Waterfront vacation rentals in Northeast Italy

Wonderful stay and the view is amazing. The hosts are proactive and went extra mile to ensure not only my stay at their place but also the visit to Varenna is comfortable. They even went out of way to inform me that the trains are not working on the day of my vacating and in case I plan to leave Varenna, they suggested alternate modes and booking details. Very responsive, and kind to respond to me even at 11 pm in the night. The place is clean and cute with all you may need for a great stay. The bed is comfortable. The cute note they shared while vacating, and a beautiful handwritten“thank you “ note sealed the deal for me ❤️

This place is amazing! The quiet nights on the patio, or walking down to the lake to enjoy the lights in the castle with evening setting on Lake Como were so wonderfully relaxing. I would recommend to anyone wanting to escape the insanity of Varenna. Other pluses. Town parking pass for Dervio. Amazing breakfast waiting for the ferry there, full kitchen for spectacular sunset meals with the best view of the lake!

Beautiful apartment, great communication with hosts, best location in Venice. There is a pre-school across the alley, lively local activity in the Giovanni e Paolo square, local and tourist traffic on the canal right outside the windows (Google maps thinks you are in the canal!) In this location, you feel part of the real Venice. The apartment is spacious, the bedrooms, living room, kitchen and main bath are all very nice, the second bathroom is tiny. Excellent coffee machine, beautiful dishes and glasses, everything needed (and more) was available. The hosts provided a curated, very-accurate guide to Venice. We would definitely book again, thank you for a fantastic stay!

The greeting upon arrival was excellent, we were offered an upgrade as some guests had cancelled due to weather, a nice gesture! The appartment was well furnished, clean and very comfortable. The location is excellent. Far enough from the busy touristic Bellagio but close enough to walk. The ferry pick up is just steps away. The grounds are immaculate and large enough to get a good run in every morning (5km) track style staying on the stone path that twirls the 42 hectar property. The grounds allow you great views of Tremezzo and Villa Carlotta accross the Lake and you can swim if the tempersture permits on the stairs that access the Lake. This is really a great place to stay!

Nice area, lots of eating places around. Easy to get into centre of town!

Ettore's place was perfect for my wife and me! It matched the description well and was very clean. It is perfectly located right by the Varenna square and a short walk down to the water. Ettore picked us up off of the train and helped us get settled. Upon check-out we walked to the train station which is about 10-minutes away. The best part of the apartment is its location. Out the front door there is an excellent restaurant (Il Cavitappi) and wine shop (In Vinis Veritas). Albergo del Sole is a couple of (short) blocks away and is perfect for pizza. Gelato and breakfast stops are also very close. We rented a boat for the day and the dock is also very close to the apartment.

WOW. This is a great flat. It’s even better than the photos. The view is priceless. Alessandra is a great host. She is proactive. She initiated the contacts to make sure everything is Okay. She gave us recommendations regarding restaurants and places to visit. She even gave is delicious biscuits made by her Mother. I would recommend this place for anyone wants to relax in lake Como. I shall visit this place again. Thank you Alessandra and Andrea.

We loved our stay in Bellano. It’s a peaceful town and a beautiful location. Sylvia was a great host, very helpful and very responsive when we needed questions answered

The serene location with the most beautiful views. The home was larger than expected and beautifully decorated. Perfect to pop over to Venice for the day. Venice is too crowded to stay. We prefer relaxed areas. I will tell everyone I know to come and enjoy your lovely place. Thank you.

Great location right in the middle of all the action in a cute small popular town. we loved having the balcony to enjoy the view during the stay. The beach right in front of the house does get crowded during the day and night. We didn't mind it at all and enjoyed it but something to consider if you are traveling in the high season and want more privacy.

We stayed with Daniela for the second time because everything is just beautiful and you feel completely comfortable. It doesn't get any better🥰

Right in front of the lake.. Has a little patio where you can have your coffee. Peaceful. has a dual heater and a/c unit that works great for quick temperature changes.

We had a fantastic stay! The place was exactly as described: clean, comfortable, and inviting. The water pressure and hot water were excellent, and the bed was super comfy. The views were absolutely amazing and made our mornings and evenings extra special. The location was perfect, just a short, easy drive into central Menaggio. Riccardo was an incredibly friendly and responsive host, which made everything smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Amazing and very clean waterfront apartment. Google maps don’t show accurate directions so I recommend using Apple Maps, our host was very helpful to get us to the right address. The boat station (that you take to go everywhere) is only a few min away, the area is very safe, walkable and has lots of cool spots nearby - cafes, shops, everything. Kitchen is well stocked with high quality pots, dishes and supplies. Hot shower, and washing machine were very nice.

Such an amazing place right at the lake side, so peaceful & beautiful. Apartment was clean, tidy, very bright, we enjoyed big windows. Chirping of the birds early morning while having coffee on the terrace was music for our ears. We celebrated mini honeymoon here & did not regret. Only thing we regret is not staying longer. Thanks Mattia!

The view was phenomenal! the residence was clean and full of amenities. would DEFINITELY come back to Michele’s apartment!

great place and super friendly host

Perfect place in the most beautiful part of this town

Just brilliant! One of the best places we stayed in across our 3 mths in Europe!! For Lake Como it was absolutely perfect! Very highly recommended indeed!!

I stayed in this beautiful apartment with friends to celebrate an important milestone. The view from the house is absolutely spectacular and falling asleep with the swaying of the sea was unique. Special thanks go to Elena, who is always present, attentive and super helpful... thank you very much. Highly recommended

Such a beautiful apartment with plenty of space for our family and all the amenities we could have needed. Great location too, with a short walk to all the local restaurants, bars and cafes. Would absolutely book this apartment again and wish we could take it wherever we next go on holiday!

We felt very comfortable from the beginning. The view is fantastic. Not so close to the coastal road, but also not too high. Didn't need a car all week. 2 euros for the bus to Genoa, or Sankt Margarita is also casual. I guess this won't be the last time with Carlo and Lucia. Very nice, thank you

Maltide’s place was lovely. Only a minutes walk to the center of the old town, it was a peaceful refuge after a hike. Clean, comfortable, efficient with all the modern updates. Queen bed was very comfortable with a ensuite bathroom and large closet, quality hangars and generous shelf space. The kitchen is small, but very efficient and complete with all necessary utensils & dishes in well maintained condition. Included was fresh, good quality olive oil, 2 types of vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, and a couple of laundry detergent pods. The small clothes washer worked great. Apt has very good lighting throughout and a well placed full length mirror. A/C, WiFi, water pressure and temperature all excellent. Once we mistook the switch for the on-demand gas heater for a light switch, so lost hot water, but corrected it quickly. The only issue we found is the unit is a 4-floor walkup, which would be difficult for the mobility impaired. We would definitely stay here on our next trip!

We had a wonderful stay, great location, modern amenities, everything you need. Beach only 5 min away, great shopping, great pool. Markus was always available and was very helpful the whole time
