La Casetta Varenna

I'm a level 3 user on booking.com and I can pretty much say hands-down that this stay is one of the best I have ever had during my travels. The cottage is a lovely little place just outside Lierna, getting into Varenna. It is best accessed by car or taxi. The house is absolutely lovely and is at the lakeshore just as advertised. The rooms were neat, clean and well prepared. Two bathrooms (one each on the upper floors - the top one was a shower stall which was useful) and a washbasin on the ground floor. The kitchen (open plan on the ground floor) was well stocked with utensils and even some complimentary items to get us going. The house is a 10 min walk from the local cafe and grocers (Il Buon Gusto) and we enjoyed going there a few times for a coffee and to pick up some nice breads, pasta and pesto. Parking is ample enough for one car. We really regretted having to leave the place :(

Nothing really! This property deserves its exceptional rating. The hosts could consider adding some directions on local hikes etc. (the maps available from the local signboards for the easy hikes nearby were not that great).

Loved everything about this stay! Amazing location, waking up to the magnificent view everyday was the highlight. If the goal is for a slow and relaxed vacation, away from the buzz of the city and crowd, then this setting is perfect! The hosts were very kind, proactive and always available and open to questions.

Can’t think of anything.

The structure is impeccably clean, and situated in a location convenient to Varenna and Lierna. The parking arrangement is very practical and nicely situated. We enjoyed walking nearly everywhere we wanted to go during our stay in the area. The responsiveness of the host was notable.

No suggestions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great location on lake with private access to lake.
