This house apartment is fabulous in every way!! It is a lone house on SP72 with TWO terraces that literally hang out over the water of Lake Como. You are utterly private. You don't need to pull any curtains or blinds - just gaze out at the water and mountains and enjoy the sunrise, sunset and lights of distant towns at night while hearing the water lap around you! My daughter, 17, and I stayed 4 nights in March. Perhaps boat traffic goes by more in summer, but nothing went by except seagulls and ducks while we were there. Cars go by on the road, but the entire apartment is oriented toward the water. The windows on the road side are the bathroom and kitchen - not a factor. The kitchen was SO well stocked with pantry items. Our hostess had a basket of fresh fruit for us, and candies, cookies, two soda pops, and bottle of wine with frosted glasses in the freezer and an ICE tray - very rare in Italy! We took a wrong turn out of Lecco (see my tips for getting there, below) and she had to wait for us for an hour and THEN leave the house and meet us outside the church in Varenna and guide us back. But she was gracious and kind through all the phone calls and difficulty and checked with us via text through our stay that everything was OK. There is parking just off the road in front of the house. Then there are two locked gates to go through and a few stairs down to get to the door around the side. We were totally safe. The door one sees from the road is permanently boarded up. The house does not look promising from the road, but it is lovely inside and on the side by the lake. The location is perfect - 5 minutes to Varenna where you can get the ferry to Menaggio or Bellagio. We took our car and drove to several superb villas. My pics of the view don't begin to do it justice. I also included one of how the house looks from the road to help in spotting it, but this picture belies the house's beauty. The "good stuff" of it all faces the lake.

the whirl pool in the room was amazing, the deco in the room too, and the actual room was nice too, with a comfortable bed and fluffy pillows. the whole place looks like a modern fairy tale castle.. totally amazing. BUT THE VERY best thing is the gourmet restaurant.. we enjoyed one of the best dinners there.. amazing risotto, one the best spaghetti's we have ever had, simple but the best. and the pre-desert.. that was out of this world.. a rose cake with a sort of Zabaione to dip in.. I can still taste it. the chef was also very friendly and is so talented .. . and we will so go back there..

Couldn't fault this hotel one bit. Staff very friendly and helpful, rooms were warm and cosy on arrival. Plenty of hot water. Excellent, plentiful, filling breakfast , a must to a good start to the day. Lovely in house restaurant downstairs for 4 very tired travellers, Complimentary glass of Prosecco! Very easy transfer to and from the airport. Loved it all.

Hotel was wonderful, staff were very nice and very helpful, the hotel was well situated, bus from airport to near hotel was cheap and the stop was at the central station which was just across the square.
