Elegant villa, lake view

RenataRating, 5 stars7 months ago
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed Marina’s beautiful old house. It has tons of old-world character; it has a gorgeous view; it’s totally private; and it’s very spacious. We were six couples and there was still room to spare. The house is 20 minutes walk from town but we had cars and drove. Marina’s brother and niece met us for check in and were extremely helpful and gracious. As we arrived after dark, they kindly left provisions for a simple dinner, which was highly appreciated.

For rent "Casetta Ciolina", center, sleeps 4

AlessandroRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Very nice apartment, small but intelligently arranged on three levels, suitable for a couple with a child of school age and tastefully furnished. Even on winter days of discreet cold, the accommodation was very warm. Easy check-in and checkout with good flexibility from the host. Great cleanliness. Parking space practically one minute from the house. Enviable location, the apartment is in fact in a very quiet alley, but it remains a few dozen meters from the center of Santa Maria Maggiore and therefore also from shops, restaurants, etc. Thank you Wally, recommended stay!

JacobRating, 5 stars10 months ago
Everything about this stay was more then perfect, the view was incredible and worth staying here for this alone! having both parking spots was handy, bed was incredibly comfortable, one of the best showers I’ve used, communication and recommendations are the best we’ve ever experienced from a host, they made a great trip even better, The walk into the town is fine, very scenic and chose to do it on a couple of occasions.

The window on the lake

DougRating, 5 stars4 months ago
The apartment is in a great location close to the ferry, and close to the central part of Varenna where restaurants and bars and grocery shops are. Also close to the Monastero gardens, and the path up to the castle. The apartment is large with 2 bedrooms, living area, outside deck area, kitchen, small porch, full bathroom. It is off the main street so is very quiet. At this time of year in November many places are closed so need to check what is open. The ferry across to Bellagio is well worth the trip with boats running almost every 30 minutes.
Superhost
A vehicle is parked on a grassy area overlooking lush green hills. Surrounding foliage includes a variety of trees, providing a sense of privacy. A gravel road is visible nearby, leading away from the parking space and into the mountainous landscape.

Country House

We had a very nice vacation at Maria Antonietta's. We were very warmly welcomed and even the fridge was filled. The apartment is nice and offers plenty of space, the bed was also comfortable. The courtyard is great, you have direct access from all rooms - and our daughter was very happy about the slide :).

Casa sul Monte - Ispra

MatthiasRating, 5 stars6 days ago
This unique house has a wonderful location with great surroundings. We are a family of 5 and found everything we needed. The house is very well-equipped and there is plenty of space for playing outside. The nice lady from the farm next door showed us her animals and even gave us fresh eggs and Italian Easter-bread. Unfortunately, we had to leave 3 days early due to severe weather warnings and a sick child. We still enjoyed our stay very much and hope to come back some day.
