The unit is clean and comfortable. The 2nd bedroom is up a pretty narrow spiral staircase so it's not conducive to bringing up large pieces of luggage. Overall, it was a really nice stay. ##### Daniel C.

My husband and I stayed here with another couple & had a great time! The apartment is pretty, modern, & comfortable for 4 people. Plus, the views of the lake!!! The location is perfect-right near the plaza with shops and restaurants, and it’s a short (hilly) walk to the lake. One thing to note-one of the bedrooms is upstairs via a small spiral staircase. It’s a bit challenging to bring up a heavy suitcase, but doable. And, the mini window view at the top is worth it! ##### EA S. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Tracy C. 30 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful view with convenient location The apartment has a nice view and is conveniently located near the town center, as well as a small swimming beach. A coffee-maker with sufficient coffee and a washing machine with two detergent pods were provided and worked well. We hung our clothes to dry, using the many hangers in the closets. The weather during our stay was in the 90s F, and two of the four A/C units weren't working properly, making the loft a bit uncomfortable. Additionally, our suitcases were too big to bring up the spiral staircase, which was a little inconvenient. The apartment is probably better suited to backpackers, as is the town. Many streets are actually steep alleys of stairs, which is charming, but difficult when carrying large, heavy luggage. The wifi was spotty, but that could be a Varenna-wide problem with so many visitors packed into a town with fewer than 1,000 residents. I sent a WhatsApp about the A/C and wifi, but did not try the provided phone numbers due to issues with my international calling plan. We enjoyed our stay, swimming most days, sampling several good restaurants and gelaterias, visiting the villa gardens, and day-tripping to Bellagio and Bellamo. The ferries are busy, and private boats are expensive, but it was still fun, and we thoroughly enjoyed the nonstop gorgeous views. We would definitely consider returning! ##### Tracy C.

Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### CLAIRE S. 11 Sept 2025 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Unfortunately, we had to abandon the property after one night. We tried working with the property management to resolve a few problems with no success. The most critical problem was that there were bedbugs or some similar type of bugs that bit one member of our party overnight, leaving evidence, as bugs do, on the bedding. There were a few other less critical problems that night (i.e.a fast leaking a/c unit). Although the correspondence with management was cordial, they were evasive and would not send a representative to inspect and correct, nor could they provide replacement towels for those we had to use to sop up the leaked water. This left us with no bed to sleep on for the second night and no towels. With no local resolution, we were finally helped by central VRBO who looked at the same photos we had submitted to the local management and agreed with us that the bug situation was bad. Therefore, VRBO promised a refund and luckily we found another place to stay in a very heavily over-booked vacation area where availability is hard to find. ##### CLAIRE S.

When I reached out to the hosts they instructed me to check a water tank on the balcony. There was no balcony. When I asked for further instruction invot no answer. Pattern here. Asked 2 other questions before arrival… no answer. Paid top dollar for a unit that was uncomfortable with hosts that didn’t care. I would steer clear of this place. Even when I told them I could not give the place a good review they didn’t respond. Only time I heard from the host was a text reminder that we had to be out by 10:30 at the latest and had to pack out our own garbage according to the lengthy contract they force you to sign online and in italian not English. Overall not a good experience. ##### John P. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Frank 6 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The location was excellent. It was on level with the road and a small plaza with several restaurant sand you could walk down to the lake where more restaurant options were available. Once you walk down to the lake the views are spectacular. Ferry service is very accessible to the other towns. Biggest downside was communication in general. Took days to her back when sending a whats app message. Also ferry service must be purchased day of so you cant buy tickets for the next day ferries in advance. Lines for ferry purchase can be long, especiall for Bellagio so plan to get there early. Varenna was my favorite, and that was after visiting Belaggio, Melaggio and Como. It is the most charming and easy paced. ##### Frank Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ---
