About this apartment rental

Apartment Casa di Mezzo is located in the historic center of Varenna, Lake Como.
Just 60 steps from the lake, so close that you can hear the lapping of the water, the rooms of the apartment overlook two picturesque pedestrian-only paved streets in the heart of the historic center of Varenna.

From this recently renovated apartment, located on the first floor of a 15th century building, you can enjoy a beautiful side view of the lake.
Well furnished with the work of local craftsmen, it is ideal for two / three people.
This cozy and romantic hideaway features a separate bedroom with a queen-size double bed, a sofa bed, shuttered windows and high ceilings.
It has independent heating and a bathroom with shower.
There is a fully equipped, elegant and new kitchen with granite counter tops.
Free Wi-Fi connection
Bar with Internet Point, Shops, Pizzerias, Pharmacies, Bank and much more just 30 meters from the apartment.

The apartment is within walking distance of villas, gardens, ancient churches and delicious restaurants.
Villa Cipressi, built in the 16th century, has terraced gardens that cascade down to the lake.
Its cypresses and wisteria offer a beautiful backdrop for a walk in the gardens.
Nearby, Villa Monastero has been called the most interesting point on the eastern shore of Lake Como.
It was a 16th century abbey, originally a spiritual retreat for Cistercian nuns who were then hunted for their overly enthusiastic way of enjoying the beauty of the lake. The garden of the Villa, rich in sculptures and splendid architectural elements, is considered one of the best in Italy.
La Passerella, or lakefront, enjoys a splendid view of the old fishing village and the opposite bank.
A walk along the catwalk at sunset can be an unforgettable experience.
In the square stands the fourteenth-century church of San Giorgio, built on an ancient temple.
This parish church has a characteristic round bell tower made of red brick whose bells can be heard throughout the country.
In the square there is also the Medieval Church of San Giovanni Battista (built in 1208), one of the oldest on the lake.

Great location just steps from the Lake and an easy walk from Varenna square and the public parking garage. Clean, well equipped apartment with easy arrival and use. Only drawback was we were there during heatwave and there is no air conditioning. The fan was helpful but the area is fairly noisy in the evening with the windows open, which is likely the situation for most apartments in this area.

We stayed at Maria's apartment in Varenna for a week and had everything we needed. The location and the apartment are lovely, surrounded by good restaurants and close to the ferries and train sation. Also, the apartment was very clean and the bed very comfortable. Varenna is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been (and we travel a lot!) We highly recommend Maria's and Varenna for an authentic and charming visit to Italy.

Maria was a wonderful host. The little lakeside town of Varenna is a very place and we will always have fond memories of our stay there. The apartment was perfect for just us 2 and the small details made it feel like home. We toured the lake by boat and visited Bellagio as well. In our opinion, staying in Varenna was absolutely the best option and everything was perfect Grazie Mille

Maria and Pietro were outstanding hosts, picking up and dropping off at the station, prompt emailing prior to arrival, and providing a beautiful apartment. It was well appointed and maintained and so close to many restaurants, cafes and a few steps from Lake Como. Their suggestions for things to see and do was well researched and documented in a folder. We even went to Switzerland by train for the day! The apartment was as depicted on the website and met all expectations. Varenna allowed us time to relax and enjoy where we were and each night we sat by the lake watching the sun set. We also explored other nearby villages and the ferry rides were a great way to travel. Thank you for welcoming us and we have come home with many lovely memories of our time in Varenna and Italy.

We cannot say enough great things about this place! The Case di Mezzo experience was one of a kind. Maria and Ester were so helpful and willing to assist in any way they could. They picked us up at the train station and gave us a driving tour of Varenna. It is a small, quaint, beautiful town - one of our favorite stops on our trip of Italy. There is a view out of a side window of Lake Como which was enough for us as we did not spend much time in the apartment. The location was perfect for getting around town. We were within a minute walk of most restaurants which included a view of the lake. Be sure to check out The Nilus Bar restaurant. It was our favorite and we ate there two of our three nights! We also took a 5 minute stroll on the passerella (promenade) to the ferry passing by my favorite gelato place in town (Gelateria Riva). If you are interested in hiking, we walked all around Varenna and saw a beautiful fresh water spring, soccer field, and the famous castle in town. This was a few hours of hiking, but well worth the spectacular views. Maria and Ester have a beautiful place with wifi, a kitchen, and a bedroom. We were so pleased with our stay that we even recommended it to my parents! Unfortunately, it was booked during their trip to Italy. Please note they take cash upon arrival. There is a bank in town, but we came with the money so as to not worry about a bank. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
