The apartment is situated in the heart of the small village of Varenna, named the pearl of the lake,

It has a lovely balcony where you may have a soft drink, read a good book or enjoy relaxing moments.
Its central position is the most significant feature.
Being the apartment close to the railway station and ferry you can easily visit the lake most beautiful places and move to towns without a car is needed.
Also shops, banks, restaurants and pharmacy are very close to it.

The entire experience was magical! I would recommend this apartment to everyone. It was centrally located to everything- restaurants, shops, ferry and train station. We loved the design and decor!! Soooo Italian. Maria was charming, sweet and so accommodating. We hope to return in the future.

Snug.

Great hosts, friendly neighbors. Wonderful shower and bed. Lovely little porch to sit and watch the lake and the boats. Convenient to a market, cleaners, pharmacy and several restaurants. The only negative was the size of the unit. Ok for one person or two small people.

Small and perfectly lovely

Met at the train station by the lovely Maria and Pietro. Check in was smooth and they pointed out all the areas we may need for our stay en route to the house. It’s a small but perfectly situated home on a lovely cobbled street with a balcony overlooking the lake and mountain where we enjoyed having morning coffee and even choosing to eat a couple of meals there too. It is a busy thoroughfare, everyone wanting to take photos from the top or bottom as it is so beautiful. The home had everything we needed and whilst small was perfectly adequate for our stay. The bathroom was modern and clean. We did have to empty the chest of drawers so we could put our clothes away, and I hung my dresses on a small rack. We would definitely choose to stay there again and especially loved being so close to a couple of restaurants that we particularly enjoyed going to and also not very far away from the gelato shop. Store selling essentials was also close by. A beautiful home that we would thoroughly recommend.
