A spacious apartment with stunning views over Varenna and Lake Como. Well appointed and stocked with cutlery, utensils and so on , and the welcome pack was a nice touch.
The apartment is a little bit showing some wear and tear with a few cracked tiles. The shower sometimes struggled to get warm and the drain needed a good clean.
Main issue we had was with parking. The apartment is listed as having parking which was a must for us S we were on a multi week tour using a rental car. On receiving the pre checkin info it is disclosed that the parking is first come first serve, and not guaranteed.
In several occasions returning to the apartment the parking was full, and we had to park on the narrow road leading to the complex, and this area was also often full. On a couple of occasions we luckily obtained the last spot but saw other guests in the complex unable to park due to unavailability of space. With no other parking available near to the complex this could have been an issue.
The pool area was slightly disappointing, it was at the back of the complex and most of the view is of the apartments, rather than the lake. Maintenance was also a little lacking as the pool shower had a wasp nest in the drain, so clearly hadn’t been used for some time.
Overall a nice apartment with a great view and well located for Varenna, but the lack of guaranteed parking was disappointing.
