What a view to have for breakfast each morning!!
Very clean, well-laid out apartment, with a beautiful view from the veranda, lounge and bedroom. Stefy, the owner, very friendly and helpful.
Nice walk into Varenna (about 50 minutes walk), which is where the boats sail from.
We bought a 6 day boat pass (45 Euros) for the central lake area, visiting many of the towns/villages, which all have so much character. Our favourite was Varenna itself, having a great variety of lakeside restaurants, ice cream shops, and steep alleyways.
One day we bought an extra ticket and traveled down to Como.....beautiful 2 and half hour trip (on the way back we came half of the journey by the faster boat, so as to have longer in Como). Como itself was rather busy for us.
I would advise having a car if you would prefer not/are not able to walk the 50 minutes to Varenna. For our part we loved the freedom of not having a car, as roads in the towns/villages are narrow and I would imagine very congested in the summer months.
Would thoroughly recommend this apartment!
