The location is amazing and the apartment was comfortable and well appointed. Alberto is a super-nice young man who picked us up at the train station and made us feel welcome, pointed out things to do and see and places to eat. Varenna is terrific and we hope to return soon

Location was FABULOUS..fully equipped, plenty of local shops and restaurants nearby. Ferry to Menaggio and Billaggio close by. Only minor thing was the property is a bit dated and needs mattress replacement. But all in all, am pleased. Really enjoyed my time in Varenna and on Lake Como!

Our group of 4 loved our stay here. I am a VRBO owner myself and familiar with what it takes to be a good host and offer a 5-star property. Despite being in different countries, communication with the hosts was quick and they were always helpful. Check in was smooth and the place is exactly as pictured. The views and location are spectacular! Varenna was the ideal village from which to explore Lake Como. I wish we had several more days here. We would definitely come back again! Don’t hesitate to book this home for your Lake Como vacation.

Absolutely Fantastico!

Casa Balcone checks all the boxes for a real feel of staying in an Italian village! The location is perfect for exploring the town and hopping on either ferry or train to explore other areas around the lake! Oh the views - incredible!! Alberto & Georgio are excellent hosts and I recommend staying here.

Varenna is a magical place, and Casa Balcone was the perfect place to experience it from. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony in the morning with coffee and watching the boats and people arrive. We loved watching the sunsets over the mountain! Georgia and his family were helpful and kind.

The most perfect place to stay in Varenna. The apartment was just as pictured. The location was perfect-close to everything during the day, but yet quiet at night. The host is one of the best we have encountered in our travels. Communication was excellent.

Perfect location in the heart of Varenna!!

Wake up to spectacular views and stroll out your door for anything you want! A cappuccino, a spritz, a gelato, a boat ride! Take all the hosts recommendations and you will have an amazing time. The restaurants were excellent. We personally liked Varenna more than Bellagio!! And we loved mennagio too!

Heaven on earth (really!)

We stayed in Italy for 10 days on our recent trip...but our 3 nights in Varenna were the most incredible! This apartment and the views (oh my goodness, the views!!) were perfection. Communication with the hosts was excellent and check-in was easy. The recommendations for dining and gelato were excellent. Truly this was the BEST vacation we've ever been on and we will be telling all of our friends to stay here...it is a GEM!

Lovely place and neighborhood

We stayed here for 3 nights during out vacation and really enjoyed the apartment and area as a whole. The communication with host was outstanding. He picked us up at the train station which was a big perk and gave us a quick run down of the town. He was also kind enough to have a bottle of wine waiting at the apartment. Would highly recommend this place, host, and town in general if looking for a Lake Como vacation spot.

Best view in Varenna

We stayed four nights here out of our month stay in Italy. This was one of our favorite accommodations. The view is the best! The location is perfect. The town was our favorite on the lake too. It’s more beautiful in person, pictures don’t do it justice. Giorgio was great- super helpful. Picked us up at the train station gave us a brief driving tour of the area.

Varenna

What a beautiful cozy place to stay at overlooking Lake Como. This has to be the most central spot in Varenna. Everything is close. the restaurants, train station, ferry etc are within walking distance. Restaurants right out your door to the train station a five minute walk mostly along Lake Come. Having my morning coffee on the balcony overlooking Lake Como was just amazing. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

April in Varenna

Alberto — very friendly and helpful — met us at the train station, drove us to the little town square, then helped us with our bags down the stone walkways to Casa Balcone. Right on the harbor, overlooking the lake and mountains, next to most of the town’s bars/restaurants. Very good location with short walks to the botanical gardens and the ferry. A slight problem with the shower door and when asked it was addressed immediately. When we go back to Lake Como, this place will definitely be on our list of places to stay.

Everything about our stay was fabulous! Giorgio always communicated promptly. His son, Alberto, met us in the piazza, gave a great unto to Varenna, and was as nice and helpful as could be. The view from our balcony was breathtaking, and the apartment was very clean and comfortable!!! If I go back I’ll certainly stay there!!!
