• Peter (8/5): -
• Gillian (9/5): - View from apartment was fantastic and proximity to Varenna was great, where there were plenty of restaurants to choose from. The fast road outside the apartment, although there was a path off the road via the village which avoided the pathless road section.
• Krisma (10/5): Amazing place :) - The best stay I've ever had. The host was so wonderful, the apartment is so beautiful. It has everything you could need. The view from the windows were exceptional. I could find nothing wrong with the stay.
• Nathan (10/5): Just a wonderful and cozy stay - Was so clean and the apartment had a beautiful feel about it. Perfect location
• Jovita (10/5): Exceptional - Loved everything about this place, cozy apartment with unique style not far from Varenna, view from the apartment is beautiful and the host is very pleasant and helpful!
• Min (10/5): We stayed at Namaste Apartment Fiumellatte for five nights and had a memorable and enjoyable stay - We stayed at Namaste Apartment Fiumellatte for five nights and had a memorable and enjoyable stay. There are two highlights of this apartment. First, it is in a great location, this flat is located in Fiumellate which is just a 20-minute walk to Varenna, one of the three golden triangles places for visiting Lake Como. The famous Milky River waterfull is nearby, and you can step up the mountain to see the water source easily. In addition, several other attractions can be reached on foot. The balcony and windows of the apartment have a direct view of the lake, which is amazing. In terms of transportation, this place is very convenient for traveling by train. There is an express train from Milan to Varenna, or you can take a local train from Lecco to get off at Fiumellatte. Fiumellatte station is just a few minutes walk from the apartment. Fiumellatte station is at a remote location, but the scenery is unique. If you drive by car, please note that there is no parking space allocated for the apartment. According to our observation, there are several parking places nearby where you can park from 8pm to 8am, but there are restrictions on daytime parking, which can only be parked for a maximum of 2 hours. You need ask the owner for more info on parking if you travel by car. The second highlight is that the owner of the apartment, Stefano, is very kind and helpful. Our train from Milan was delayed several times. When we arrived in Varenna station it was quite late. When we saw the owner who took the initiative to drive to the train station to pick us up, we felt that our fatigue disappeared. You feel you got someone to support you when you need. In addition, the apartment itself is spacious and the decoration style is unique, full of exotic atmosphere. You have complete living supplies with the flat. The only thing is that if the bedroom lights could be adjustable to be brighter as it is a little dim for us. None.
• Helen (10/5): Stefano the host was so kind; he picked us up at the pier after the ferry. - Beautiful views and fun streets to explore. Look for the waterfalls. Decent walk into town but perfect for after dinner; aides in digestion.
• Sonja (10/5): Exceptional - The View 😍
• Thair (8/5): Very good -
• Rungkaew (9/5): Nice room with a lake view for a family trip + nice owner - Definitely a good choice for the lake view nearby Varenna. In the morning, you could have a 20-min walk to Varenna, but you should take a train back at night. The best thing was a very helpful owner. He was very responsive and very helpful. The check-in was easy. You just tell him in advance you are coming and he will wait to greet you. I couldn't find the way out from the train station, so I wrote him and he came to help me from the train station. He also helped drive me and my family to Varenna train station after check-out. Very very supportive! The room was warm and comfy. Although it is not a new room, it has the charm of an old building. The room was also spacious. The shower worked well and you could do laundry a bit if needed. This apartment is super close to Fiumelatte train station. But if you have big luggage, you SHOULD get off at Varenna (the next station) and take a taxi or ask the owner to pick you up. Fiumelatte station is surrounded by darkness at night. It was hard to find the way out and there are numerous stairs waiting for you. Another thing is about the towels. Fresh towels were provided, but the smell has a room for improvement.
• Cheryl (9/5): Superb - Good location just outside Varenna, 15-20 picturesque walk into town but along a highway with narrow shoulder/sidewalk. Excellent coffee provided by host! A tip for those arriving by train: Be aware that the express train from Milan to Varenna doesn’t stop at train station Fiumelatte, which is the one closest to AirBnb. For that, we took a regional train from Milan Centrale and changed in Lecco, then hopped off at Fiumelatte which is a short walk down to the AirBnb. There is no vehicle access to the Fiumelatte train station, so if you have mobility issues, you’ll be challenged dragging your carry-on or suitcase down the equivalent of 4+ flights of stairs (mostly gravel and grass) and it won’t be pleasant in hot or rainy weather. Not the fault of Namaste AirBnb, but would’ve been helpful for us to know as it was confusing to figure out which train station to book. If driving by car you’ll have no problem. There’s a Michelin-rated restaurant right next door but it was closed on Sunday when we would’ve liked to eat there. The bathroom and bedroom lighting was dim. Could be brighter. Also, we couldn’t find any spoons, forks or knives anywhere in the kitchen. Fortunately we didn’t need it for our stay but would’ve been a problem if we did.
