Apartment with breathtaking view over the lake, no car needed
The flagship of Casa dellâArco is the breathtaking view over the Lake Como. Casa dellâArco is located in the heart of Varenna, a true urban example of the old Italian villages. Except the main street crossing the village, all others are pedestrian stairs ways (contrada) that bring you down to the lake, ideal for children. The apartment is on top of the building, on two floors and outside the living room are two balconies. The interiors are stylish and modern and the apartment has been completely restored in early 2010. The lake is 20 meters far and in 5â of pleasant walk along the lake you reach the ferry dock. The train station is only 10' far. Close to the apartment are : pharmacy, grocery, butcher, bank, restaurants and bars. Casa dellâArco is the ideal location to live the unique atmosphere of Varenna that will make your holiday unforgettable.
We had a great time ! The view from the balcony is AMAZING! Such a pleasure to have a coffee there every morning (even though there is space for 2 persons only).
The apartment is nicely renovated and modern. However I canât put a 5/5 because in my opinion it misses a comfortable living-room with coaches and a coffee table to gather with your family/friends. We recommend this nice place!
The key reason to stay here is the location. The space is big enough to host 4-5 adults. However, it is not very comfortable, lacks warmth and accommodating guests. It seems a little dirty or dated. We did not have enough pillows, blankets and towels. There are no amenities such as soap and shampoo to shower. The kitchen is relatively supplied with dishes to prepare meals. It would be nice if when arriving, there are essentials such as bottled water, coffee pods, tea and paper products just to settle in. We had to take an Uber to a store at 6:00pm to pick up supplies for our stay. After a long travel day, it would have been nice to just have a few things there to greet us. The furniture is limited and made it hard to sit in the main space and relax. We did enjoy eating around the main dining table and the views across Lake Como. And again, access to town and the ferry is why you stay here. The light in the bathroom was broken and after contacting Luciana, he sent someone to repair it during the stay. He was responsive to questions but it took a few days each time. Not sure we would stay here again.
In general, the apartment was fine, however many issues added up to make this stay bad.First, there were only sheets for one bed despite it being a 3br apartment. I had the ask the host 4 times for extra linens, which he provided on the last day of our stay. Also, the listing advertises 4 twin beds, there were only 3.Another odd moment happened when a caretaker had to get into the apartment to fix a clogged sink. Iâm thankful the host was able fix the issue on short notice. However, when his assistant apparently arrived at the apartment the host called me and sent me multiple messages asked where I was and saying the assistant could not get in. First, the owner never said I needed to be at the apartment to meet the assistant. Second, the key was in the lockbox the entire time and shouldnât an assistant have a key anyway? It was a strange interaction. More issues:Hot water in the shower only lasts a few minutesNo curtains/shutters on the main bedroom windowYou must have a key to get out of the buildingâs main door, this seems like a fire hazardStains on the pillows and mattressesThe pillows are very thin, not enough provided The towels felt old and cheap
We loved staying at this property. The location and views are absolutely stunning. I would definitely stay here again. We had 5 adults, my husband and our three children in their 20s and the property was great.
The apartment is very nice and spacious. The rooms that are joined with the single beds is a bit small. Best really for children rather than adults. The room in the back is incredibly small but we made it work for our two teenagers.
The front room with the window to the lake is amazing. It would have been nice to have had somewhere to hang clothes in this room, the only place to hang clothes was in the "middle bedroom".
Common areas is very spacious and the balconies were perfect. Highly recommended,
Lovely apartment. Very disappointed about all the stairs but once in the apartment it was breathtaking. Everything we needed for our stay. Perfect location for the square & hotel my son was getting married at.
We loved our stay in this beautiful location. Views of lake Como were stunning. The apt is located close to town center and is a great place to stay. Loved the apt
If youâre staying in Varenna itâs hard to imagine a more beautiful place. Easy access from the train or ferry, incredible views from your private balcony, and plenty of space. Would absolutely stay again!
the apartment is very nice, the view from the main bedroom and balconies from living/dining room is amazing. the pictures are mostly accurate, but keep in mind itâs on the top floor so you have to climb 3 flights of stairs to get into the apartment then another flight after you get in to reach the bathroom and bedrooms.. two of the bedrooms are conjoined together and faces the street so itâs a bit noisy.
Perfect location, fabulous apartment - highly recommend. (Be aware if visiting in summer, as stated in the listing, has fans rather than a/c.) Suited our family of 5 perfectly!
Just the most amazing location. Close to everything and easy to walk in each direction. If you want the view of the lake, this apartment has it. We would happily stay here again.
It was our first time at Lake Como. The lake is beautiful, and Varenna was our favorite village on the lake. This property has some great views over the lake. The apartment was clean and in good condition. There are beds to sleep 6, but the third bedroom is only accessible through the second bedroom. There is also not much of a living area. But we spent most of our time outside in awe of the lake and doing some hiking in the area (the hike up to the castle and paying a small fee to get in is worth it for the views). We ate at Cafe Varenna, La Vista, and Bar Il Molo. All of them were fantastic. We had a small issue with the keys at check in, but they were available for communication and did what they could to help resolve.
Loved our stay in this comfortable apartment. Walking distance to some beautiful eateries, ferry and train station. There are stairs within the apartment and inside the apartment, but they are worth it for the view
Clean and conveniently located property. The communication with the owner was great and the property was easy to find/access. The views were incredible. We would definitely recommend staying here.
Our family recently visited (2 adults + 3 Adult kids) and had the greatest time! The house was beautiful and looks exactly as described. We saw an amazing sunset from the balcony and it is the perfect location to walk down to the waterfront. One thing to note is if we had realized the amount of steps from the train station we probably would have taken a taxi but everyone (including 60 year olds) made it and the steps to the top floor apartment are totally worth the views!
