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.

Heike, Stuttgart

The apartment is very nice, I felt comfortable from the first moment on. The view from the balcony is stunning, it feels like being in a picture postcard. The kitchen offers everything one needs, the bathroom is very nice and modern, and the bed is comfortable. Savina is a great host, always helpful for any questions. A perfect stay!


Saskia, Paris

The views from the apartment are magnificent, the apartment itself is perfectly arranged. And Savina was a wonderfully welcoming host. 10 out of 10 and we’d love to come back!


Richard, Leeds

This is a magical place with a stupendous panoramic view across the lake and mountains, which has to be seen to be believed. The balcony and windows get the sun all afternoon and face the evening sunsets. The apartment is really well equipped and is spacious and stylish with high ceilings and tall windows. There is also a beach directly below where you can swim in the lake or sit in the afternoon sun. Savina is a very warm welcoming and helpful efficient host. It is in a lovely quiet village with scenic walks and cycle routes nearby and a short walk to Varenna which is a beautiful town.


Fiona, Ballarat, Australia

On entering the apartment we truly thought we were in paradise. The views, the peace. Words will never describe what the eye will see. So much to do, or so little! Fantastic walks, places to visit by ferry or train. A wonderful experience.


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.
