Wir können nur dringend von einer Anmietung dieser Wohnung abraten: 1. Der WC-Sitz war/ist locker. Die Toilette ist alt und verdreckt.2. Der Duschschlauch war undicht.3. Es fehlte der Sonnenschirm, was ein erhebliches Problem darstellte. Faktisch war es uns ab 12:30 Uhr nicht mehr möglich, auf der Terasse zu sitzen.4. Die Wohnung hat 5 (!!!) WasserglĂ€ser fĂŒr 4 Personen. Wein- oder BierglĂ€ser sind ĂŒberhaupt nicht vorhanden!5. Die Wohnung ist insgesamt wirklich in keinem guten Zustand und damit dem gezahlten Preis nicht angemessen (siehe Fotos). 6. Wir wussten nicht, wo wir mit dem MĂŒll hin sollten!8. Rund um die Wohnung war der AuĂenbereich sehr ungepflegt (siehe Fotos).9. Die TerassenstĂŒhle konnte man nur nutzen, wenn man ein Handtuch untergelegt hat. Wir wissen auch nicht warum, aber den Kontakt mit der Haut hat bei allen von uns einen krĂ€ftigen Juckreiz ausgelöst. Es fehlt Sitzauflagen fĂŒr die StĂŒhle.Ein Kontakt mit dem Vermieter ist nicht möglich gewesen. Lt. Fewo direkt hat er sĂ€mtliche ErsatzansprĂŒche abgelehnt.Wie gesagt, wir können nur dringend von einer Anmietung der Wohnung abraten und hoffen, dass diese Rezension andere Urlauber schĂŒtzen wird!
Det som var positivt var utsikten som var tilgjengelig sÄ lenge man sto oppreist, kort vei til togstasjon (lokaltog), kort vei til flere smÄ badeplasser og gangavstand til Varenna (1600 meter). Det var dessverre mange ting Ä utsette. Det fantes ikke noe matbutikk eller bakeri i Fiumelatte, slik det var opplyst. NÊrmeste supermarked var i Lierna, 7 km. unna. Leiligheten var svÊrt skuffende. Liten, og absolutt ikke plass til seks personer! Oppvaskmaskinen fungerte ikke. Vanskelig dialog med utleier, men etter fire dager fikk vi en ny. Sengene var knirkete, harde og bevegelige, slik at det var svÊrt forstyrrende Ä sove to i samme seng. Det var mugg pÄ veggen som stinket. Mye maur pÄ gulvet i flere rom. Verandaen var stor men dÄrlig mÞblert. Kun et simpelt bord og fire stoler som vi fikk klÞe av Ä sitte i. Ingen solstoler som beskrevet. Heldigvis var det en liten, halvt Þdelagt parasoll. Det var ingen rengjÞring pÄ ti dager og det var ingen rengjÞringsredskaper slik at vi kunne gjÞre det selv. Ingen informasjon om sÞppeltÞmming. Meget dÄrlig internett. StrÞmmen ble borte i leiligheten, og vi fikk ikke kontakt med utleier fÞr dagen etter, slik at den var borte i ca. 15 timer.
The location and view from the terrace were wonderful, the garage and elevator were appreciated. However there were many things that needed to be improved. The dish washer didn't work, the freezer was completely frosted over, the shower had mold in the corners and on the shower door and there were spiders and cob webs
and the shower drain was very slow and we stood in several inches of water when using the shower, the chairs on the terrace left a white film on our clothing, the wall in one of the bedrooms was being repaired and the dust from sanding wasn't even swept up. This apartment could be very nice, but in really needs to be updated and taken care of better. If it doesn't get taken care of, we would never recommend it. We don't think we got our money's worth.
Nice apartment with a large terrace with a beautiful view over the lake and mountains.
We missed a parasol on the terrace so bring our own.
The apartment is good and clean, itâs equipped with was is needed and not more.
Tip, if you want to go for dinner in Varenna? Book a table, we was standing in queue to get a table.
From the apartment you walk to Varenna, there is about 2,5 km. But be aware, you need to drive to get to a supermarket. We found a small rocky beach 200 meters from the apartment, so you can easily get a swim.
I will recommend the apartment.
Nice view is the only positive. The host was totally and with no reason unfriendly. The beds are horrible the shower uncomfortable. The wifi is terrible very low speed. The parking is horrible as well.
Great location and beautiful patio roof with a stunning view of the lake! It was overall clean and our only issue was getting the wifi to work consistently.
This location was incredibly beautiful and away from the crowds. Easy walk to Varenna and very local and friendly. Easy to get to from train station and the lake was stunning!
This apartment is in a great location - beautiful view of the lake from the large rooftop deck and an easy, flat mile walk to Varenna. My only advice is to be prepared to purchase some necessities as we had no dishwashing soap, paper towels, and a very limited amount of toilet paper ( 1 roll - 4 adults for 5 nights). We did thoroughly enjoy our time at the lake and I would stay here again.
Die Lage und der Blick dieser FeWo waren sehr schön und wir konnten zu Fuà nach Varenna gehen, ein Bahnhof befand sich auch in der NÀhe, um andere Ortschaften zu erkunden, man muss also nicht mit dem Auto los;
Jedoch gab es gleich am Anreisetag Probleme bei der Garagenplatzsuche in der Tiefgarage, da nicht genau die App.-Nr. ersichtlich war; unter den angegebenen Telefonnummern konnten wir um 16Uhr am Anreisetag leider keinen erreichen, auch nicht die Hausmeisterin;
Im GeschirrspĂŒler befand sich nicht gespĂŒltes, sehr schmutziges Geschirr;
Beim Ausziehen des Doppelbettsofas im Wohn-Essbereich fanden wir sehr viel Schmutz darunter und auch die Matratze sah sehr eklig aus;
Der Toilettendeckel war aus der Halterung rausgerissen, somit sehr locker, wenn man darauf saĂ, deshalb waren wir gezwungen, dies selber zu reparieren;
Die HandtĂŒcher waren sehr sauber, jedoch sind es nicht DuschhandtĂŒcher gewesen, sondern kleinere HandtĂŒcher und die weiteren jeweils 2."HandtĂŒcher"sind eigentlich fĂŒr FuĂboden als Duschvorlage bekannt und viel zu klein zum Abtrocknen;
Wir hoffen, dass wir mit unserem Beitrag geholfen haben, den Gesamteindruck dieser eigentlich schönen FeWo darzustellen und dass alle diese MÀngel beseitigt werden, damit noch viele weitere Urlauber dort ihren Urlaub verbringen werden.
Mit freundlichen GrĂŒĂen

An amazing view, with a mountain spring outside the kitchen window!
The apartment is clean, well equipped, and the view and deck are amazing. After a long day of flight and trains, we arrived to a welcome of champagne, coffee, milk, and snacks. I can't say anything negative about the apartment, except that you definitely need to take a cab from the train station, unless you want to lug your luggage for 4 miles. Also, it is about 1 1/2 miles outside of Varenna, so be prepared to walk a bit. That being said, the place is absolutely amazing with privacy, views, and a very clean, tasteful, large, and well stocked place. We loved it!!
