Photos and Description of this Varenna holiday apartment Apartment in the heart of Varenna Lake Como

One-bedroom apartment located in Varenna, an elegant village on the shore of Italy's Lake of Como (50sq m) in the heart of Varenna's old quarter, just little steps from the water and the main square. The apartment looks onto a picturesque cobblestone pedestrian-only archway leading straight to the beach and the lakeside with the beautiful pubs, restaurants, shops and art galleries. The rooms of this apartment on the first floor, of a recently restored sixteen century building, affords picturesque views of the lake. The hall, the bedroom, the bathroom with shower and the kitchen-sitting room with fireplace are bright and furnished with good taste, in a modern and functional style. The apartment is within walking distance of Varenna's highlights.

The apartment is within walking distance of Varenna's highlights. Villa Cipressi, built in the sixteen century, has terraced gardens cascading to the lake's edge. Its cypress trees and wisteria provide a beautiful backdrop for a garden walk. Nearby, Villa Monastero has been called the highlight of Lake Como's eastern shore. This former sixteen century Cistercian abbey is today an important international meeting centre. The apartments have been recently opened to the public and can be visited during the weekend. But Villa Monastero is rightly famous above all for its wonderful gardens with impressive statues and neoclassic architectural elements. The square features the twelfth century Church of San Giorgio, built over an ancient temple. This parish church features a distinctive round red brick steeple.

Review Submitted: August 4, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversay at the apartment in Varenna 7/11/09-7/15/09. This is a fabulous property and value. Beautifully located in the middle of Varenna. We especially appreciated the cleanliness of the apartment, the very functional kitchen and the clothes washing machine. Maria and Pietro were wonderful hosts-would return in a heart beat!

My husband, 18 year old son, and I just returned from Italy where we stayed in Maria's house from April 11-April 16. Peter picked us up from the train station and brought us to the house where we met Maria. Both of them showed us around the apartment and then gave us a tour of the village. As for the apartment, it is PERFECT. We travel often and rarely stay in hotels but instead choose homes like this one. The apartment was spotlessly clean and in a perfect location. The price was reasonable and we loved to come home to Maria's house each night after a day of travels. Peter and Maria are wonderful people who are very HONEST. Sometimes it's scary going to a foreign country not knowing anyone but after meeting them I knew I could call them for anything if we needed to. They are trustworthy people and we can't wait to visit Varenna again and we will not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you Peter and Maria for everything!!!!!

Italian Adventures, Romantic & Fun Gateaway

Denok Quincy, Massachusetts, USA
Review Submitted: October 11, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
We had enjoyed so much to stay at Maria's House and we choose it as Rick Steve's also recommend this place. The house is in central of varenna and very cozy, homey, and complete all appliances. The shower is larger compare than 4 star hotel in Rome, Florence, etc. The way she set up the apartment is very roomy and cozy, italian style (nice & unique collection). Alot of closet to store our stuffs. The apartment is extremely clean. We are so happy that we stayed at this place. We had used the washing machine and hang our clothes by the windown to have an experience as Italian people do. It's fun. And the only thing that we don't recommend someone who has a wellchair or elderly - it's too high to take the stairs. Especially caring all luggage. Maria & Pietro are very nice couple. They picked us up at the train station, showing us around the town even it's a little bit to communicate since they speak little english, but it's fun to hear someone else speaking in different languages. We just go with the flow.
Close to Villa Monasterra and everywhere we walked at the botanical garden we were smelling flower scent, and herbs (rosemary plants are huge & everywhere). It's close to the ferry dock, so we catch sunrise and sunset on the way to ferry dock. And transporation is easy hop on hop off boat for 10.50 Euro/day, you can visit each island: such as Bellagio, Menaggio, and different places in Lake Como. Definitely, we recommend this place and I would be back again to stay at the same place. Our ages are range from 40 - 49 years old. So taking stairs are no problem for us.
