Divina Vita Apartments

Outstanding location right on the lake edge! Well kitted out apartment with an en-suite bathroom, kitchenette, seating & dining space & a lovely small balcony offering fabulous views. Bar Il Molo, just below, is perhaps the most popular place in Varenna. Always busy, but no disturbance to the apartment. Very courteous staff and a special mention of Sina, the Hospitality Manager. So hardworking and hospitable! Sina, Mala & Team, thank you so much for everything that you did for us and made our stay so enjoyable

Location was fabulous- just above the Bar il Molo, but any bar noise settled down by the time we went to bed so wasn’t a bother. Lovely apartment- well appointed and kitted out with everything we needed. We sat in the little balcony with either lunch or dinner and watched the world go by below. Sina, the host, is amazing with his communication and assistance in so many ways. Our 3 nights here were delightful (and we were so grateful for the aircon while Italy was having a heatwave!). Also, 2 things I highly recommend in the area- the climb up to the castle for the history and the views is well worth it. And then go for a swim just below the Royal Victoria Hotel to cool off!

Just be aware of 2 things- the parking is non existent in Varenna, so you have to park in the visitors’ white spaces 0.5km away and walk into the town. There is a multi storey carpark but it’s €3 for the first hour then €2 from then on. We used it for an hour just to be slightly closer when arriving with our luggage. 2nd thing- there is a spiral staircase up to the bedroom, which didn’t bother us but worth being aware.

Best location in Varenna. Breakfast included was very nice,and being able to sit in the cafe overlooking the lake before the crowds arrived was great. The concierge who took care of our check in was over the top helpful. Great and check-in and out, helped with dinner reservations . Available to answer any questions we had.

Nothing much to say……if the balcony had been a little bigger….but not an issue.

The apartment Is in an unbeatable location with Bar Molo just downstairs for meals and gelato. The multi-level parking structure is in an easy walking distance and we were able to roll our carryons upon our checkout to the parking. When check in, Sina was so kind to meet us and helped carrying luggage and showed us the path that do not involve steep steps. The rooms were cleaned daily meticulously. The view of the lake was just marvelous and we watched the lake and mountains from the room during sunrise and sunset time. Daily drinking water bottles were supplied on a complimentary basis. The room was soundproofed very well.

There was a tree just in front of the balcony extending from the living room. Top branches grew and partially blocked the view when we stayed. Trimming the branches about 6 feet from top would have given us entirely unblocked view. Not a big problem because there were three other windows we could view outside through.

The location and the quality of the room, and the service offered by Sina! He was very helpful!

Nothing

We absolutely loved our stay here in Varenna! Customer service - from Sina was incredible. From before we even checked in he was extremely helpful. He organised taxis and booked dinner for us as well. We had issues with the trains and Sina was so kind to help us sort this with the taxi. He is a genuinely kind person and his customer service was fantastic. Rooms - we loved the loft room. It had a cute balcony with a view of the lake that we enjoyed sitting on and watching the sunset! Everything was incredibly clean and there was so much space. If you had mobility issues getting upstairs to the bed may be a bit difficult in the spiral stairs but otherwise we had no issues with it. Location - was perfect, you could walk out and easily be on the lake side, it was also a quick walk to the ferry and 15-20 euro ride in a taxi to the train station. Breakfast - was lovely to sit beside the lake! I am celiac and they catered gluten free for me which was appreciated. Overall we had a wonderful stay and were super happy we booked here!

No complaints!

The apartment was light, spacious, and luxurious on the lake’s edge at Varenna. The air conditioning was welcome in the heat, the balcony to share the sunsets; everything was so comfortable.

The access with suitcases: Don’t walk from the station - get a taxi!

The private balcony with a view and table for two! Lots of water, fruit and fantastic breakfasts. Also, our host Sina made great suggestions as well as helped us lug our 4 bags up and down a steep cobblestone roadway. Advice on timing, restaurants and other local information…

Not really as it was a beautiful place and a wonderful stay. We plan to return in the future!

Sina was very quick to meet us and he took us to our place.
