“Candy House was clean, comfortable, and nicely located.”
+The property was immaculate. The grounds around the property were well landscaped and pretty. The view of the lake and mountains was beautiful. The hosts left a lot of goodies for us including coffee, biscotti, snacks, and eggs from their own chickens! The first floor of the house had a gym and a laundry room. The owners were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. You could walk into town or drive to a convenient public parking garage.
−Nothing.

+Beautiful and clean. Amazing views of the lake. Sergio was amazing. He was there to check us in. He actually lives next door. We were also welcomed with some eggs, fruit and snacks. Super thoughtful. There is also a gym. Which we used.
−Nothing that the owner could do. The location was a little far from Varenna town center. We ended up walking every morning and night back to the house. It was about 30-40 mins each way. We didn’t mind it, was a great walk actually. We would go early around 9a to avoid the summer heat and return after 8p and it was cooler. But if you have small children or disabilities, this may not be the house for you

“Loved this property! Would definitely stay here again.”
+Exceptional views across Lake Como. Sergio is an attentive host leaving a generous welcome basket, including a bouquet of herbs which we used when cooking our own meals. The location was quiet and provided garaged parking.

“A positive experience with an amazing view”
+Despite the short stay Marry and Sergio were amazing hosts that were kind and attentive, even sending us off to the train station when our taxi broke down and was unable to arrive. Their hospitality truely made our stay very memorable. When we first arrived we were welcomed to snacks and drinks. Not to mention a variety of amenities from your typical toiletries to first aid kits. The place was very clean and well maintained with a beautiful view facing Lake Como where you can see the sunset, the property had a beautiful garden well. There was a fully equipped kitchen, washer, dryer and indoor gym. If given the chance, would definitely stay again!

“we cannot wait to come back”
+The owner was wonderful - he personally approached us during our stay and constantly made sure we were comfortable. They even left a generous tray of goodies in the kitchen, which was such a thoughtful touch. The apartment itself was spotless and had everything we needed. We also got to use the gym downstairs, which was a lovely surprise we weren’t expecting. The view? Absolutely jaw-dropping. It made the whole stay feel incredibly special, and we’d love to come back again. Key collection was about a 5-minute walk from the train station , very easy to manage since I left our luggage with my partner, but it could be tricky for someone traveling solo. That said, the process itself was smooth and well-explained.
−The location is about a 30-minute walk from the city centre, and taxis in the area aren’t very accessible. We didn’t mind the walk at all , it was scenic and peaceful , but it’s something to keep in mind. The price point is definitely on the higher side, more in line with a hotel, so it’s a bit expensive for what it is.

“Beautiful home, but not worth the money.”
+The view is absolutely beautiful. The house was clean and orderly. Very peaceful and quiet surrounded by nature and bird song.
−Very, very bad check-in experience. It took me 2 hours to find the office for the keys to the house because they gave me the incorrect address. The house is a 25 minute walk from Varenna, and taxis are not reliable. Also, in the pictures it shows that there is a gym downstairs, but I was told upon arrival that it is only for the owners. The beds were incredibly uncomfortable, like sleeping on cardboard.

+Os proprietários são muito atenciosos, nos recebeu com uma cesta de boas vindas, chá, café, guloseimas, frutas, água , até leite e ovos fresquinhos, Para quem havia chegado de uma longa viagem de 17 horas, isso fez toda a diferença ,
