Beautiful Bella Varenna

The view was the best. Close to dock and nice restaurant. Easy location to explore other parts of the lake. View was the best. At night when you shut windows it greatly reduced the noise. We liked being here as we had no car. We loved the elevator. Great communications.

Perfection

This was a perfect location and "family lake cabin" type feel, with super accommodating hosts. The windows and balcony were amazing. Located steps from the town center & main cafes, but on the water and on a quiet corner, so no issues with noise. The pictures don't do it justice. All the views are breathtaking. While its not luxurious, everything in the apartment is adequate or better. The bed is technically a sofa bed (if you wondered from the pictures), but the mattress is comfortable. Would absolutely stay again!

Great location that hadn’t been cleaned.

Great location- didn’t have to climb all those steps around Varenna! Very happy with this! Dirty- clearly had not been cleaned. Years of dust/dander on ceiling fan. Bathroom scum in corners. All in all, would stay somewhere else in the same area.

Lake Como Family Vacation

Loved the pool and views of the lake. Very close to bus stop and ferry stop. The breakfast was fantastic every morning. We had dinner at the on-site restaurant one night and it was amazing. Loved the roof top bar and games.

The property is clean, but bathroom smells really bad. There is no TV so it gets very boring at night. Windows are not sealed, so the sound of wind doesn’t let you sleep at night. No hot water and no one around to help.

love at first sight

My best friend and i stayed and this lovely apartment in May of 2016. waking up, sitting, drinking coffee and admiring the breathtaking view. One of the best memories is going home last summer. (i am italian but live over seas) The apartment had everything necessary for a few comfortable nights. The rail station is not far but if you have bad knees or the such hitch a ride. Best location because we go walk downstairs and have a bear and snack, catch the ferry within a few yards and lovely people watching. Thank you so very much for the perfect memory.

Before we even left home, we were appreciative of your agency. Lydia in particular could not have been more helpful, patiently answering a multitude of questions and alleviating our concerns. Her suggestion to stay at Bella Varenna was excellent and staying there was the highlight of our trip. Although we had a minute of concern when upon arrival pwe could not get into our apartment, an evening call to your agency was promptly answered and then a return call was received with the information of the location of the second key. Bella Varenna was very clean and lovely. The views of the lake and mountains from the balcony and windows are incredibly beautiful! Your VRBO pictures of the apartment and views do not do it justice! There was a living room and TV we did not even know existed before we arrived. The view of the little park and promenade below could also be shown, as this was so lovely. Danilo was very helpful and pleasant to work with in securing our WiFi stick. The information folder at the apartment was really helpful, perhaps you could also include info. about local restaurants and grocery stores or the grocery store in Menaggio, which Danilo told us about. We enjoyed staying in the town of Verenna, especially loved the promenade and the beautiful old church. We bought a six day ferry pass, which made taking the ferry really quick and easy. Villa Charlotta was our favorite garden and Bellagio the best town for shopping. Bar Nilus was our favorite place to have dinner in Varenna and Bar La Cumbusca next to the apartment a great place for morning cappucchino or breakfast. We took the Bernina Express into the Alps, which was a fantastic train trip! After a week in Prague and then another week in Venice, spending our last week of vacation on Lake Como was perfect......relaxing, a slower pace, and so very beautiful! Thank you for all your help making our stay so special! We will definitely recommend your agency and properties to others. Again, a very special thank you to Lydia, who is a real asset to your agency.

Great location/views-sparse place

This property is at an ideal location at the Ferry landing in Varenna. It has a great view, but is sparsely decorated and equipped. For the price and location for a family of 4 it is a good bargain, but for two, it is overpriced for the amenities.

Bella Varenna

September 2017 We thoroughly enjoyed our four nights at Bella Varenna! All of the instructions from getting there, accessing the key, to how to operate things in the apartment were spot on. But, wow, that view from the balcony... you just have to see it to believe it. And the location, absolutely perfect! The apartment was very roomy. The furniture was somewhat sparse, but enough for the two of us. It is a very clean apartment. We had an amazing, relaxing, and fun vacation. There are so many restaurant choices in the small town. Our favorite restaurant was Quatro Pass. It is off the beaten path. There is not much shopping for souvenirs so you have to go to Bellagio for that. We took the ferry over to Bellagio one day, Mennagio the next, and on the last day took a small group 1 hour wooden boat ride then leisurely explored Varenna some more. We would love to go back to Bella Varenna some day. Happy Holiday Homes was great. We had a problem with the clothes washer on the first day. We had a lot of laundry to do since we had been in Italy for almost a week. I was down to the last bit of clean clothes. I was upset that the washer was broken. HHH had a new washer installed while we were site seeing in Bellagio the next day. That is great customer service! Kimberly, UK

