Located in Varenna, Villa Torretta provides accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning and access to a garden. The guest house offers lake views and a picnic area.

At the guest house, the units have a desk. Units are complete with a private bathroom equipped with a bidet and a hair dryer, while certain units at the guest house also offer a terrace. At the guest house, every unit has bed linen and towels.

Our hostess was lovely! It was very easy to communicate with her and she went out of her way to make us comfortable. The Villa was charming and our room was great--especially the views of the lake. The table and chairs outside were wonderful to enjoy a glass of wine and the views. The location was perfect --we could easily walk to restaurants and it was so convenient to the ferry to take day trips to Menagio or Bellagio. I would recommend this Villa if you want to experience old world Italian charm.

Located in the historical heart of Varenna, Casa Contrada Bella is a traditional stone house with wooden beams, wrought-iron beds, and free WiFi. It is close to shops and restaurants, and a short walk from the lake shores.

This beautiful property is located literally a few steps from Varenna's historical town square and is so convenient to go anywhere. Varenna's two landmark villas and famous lakeside promenade are only a couple of minutes walk from this property and the ferry terminal is just 10 minutes walk along the gorgeous promenade. We stayed in the Blue Room and absolutely loved it. Everything (bed, furniture, TV, shower, toilet, etc.) Is brand-new and the room is so beautifully decorated, airy, and very chic. The room is also so squeaky clean, which is important during the pandemic, and we loved the high ceiling, which made the room feel even larger. Special thanks goes to Diana, who owns this property. She is so kind. She took care of us well and made our stay in Varenna extra special. If we can return to Varenna again, we will go back to Diana's property in a heartbeat. Grazie mille, Diana!!!

    Charming accommodation and a great location in beautiful Varenna. We loved staying in this traditional apartment. The hosts were really helpful and friendly and clear with their instructions on accessing the accommodation. We had a problem with one of our keys to the room, but the hosts responded immediately and all was sorted really quickly. We would stay here again.

    Everything was perfect. Location is in quiet neighbourhood, the view is really amazing. The house itself has everything you need. It’s very warm and cozy place with the parking right next to the house. Massimo is the great host, he had made everything you feel like at home. Definitely we will return back there. And yes, you’d better have some car to make your stay more enjoyable.

    Everything! Great location. Super close to the ferry and train station. And there’s a beach area just down the end of the street to swim in the lake. Anna was a great host. She met us at check in, gave great restaurant recommendations and even helped us book a transfer back to Milan airport. Our family loved our time here! Thanks so much!

    We had a lovely stay and the house met all our expectations. The view was just WOW, we could see the Bellagio peninsula. The house was quiet and away from all the Lake Como tourist areas which was very peaceful. The house was well equiped, I.e. kitchen utensils etc. Nicole was a great host and was very helpful in providing instructions and recommendations around the area. We also found some cute swimming spots very close by to the house so that’s convenient.

    Tizi House is a 10 out of 10! Fantastic host, great location, near to town but very quiet. Everything provided by Tiziano, including a bottle of bubbles! It felt like home, separate bedroom, good sized lounge and kitchen area, fantastic shower and a washing machine. We highly recommend.

    We had such a great stay in Varenna at this apartment. Not only was it in such a perfect (and quiet) location, but it had everything you needed to make it that much more comfortable including the private courtyard. Attilio was such a great host, thanks again for having us!

    Everything. Great location. Great view. Great sleep. Great host. Just a spectacular quaint place to stay. We absolute loved the place and the area. Was easy to find and there was parking available. You do need to pay for it during day hours. This was not a problem for us as we were aware that the property does not have parking and we were lucky to get to park close by and walk/ferry everywhere. Varenna is a great little town and we can highly recommend visiting and staying at the Villa Toretta. Thanks for making our stay great!!!
