Blue House Varenna

Such a lovely place. Alexa couldn't do more to help us have a wonderful time.

Nothing!!

Highly recommend this place. Best apartment we have ever stayed at anywhere in Europe. The host/owner Alexa is very responsive on Whatsapp and gave us all the required info in advance of our trip. The evening we reached Varenna it was pouring rain so Alexa kindly offered to pick us up from the train station and drove us to her place. She helped us with the check in and took the time to show us every detail in the apartment. The apartment itself is perfect and very well equipped. The bedroom has a queen bed and a single bed which was perfect for our family of 3. The living area and kitchen had everything we needed and more: APARTMENT AMENITIES: - Bathroom slippers for each guest and lots of towels - Great coffee machine with pods for 2 kinds of coffee and hot chocolate which my son loved. Many tea options and well equipped modern kitchen for cooking. - Complimentary welcome drinks and water bottles in the fridge. - Detergent pods provided for using the washing machine and dishwasher onsite. There is also a Laundry within a 5 mins walk if you want to do bigger washing loads and need dryers. - Toys for little kids - Beach mats and towels available to use for free - Small patio outside room - Airconditioning in both rooms - Blackout blinds in bedroom - Good sized closet with safe - Modern bathroom with hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, and make-up wipes, hair dryer - Booklet with all info one might need from booking taxis to tour options and all Villas in the area and ferry schedule - EXCELLENT LOCATION - Super close to everything. 20 mins walk or 5 mins drive from train station to apartment. 2 mins to Villa Monestera and Villa Cipressi. Steps to Lovers walk and restaurants and shops along the waterfront. 10 min walk to ferry terminal. Takeout pizza place right across. Steps to main piazza which has a fantastic bakery and restaurants. Alexa runs a getalo store in the piazza which I highly recommend!!! Amazing gelato and other treats.

Absolutely nothing!

The key combination was provided to us in a timely manner, but the owner Alexa also showed up there.

I have nothing bad to say about the Blue House Varenna. Good location, clean and spacious for two of us. But I would like to mention our host Alexa and I want to give her 10 out of 10. She has been very helpful in every aspect of our staying in Varenna. We found out at end of our trip that she actually lives outside of Varenna, but she stayed late to greet us on the evening we arrived and came early in the morning when we needed to store the luggage. She noticed us there would be a strike on the day we scheduled to checkout, helped us to booking another hotel to stay one more night. Imaging without her advanced notice and help, we could be caught in a big surprise and end up sleeping in the train station or somewhere! 😒

The property was located right at the heart of Varenna which is itself centrally located on the shores of Lake Como with good ferry / train connections to other parts of the Lake and the wider region. The host Alexa communicated very effectively and was very friendly, accessible and attentive to our needs throughout our stay.

Lack of supermarket in Varenna - had to travel to the next town.

Très bel accueil, le logement est très bien et bien situé, nous recommandons!

A wonderful apartment in an excellent central location. The apartment was spacious, beautifully designed, spotless, and very well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Our host Alexa was lovely, helpful, and made us feel right at home. We would highly recommend this place.

All was good ..

De locatie was perfect. Veel bezienswaardigheden lopend vanuit de locatie. Dichtbij het station. Erg schoon. Ook drankjes, koekjes, koffie en thee aanwezig. Het bed en de slaapbanken lagen prima. Alexa was altijd makkelijk bereikbaar bij vragen.

Het was perfect. Alleen de binnenplaats was niet zonnig.

Everything about staying at Blue House Varenna was excellent. The location, the facilities, our host. It was a comfortable and spacious apartment, very central but up a quiet side street and with everything we needed. I had to go to the hospital at one point and Alexa organised everything, and later checked in on us with a gift. I'm not sure what we would have done without her!
