and stunning view without the wait for a table. The apartment itself was clean and comfy but just a warning to anyone who needs more, it’s definitely primitive. The water didn’t get very hot, there was only one towel per person, there was spare pillows but no extra pillow cases, the tv doesn’t work either. We made do with all the above, particularly as the location is so central it’s great to get out an about anyway! We didn’t use the kitchen as we just went to the square for coffee and croissants etc every day! Overall an amazing stay and would do it again, but if you’re looking for hotel luxe then this isn’t the best apartment for you. ##### Caitlin K.

I called the office four times and was told that I didn’t know how to sign on. The third day they sent someone out who rebooted the router, which was in another unit. The TV never worked. Perhaps I don’t know how to turn on a TV either. ##### David Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeremy 25 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication I have nothing but GOOD to say at all about our stay here while we were vacationing in Italy. I’ll point out what I’d say are obvious to most stays in Italy, just because I think it’s good information for Americans like us. A lot of people on these apps leave negative feedback for these reasons, but just know that we’re in Italy and these factors are just about everywhere here. 1) there are steps to get to your room, sometimes a lot of them. At the actual apartment, there are only a couple steps, I wouldn’t even call them stairs. Plenty of stairs before you get there though. 2) the showers are small! I’m 6’4” and 240lbs… I fit, but it’s not like home, lol. Okay now that that’s over with, here’s the positive aspects of this place. 1. Location, location, location!!! Easy walk to anywhere. 10 minutes with luggage from the train. Food right underneath you (make a reservation). Food along the water, nearly the entire way to the ferry stop… which is about a 10 minute walk. Make the hike up to the castle, the views are worth it! 2. Washing machine. This was huge for us as it was the halfway stop of our 17 day vacation. There’s even a great clothes rack in the closet to help drying. NOTE: NO AC! We didn’t need it, the fans worked great, but just beware in case you’re coming when it’s hotter. Stay here, you won’t be disappointed!!! ##### Jeremy Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Polly W. 28 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location #### Great location and apartment but is lacking in the DETAILS! I received directions to the property except one of the key landmarks, a Postal Italian sign no longer exists! This made finding the property difficult. The lock box was difficult to impossible to open to gain access to the keys! The lock to the door was temperamental. Once inside there was no info about WiFi. There was no info about how to operate the washer or the cooktop. In my experience the owner usually provides a laminated sheet with all of the above. Why wasn’t the washing machine detergent located with the washer? I had to go out and purchase some only later locating the tablets under the sink with the kitchen cleaning stuff. There were no napkins for the table. And instant coffee?!!! This is Italy. Please provide pods for maker or fresh coffee for the pot. This was not a low budget rental! Oh, and while we are at it the instant hot water device does not work! Finally renters should be aware that the balcony listed is across the parking lot from the apartment. I have used VRBO many times worldwide and have to say this property was lacking in many ways!!! ##### Polly W. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Murray B. 17 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Communication, location, listing accuracy #### Disappointing Centrally located. HoweverNo wifi for the entire 6 nights we were there. Lots of excuses, but no action and promises of compensation came to nothing.No provsions of basic items apart from detergent. One roll of cheap toilet paper for 6 nights! More was provided after complaining. No coffee, pods, sugar or anything basic. Not even a plug for the sink. Kitchen was basic with no bench space and one power point to run microwave, kettle, toaster and the coffee percolator (no coffee anyway)Every morning from 6 am the noise started. Trucks and service deliveries to the restaurants in the area, municipal workers collecting rubbish and chatting at the top of their voices. Leaf blowers. People dragging their baggage over cobblestones as they leave. At night we had to endure al the noise from revellers at nearby restaurants, which mostly stopped by 10pm. This was part of an extended Europe holiday. We have been to 5 cities so far. This was our worst experience and we have given 4 or 5 stars at other places. We paid a lot of money for this accommodation and it was not worth it. This apartment is run by a property manager. So any personal touch or interaction is nil. Lake Como and Varenna are beautiful. Just don’t stay here if you want peace and quiet and some basic comforts and amenities, like wifi. ##### Murray B.

In addition, this apartment is perfect for getting around Varenna. Just minutes from the ##### Tom H.

Super charming with an absolutely stunning view of Lake Como from the living room and bathroom windows. It was very well equipped with anything we needed for our stay. We loved the entire experience! ##### Gail S.
