Villa Guardini by Wonderful Italy

Charming historic property on two levels surrounded by greenery with lake view, in the picturesque town of Varenna.

The house opens onto an access hallway that divides the various rooms; the first spaces one encounters are the two living areas, both furnished with comfortable sofas and armchairs. Continuing a little further on there is the independent kitchen, equipped with every comfort including oven, dishwasher and microwave, and an elegant staircase leading to the upper floor where the sleeping area includes three bedrooms, all with queen-size beds. Two bathrooms, both with windows, shower and bidet, complete the layout.

Finally, a magnificent outdoor space that develops between garden and terrace, all surrounded by a splendid view of Lake Como.

Lake Como offers some of the most striking urban, landscape and architectural gems of the entire Italian peninsula. Among these treasures stands Varenna, one of the most popular tourist destinations of Lake Como thanks to its wealth of history, art and culture. Villa Monastero and Villa Cipressi are among the most famous points of interest in the village, with their gardens, their beautiful landscapes and original furnishings. Varenna is the ideal place for a walk along the lake, its old town is famous for its peculiar alleys and the Walk of the Lovers, which connects the pier with the village. On the promontory overlooking Varenna you can also visit the Castle of Vezio, dating back to the second century BC, from to admire a 360 degree view. Nature is the frame of this territory and through paths and walks, such as the Greenway of the Patriarchs and the Wayfarer’s Pat, you can immerse yourself in the discovery of views and landscapes rich in history.
Connected to Menaggio and Bellagio by ferry service, it is also easily accessible from Switzerland, thanks to its central location on the eastern branch of Lake Como.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Overpriced
Furniture and lighting were terrible. No comfortable seating, especially outside where the views were, and the lighting was practically nonexistent. Electric receptacles loose and not working. Landscaping was overgrown. Very thoughtlessly prepared for renting, especially for the price.
