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.

VERY NICE CONDO IN AN EXCELLENT LOCATION
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay in Varenna. The condo was very nice and in a particularly good location….close to the action and convenient to grocery stores and restaurants. Thanks to the hosts who let us arrive early.

Varenna Stay
We booked this cute stay for a short trip in Varenna for a wedding. 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!

Beautiful apartment in a perfect location although would benefit from a few simple fixes
The location & the apartment itself were really fantastic- a beautiful airy apartment overlooking a shady square, and about 30 seconds walk to the absolute hub of Varenna restaurants & bars. Very easy to get to ferry port, and useful local shops about 2 mins walk from front door as well (grocery store, bakers, meat/cheese, coffee shop...). There are a few fixes which the property managers need to put in place though to really elevate the apartment - some of which would be easy (supplying a plug that fits the kitchen sink, fixing the bin lid & broken toilet roll holder, providing instructions in the apartment with wifi code & locations of local shops, removing used clothes from the bedroom wardrobe), others are probably a bit bigger jobs (fixing a broken shutter, realigning wonky bed legs, slight leak in the shower...). The property managers were generally fairly responsive when contacted, so I hope they will be addressing them soon - it's not a cheap apartment rental, and while 90% of it lives up to the promise of the price, it did fall a little short on those basic requirements.
