The Experience

This 17th-century fisherman’s house couldn’t be in a more peaceful village setting. Two wonderful bright apartments make up the top floor, while the owner Savina lives downstairs. She’s done everything to make guests feel at home; she’s cleverly combined the original charm of a beautiful old building with delightful modern touches.

Beamed ceilings, light walls, chandeliers and original floors are interspersed with splashes of colour: abstract paintings, modern furnishings, bold bed linens. Kitchens are well equipped. Bedrooms are simple but nicely done, some with balconies overlooking the water. You really have it all because the views are spectacular – and the sunsets! Spend the day lazing on the beach below, or, if you’re feeling active, get in a boat and out onto the lake.

Romantic Varenna is a 15-minute walk from the village (take care, the roads are narrow), you can sit out on the waterfront or tramp the cobbled streets.

Reviews

It's a big wow..sitting on the balcony overlooking the lake with your morning coffee or evening drink, is unbelievable. With views like this and everything for self catering you might be tempted not to leave, but please go and explore. A ferry from Varenna can take you to all the main lakeside towns. Savina's local knowledge and recommendations are excellent, so make sure to ask her.

Diane, High Peak

Exactly as described and shown in pictures. Beautiful views and the sound of the lapping water was so relaxing..Savina was very helpful and friendly. Excellent base to explore all around lake Como. Would recommend!


Susan, Marlborough

A wonderful week in a beautiful setting! Fisherman’s House offers 3 apartments carefully looked after by the welcoming owner. We stayed in apartment 2 with a double and a twin bedroom, well equipped kitchen, and amazing views over Lake Como to Bellagio and Varenna from a pretty balcony. The pebble beach below is perfect after a hot day and we swam every day. Varenna is an easy flat 10 minute lakeside walk and there are good transport links within easy reach on foot. This is the perfect spot to enjoy everything on offer at Lake Como but with a quiet retreat at the end of the day. Loved it!


Alison, Edinburgh

Another delightful stay in this beautiful, light filled, apartment directly on the shores of Lake Como a short walk to Varenna with its cafes and ferry to explore the other towns on the lake. The apartment is well equipped and Savina is a most gracious host. Fall asleep to the waves lapping on the beach below The view from the shower is amazing!


Sandra, London UK

Savina is a delightful host. Her place is light filled, rustic and charming with beautiful views of the lake. The bed was very comfortable (I am quite fussy) and we had the best sleep ever. Varenna is a lovely, quaint village but parking is difficult so we were grateful to have use of Savina’s garage. It is a 15 minute walk to Varenna or 30 minutes on a flower filled woodland path. Savina communicated well with us before and during our stay. She is a warm person and always ready to help.


Location

The neighbourhood

Just across the road is Hosteria Del Platano, a small traditional family-run restaurant with outdoor seating overlooking the lake. Varenna has plenty of shops and two very nice hotels, Hotel du Lac and Hotel Milano for excellent dining. High above you in the hills is a small hamlet called Gittana with a wonderful restaurant – Italian cooking at its very best and Savina can book you a taxi.
