This house is simply amazing! The pictures almost do not do it justice. It was the most luxurious and roomy of all the rentals we stayed in during our vacation in Italy, and the view is simply breathtaking. Our only regret is that we did not have more time to spend in this picturesque home. The owner is very easy to reach and we met his sweet father who provided access to the house and explained where things were even though he spoke little English. I highly recommend renting a car if you rent this unit which is located in the adorable town of Bellano, about 15 minutes north of Varenna. Note, that It is NOT possible to walk to the house from the train station and that there are very few cabs or ride-shares available. The host recommended three taxi options and none were available, so we had to quickly find a rental which thankfully we were able to do. While Bellano does have a ferry, the times are limited and not as frequent as other popular stops. The house is 3 stories, with a garage on the first floor, another unit on the second floor, and this rental is on the top floor, so you will have several flights of stairs to carry luggage. However, if you want a place to relax, take it slow, and enjoy the views - this is it.