• Natali (9/5): Superb -
• Stylianos (10/5): Everything was great, just keep in mind one thing if you plan to stay for more than one night, the city is 20’ on foot a - Very clean, comfortable and spacious! Everything is new in the apartment! The owner met us personally fir the check-in. Very beautiful view of the lake especially from the balcony!!
• Julie (9/5): Superb -
• Daniel (8/5): Ideal for a trip to Varenna - Great location in order to walk to varenna. Great host and communication. View is AMAZING. The balcony overlooking the lake on an evening is perfect. Slightly noisy at times with the restaurant below especially when closing at night and also some noise from the road.
• Pravesh (10/5): Lovely charming apartment for a family stay and maginficant and stunning views - This is the perfect location for any family as its close to varennaas, walking distance of 12 minutes and breathtaking views of lake Como from your windows and galarie. This is close to Bellagio and other towns in lake come. There is a waterfall just 2 minutes away from this location and you have a lake como beach in front of you if you want to take a dip and kids want to play. This is really tastefully decorated and renovated apartment and Stefano is a gem of a host. Stefano hasnt touched the old charm of the apartment but added modern amenities and blends so well with this apartment. Stefano has went beyond being a good host and when there were no restaurents open as we reached late sunday evening, he didnt hesitated to drop us to Varenna for some food. same on the checkout day, as we were struggling to get the taxi he dropped us to the station to catch a train. We travelled by train from Milan and got down at fiumalatte with luggage. The fiumalatte station isnt very luggage friendly and it was bit of workout as you need to get down few stairs flights to reach to the apartment. so if you are taking train I suggest getting down at Varenna and using taxi to reach apartment or Car would be the best way.
• Pravesh (8/5): Worth stay - This flat is in beautiful location. You can see the view of the lake from all the windows of the property. Absolutely amazing. The owner is so helpful and helped us a lot entire time. There are 2 waterfall left and right side of this place on walking distance literally made my trip. Beautiful view of the lake from everywhere and swimming area on walking distance.
• Chris (10/5): A Lake Como gem - This was a great place to stay with breath taking views over the lake and to the backdrop mountains. The apartment was spacious and stylish. It was located outside the busy area of Varenna, with easy access to off road tracks, so a perfect place to be.The Fiumelatte train station was a short walk away. The .main draw back was a road noise as the apartment was situated on the main road into Varenna. The surrounding roads were not pedestrian friendly with very little space for walking.
• Ruth (1/5): Bad - We were very disappointed with the flat. It is located directly on the main road around the lake. Around the clock, motorbikes, lorries and ambulances drive next to the window so loudly that you can hardly sleep. Worse, however, is the musty odour in the flat. The towels and bed linen are smelly and the area behind the house is permanently damp. The windows overlooking the lake can hardly be opened because otherwise it gets much too hot and is even louder. The fridge was still full of old things, the bed for our son was not made, the host arrived 15 minutes later to hand over the keys etc
• Rachael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marilla (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, good size and nice kitchen.
• Neslihan (10/5): Would love to go back and spend more time there. - Very nice house with periodic features, fantastic views, location is close to botanical gardens ( Villa Monastero and Villa Cipressi) and Castle of Vezio. Stefano is an excellent host ready to help. I would love to go back and stay there again. Nothing
• Ketan (8/5): Very good -
• Kaya (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect. Amazing view and lots of facilities. Very comfy and peaceful stay Only two plug sockets that could fit a uk adaptor
• Jan (8/5): Enjoyed our stay and Lake Como area is very beautiful. - Beautiful views of Lake Como Quirky very comfortable accommodation with everything we needed. Enjoyed having a balcony to sit out on. Lack of local information for English speaking tourists. Walking only access for the local Fiumelatte train station was challenging as there is no vehicle access.
