Varenna Perfect Place 2 Suites

A Practical Home Base with a Few Caveats Varenna is undeniably one of those postcard-perfect villages, with breathtaking views and a serene charm nestled at the base of the mountains. That said, whether it's the right home base for your travels depends on your goals. If you're looking for abundant shopping, dining options, or cultural events, you may find more dynamic energy in a larger town. However, Varenna offers excellent access to other locations via its convenient train station and active ferry terminal. We rented two adjacent apartments for our group. The accommodations were simple and provided the basic necessities needed for a comfortable stay. The location was ideal for transportation access and proximity to the waterfront. One important note for future guests: Be sure to confirm the specific conditions of the apartment you're renting. One of our units had clearly been smoked in prior to our arrival, which was disappointing for our friends and detracted from their experience. A non-smoking clarification could go a long way in ensuring a more pleasant stay. While the apartment itself isn’t luxurious, it functions well as a no-frills base if you're planning to spend most of your time exploring nearby villages or taking scenic train and ferry rides. A standout perk is the small restaurant just down the hill to the right—some of the best pizza and pasta we had during our trip, with prices that were surprisingly affordable. Search with specificity.

Alberto was wonderful. Answered all questions and gave layout of property with great detail. Our 4 adults stayed in two apartments which worked out great. Views were breathtaking. Thoroughly enjoyed.

The entire stay was excellent. The property is even better than online pictures. Some furniture has been updated. Would appreciate upgraded/softer mattresses or at least a mattress topper. Indescribable scenery!

Good location. Nice to have 2 adjacent apartments. Manager very responsive.
