Casa Mara: the Great Beauty of Varenna - Lakefront Haven, Stunning Views [A/C]

Casa Mara (CasaMaraVarenna.com) is a spacious, cozy and romantic holiday house located on the first floor of a historic building in the heart of the beautiful Varenna.

Nestled in the famous lakefront area of Varenna, this house boasts a prime location just a stone's throw from the tranquil waters, with only 16 feet (5 meters) separating its doorstep and the shoreline. By being in the city center, Casa Mara offers easy access to a range of bars, restaurants, and wine cellars in the surrounding area, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the local culture.

Casa Mara spans two floors with a total of 120 square meters, and can comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests. The building underwent a complete restoration in recent years, preserving its historical charm and details from the 19th century while incorporating modern, high-quality furnishings. You will find a modern apartment within a timeless frame of elegance, complete with all the necessary comforts to elevate your holiday experience.

The main floor features two bedrooms, each providing guests with a comfortable sleeping space. The first bedroom comes with a queen-size bed and a direct access to the balcony, offering guests a chance to step outside and enjoy the surroundings. The second bedroom is equipped with a queen-size bed and a single bed, providing additional sleeping options for groups or families.

The main floor of the building boasts an open-space room that harmoniously blends kitchen, dining and living room. It offers a well-equipped Italian-style cooking and dining area and a beautifully designed and charming open lounge. The living room also leads to the balcony overlooking the most picturesque stairway of Varenna, offering a stunning view of Como Lake. Lastly, the main floor includes a very comfortable bathroom too, with shower, toilet and washing machine.

The open-space on the first floor offers a direct access to the second floor attic. Accounted as one of the best view rooms of the lake, the attic Relax Area is what makes Casa Mara unique. Our guests can soak in the beauty of the lake while enjoying the peace and serenity of the house, a true gift that only Casa Mara can offer.
The attic also features a third bedroom, provided with two comfortable chaise lounges, as well as a half bathroom, adding to the overall convenience of the space.

To ensure a comfortable stay even during the hottest Italian summer days, the house is strategically provided with two A/C units.

Managed with meticulous attention and loved by its devoted owners, this holiday home welcomes guests seeking a haven of peace and beauty. Indulge in breathtaking sunset views, the serene dance of swimming swans, and the joy of sipping a glass of delicious Italian wine with friends and family in the heart of a typical Italian lake town. Casa Mara is the perfect destination for a relaxing, family, or romantic getaway, offering a memorable experience that will be treasured forever.