August 2017 Bella Varenna is a super apartment with a lovely terrace view in a great location next to the ferry dock and close to waterfront restaurants. The self-check in process was easy. Varenna is by far the best place to stay on beautiful Lake Como! Mary Anne, UK

July 2016 We really enjoyed our stay at Bella Varenna. The property was as described and shown in the photos - gorgeous view over the lake! The location was excellent - accessible to the ferries and a very pleasant stroll to the older part of town. We ate at 3 restaurants in Varenna and the food was very good at each one. They were all located in the older part of the town along the shore - I'm sorry I cannot remember the names. We loved the gelateria's that offered cushions to sit on the nearby steps! We would absolutely recommend the property, the small comments I have are very minor issues. Thank you so much & enjoy the rest of the summer! Susan, Canada

Mixed Review

I had mixed feelings about this apartment. It was a great location with a spectacular view. The apartment was very large but very cheaply furnished. The posted pictures look much better than the actual furnishings. In the kitchen/ dining area and the TV room there are only overhead lights which were very harsh. The bathroom, while clean, could use re-calking in the shower which was moldy. I had to call the office the next day to get the password for the Wi-Fi. It should have been posted in the apartment. The directions for the tv were incorrect and we spent a long time to get tv reception. The light in the stairwell was burned out so it was very dark at night. And this was the most expensive place I stayed on this trip. I felt for the price it should have been furnished with a higher quality of furniture. I would recommend for the location but be aware that its not a great value.

Bella Varenna exceeded our expectations. Your directions were precise and easy to follow. The apartment was larger than expected and very convenient. Of course the view is spectacular. We were only able to be there a short time, but we enjoyed the ferry ride to Bellagio and every meal we had. We especially appreciated the washing machine:)

Thank you so much for the excellent directions to Bella Varenna. We found it very easily and the code box for the key worked very well. Although it was very late and raining when we arrived, today has been fabulous weather. The villa is everything we hoped it would be. The view is amazing, the rooms are large, light and airy and there is nothing that we need that isn't here. It is a beautiful apartment and we are so spoilt to be in Bella Varenna for a week. In fact I don't think a week will be long enough! Once again, thank you.

Thank you for your email. Steve and I miss Italy already, especially the Lake Como area! The communication from your team was excellent. We appreciated all the helpful tips and the directions from the train station. Finding and entering the apartment was extremely easy. The location and views are spectacular! We enjoyed the ease of walking out of the apartment and jumping on the ferry. Based on the photos and descriptions on-line, Bella Varenna was exactly what I expected. We loved our stay and will return one day! Thanks so much to your staff for an unforgettable part of our trip to Italy!

Bella Varenna

I wanted to thank you for the excellent service during our 10-day stay at the apartment, "Bella Varenna." Everything was lovely, and the apartment is well supplied, for the most part. I had called you office a couple of times about the fact that the wifi device had quit working, and I understand that Saturday is a busy day for you. Luckily, the device finally discharged its battery and I was able to re-charge it and turn it back on, Saturday evening. As I had been advised, the memory cleared, so to speak, and the device began working again. I recommend you explain to other Americans (who are not used to wifi "cubes") that this can happen when you keep it plugged in all the time. If you don't keep it plugged in, however, you have to reset each time you turn on your device. So it's not an ideal wifi solution: perhaps you will consider putting in an actual wifi modem/router for the apartment, which most places include with no extra fee anyway. Again, we greatly enjoyed our stay in Varenna, which is completely lovely and charming. We also appreciate the assistance of your staff, both before our arrival, via emails, and during our stay. We thank Danilo for helping with a reservation for lunch one day and also for giving several good suggestions for visiting some places on our own. We are independent travelers, and we do not typically enjoy tours, so having your staff available was pleasant, while not being part of a "package," group, or tour of any kind. Grazie mille for all the good service provided,
