The apartment was nice and modern with amazing views of the lake. Location was perfect- very close to train station and ferry port, moments walk to Varenna and Marco the host was very attentive and helped with any questions. There is a fabulous little deli supplying iced coffees just 2 minutes down the street and a restaurant which we did not get the name of just 20 seconds up the road which served the best caprese salad we tried over our stay.
The only downfalls to our stay was the general cleanliness of the property as a whole. Firstly, to take a glance at your apartment it would appear to be cleaned to an ok standard, but upon closer inspection, all mugs and glasses supplied in the kitchen appeared to be dirty and caked in remnants of food from past visitors. The coffee machine and iron didn’t work correctly. We also experienced many spiders and bugs in and around the property, for us, it seemed it was just in the need of a deep clean as the balcony had many cobwebs. Also while we hoped to use the swimming pool during our stay it did look a little untended to.
This did not impact our stay horrendously as the upsides if the apartment were fabulous and definitely balanced it out, but perhaps just a suggestion to make sure whoever is cleaning the apartments to be a little more thorough in order to make it a perfect stay.
