Customer Reviews
Enjoyed Most:
The large common room, with tables, Satellite TV, kitchen, bathroom. Great for a big crowd.
Unpleasant Surprises:
The European showers with no enclosure around the tubs; you had to take a bath every day.
Surrounding Area:
The surrounding property is beautiful, loved taking walks after dinner.
Nearby Events or Locales:
I did find a walking path to the town near the church. Sneakers are a must, it was pretty steep but only took 15 minutes to walk down. I did meet our friends in town so I didn't have to take the steep walk back, I am sure it would have taken me an hour to walk back.
Tips or Restaurants:
The train station in Varenna goes to many cities including Milan.
Check In Out:
The owners daughter met us and went over all things with us, very nice!
