Casa Camelia Varenna

Location! Also staff were lovely.

Some basic maintenance needed. Wardrobe door hinge was broken, shower didn’t drain properly, pillows were flat and need replacing

Modern tiszta fantasztikus jó helyen,közel mindenhez!

We stayed at Casa Camelia. Property itself is very good. Relatively new with nice decor and a firm bed. The location is also good with an easy walk to the town centre and ferry terminal. However, the wifi worked poorly, and during a rain storm, not at all. This is more than just a minor inconvenience these days and was very frustrating. As well, there are two bars within a 25 metre radius which have outdoor patios. There was an unreasonable amount of noise which echo’ed into our room which kept us awake two of four nights until about 1:30AM. Obviously this is not under the control of Varenna Holidays however I would not book this suite again because of these two mentioned issues.

This was a great stay for a last minute booking we did on our trip to Lake Como. It was perfect for two people wanting to explore the general area by taking day trips. It had all the basics and felt great to walk out and be in close proximity to the ferry port, train station and places to eat. Communication was also great and we appreciated the attention from the agency. We recommend this place if you don’t have a “hotel experience” expectation.

Great location to take day trips on the ferry.

It had a good amount of space.

It stunk in there. On arrival the windows were open and the Aircon on - we know why - it’s damp!!! It was extremely damp - even the bedding felt damp and the towels wouldn’t dry. We had to ask for new towels and bedding and change it ourselves. It was so bad we had to have the windows open all day and the Aircon on de-humidifier and the bathroom fan on - all day - and it was still terrible. When we contacted them about it initially they said it was due to the last visitors having hot showers without the tan??? They know it is damp in there and they act like it’s not. On the last day we needed some toilet paper and the host wouldn’t provide this and told us we needed to go buy our own. We spent over $300 AUD here per night and they couldn’t provide a roll of toilet paper?! The wifi doesn’t work and you will have no phone reception in there. They gave us a new wifi modem which was a little better but not great. We had ants all over the wall. There are no blinds on the front door so light is streaming in all night from the street lights (they are aware this is an issue from other reviews). The location is central but very loud - people right outside your windows most of the day and night. All of this is on other reviews but it was worse than we could have imagined. Terrible experience. Would never stay here again.

Poor internet
