10/10
A modern apartment (furnished mostly by Ikea) at the very top of central Varenna with an obstructed, but nice, view of Lake Como (roof and TV antenna obstructing the view). Steep uneven steps lead to this two story apartment with an open living room/kitchen upstairs. A large fully opening glass door leads to a small, sunny patio (gets very hot due to a western exposure in the summer) Kitchen was equipped enough for very basic cooking. Laundry machine worked very well, but slow. Power problems prevent using multiple appliances at once (AC, Washer, stove, etc) (We only flipped a breaker once) The only light bulb to the bathroom was reported to management the first day as burnt out, we were told it would be fixed and it never was replaced. Two nice bedrooms are downstairs with comfortable beds and good linens. Bathrooms have small but nice showers with good water pressure and hot water. Close to restaurants, bars, and a take away fast food pizza restaurant. The Varenna Holiday office is immediately below the apartment across the street. Four of us were very comfortable and happy with this interesting, fun, modern apartment built into a very old structure.. The staff is very friendly and helpful (we never bothered to ask again for the light bulb). We had a fantastic time and would definitely return again. This apartment is not suitable for people with mobility issues that are not comfortable climbing a steep uneven, narrow staircase. We got a lot of exercise just walking up the steps, which is basically everywhere in Varenna. Highly recommend!
