“Exceptional”
+A real Italian delight devoid of corporate blandness. Laura was lovely and made sure we had a great stay. There are steps up to the accommodation but they were well lit and had a good hand rail.. The shower room was clean and spacious. Great views from balcony. Easy access by railway via Milan, Paris and London. Excellent double glazing meant our room was very quiet. Thank you Laura!

“Perfect location!”
+The close proximity to the ferry and local restaurants was an advantage. The host was friendly, and the bed was comfortable. Despite being so close to the busy ferry port, the room was quiet.
−The room had only very basic tea/coffee making facilities and no fridge. If you're planning on enjoying a sunset view with a bottle of wine from the balcony, bring your own cork screw!

“Villa Torretta provided an excellent Varenna experience, from its history, to the wonderful service provided by the owne”
+Quiet, with a small balcony overlooking the lake, and a great location to get anywhere in Varenna.

“Very very strange.”
+Location. Right next to the ferry. Short walk from the station
−The owner shouted loudly for her cat 20 times at 2am. She stays in the room next to guests and leaves her door open. This is clearly her house and she treats you like an unwelcome guest. It is all very very strange. We felt no privacy whatsoever. The whole setup is very very strange. We communicated well and arrived at 6pm . This seemed far too late for her. She asked if we were going straight to bed because she was. We were out mostly but when asked when we were checking out I suggested 10:30 she said 'no - 10:00'. Which is fine. Her rules. When we arrived back from dinner to a totally dark house we came in very quietly but didn't get past her open bedroom door. She shouted something very loud. We couldn't make it out so enquired numerous times what she was saying. She just kept shouting the same thing. After the 10th shout we realised she was saying '10:30 is ok'. At 10:25 the next day she hammered on our door and shouted 'you must go!'. The location makes you overlook the rediculously worn out towels, sheets, furnishings and coffee facilities in the bathroom etc but doesn't allow for a rude unwelcoming host. If you don't want guests, don't list your property!

“Great walking location.”
+Property is very well located, walking distance to both the ferry dock, a lakeside walking path to the center of town, and train station. It has a great lakeside and mountain view from the rooms. Electric tea kettle, coffee (instant), tea and sugar were located in the bathroom. Though no meals (this is not a B&B) are provided, prepackaged tea cakes came every day at the coffee station.
−Property was cold most of the time. Heat (radiator) did not have any controls, and system only came up to temperature a couple times a day.
