Villa Lisander

Transport problem whom have his own transport for them better

A rather rare place for four adults with two queen beds. The view is quite impressive, and the amenities of a furnished home suited out needs. Two of our party arrived in town by train, and two by automobile. Traffic was much worse than expected the afternoon of our arrival, and it was IMPOSSIBLE to get timely taxi/Uber service from the train station. The property manager worked with us to arrange key pick after regular hours. Quiet location and a washing machine were definite pluses. Our first ever visit to Lake Como, we enjoyed our stay in the region.

Ironic take: No one comes here anymore; it's too crowded. Varenna was much more crowded than we expected (not in management's control). Impossible to get a taxi from the train station for 2 hours! (not in management's control). The house met our needs. The house has a great view from the lanai but no so much from inside. (Blame the architect.) Things management could work on The dining room lighting is really poor. Definitely add a coffee grinder and maybe add more basic kitchen equipment. Operating the TV was impossible, so we just gave up. (Better instructions maybe?)

Amazing view at the lake, very clean and tidy place with a lot of kitchen supplies for those who want to cook. The neighbourhood is pleasant, there's a nice garden and a terrace. We needed a taxi and the host provided us with some good options. The host also helped with the questions we had at hand.

The place is not precisely in Varenna so you'd need to walk there. The walk is fine at daytime (takes around 45 min), however you'd need a taxi or a car to go back at night since the route is alongside a busy road. We couldn't connect to Netflix since there was an issue with the TV but it wasn't critical since we spent most of our time outside anyways. There were some small ants coming from the outside at first but the host set up ant traps which helped for the most part.

Clean in and out . the View, outdoor space to hang out, grill and chill. private parking, good WI-FI.

The beds were very hard and uncomfortable .Toppers are needed. There was a lot of ants in kitchen area ( trail on side of home I noticed should be exterminated) .refrigerator not cold enough, no ice trays. There is no air but we knew about this before we booked. Adequate screening in all windows made it cool at night and a few portable fans. Driveway very steep. Felt safe in the home…..

Great location and views. Well furnished. Finding the place was a bit tricky.

Aircon or ceiling fans are needed these days.
