Villa Lucia Varenna, Varenna, Italy

Lake view perfection!

Offering spectacular lake views across the central lake, this lakefront retreat is the perfect choice for a luxury stay on Lake Como!

The spacious newly renovated duplex property enjoys the luxury of character charm and features with modern day comforts; from uplifting high beamed ceilings, impressive gothic arched floor to ceiling glazing and contemporary fitted kitchens, bathrooms and entertainment system.

The gorgeous open plan living area boasts a magnificent ambience in which to entertain and unwind, with a beautiful exposed stone wall providing a romantic backdrop to the high beamed ceiling, luxury sitting area, log burning stove and chic fully equipped kitchen diner. The pair of gothic archway floor to ceiling glazed French doors allow for plenty of natural light to flood into the room and also bring the outside beauty in, with spectacular lake views to sit back and enjoy! In addition to the large indoors dining area the private lakefront terrace also offers the perfect dining experience, with a stylish dining area and spectacular central lake views towards the western shore to delight you.

The sleeping accommodation is ideal for groups of up to 4, with 2 bedrooms offering flexible sleeping arrangements. The principal master bedroom is bright and spacious with a lake view balcony, air conditioning and a luxury en-suite. The second bedroom is furnished with a set of twin/double beds, a private lake view balcony and luxury en-suite. The third bedroom is located on the ground floor, with limited view and features a comfortable double sofa bed. Also at this level is an outside bathroom without shower.

A third modern fitted bathroom is further provided in the property for additional convenience.

Outside the private lake view terrace offers the perfect place in which to relax in the hanging wicker egg chairs or at the stylish dining area, for a memorable ‘alfresco’ dining experience!

For added convenience, a private parking space can be booked too for your stay (subject to a daily charge).

The property is perfectly placed just a stone’s throw away from the Varenna Ferry port, which offers frequent car and passenger crossings to Bellagio, Menaggio and Cadenabbia.

Varenna is an extremely picturesque lakeside resort town featuring café-lined cobbled streets, boutique shops, restaurants and pretty lake view vistas. The historical town also boasts Villa Monastero and Castello di Vezio as attractions and for those with a desire to explore beyond the town a frequent Lecco-Milan train service also runs from the town.

Nearby highlights including Lierna Beach, the water sport activities in Bellano and the ski resort of Piani di Bobbio are all just a short drive away. The central lake further boasts a wide range of activities to enjoy from lake swimming and Lidos, power boat rental, sailing, cycling, horse riding, a Jungle Raider Park, golf, tennis and more. The central lake attractions are world famous and include Villa Carlotta and Villa Balbianello; which are arguably the jewels in the crown of Lake’s Como’s beauty and fame.

Wonderful Villa
This villa was wonderful-great location, close to train and ferry stations as well as restaurants. Quiet, clean, well furnished. Perfect for two couples travelling together for 4 night stay! Really felt as if we were experiencing an “Italian villa” just without the servants!

Magnificent stay!!
We enjoyed all of it, the breath-taking views from the villa both day and night, ferry rides, exceptional restaurants, villa tours, great hikes, the castle. The host was so kind to meet with us and share his family stories. Five nights wasn’t long enough! The meeting point of 47 Via Venini is important if you are being dropped off or picked up by drivers as the entrance to the property is merely a gate. Most memorable place we’ve stay in our lives,

Perfect Varenna stay
We feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to stay in this special and unique property. Arriving early after an overnight flight, Alessandro was willing to allow us to store our bags until check in, and then actually ended up letting us check in early when the villa was ready earlier than expected. The accommodations were incredibly comfortable and clean, and the views were spectacular. The location is so convenient - two minutes walk from the center of the town, but tucked away in a magical garden for privacy and peace. A wonderful stay!

Location is everything!
We loved the location of villa Lucia. It’s nice that the house is air conditioned and the internet is really good. Most of our time was spent on the patio overlooking Lake Como while enjoying a Lemoncello Spritz. There are a lot of keys involved with this house due to the multiple levels of the house. Any time we had a problem (only twice), Alessandro the house manager was there to take care of the minor problem.

What an absolute Perect little vacation & this was the most perfect view right on the lake, close to everything. Clean, comfortable, everything was so lovely. Not one complaint. We lo bed being here in the "off" season (if you can even call it that) because it was so nice to hang with the locals & take crisp air walks & not be crowded. My favorite place. Thank you!

Absolutely Beautiful!!
We stayed with my family with 3 children for a short stay in July. The location of this property could not be any better, easy walk to everything we needed. The balconies had spectacular lake views and the kids loved exploring in the outdoor area and path. The rooms were comfortable and the kitchen was equipped enough to prepare light meals & breakfast for kids. Fyi the stairs between the bedrooms and living room/kitchen are outside which I didn’t understand from the listing, but it wasn’t a problem in the end;) The owner had great communication and responded quickly to all my texts. Honestly I wish we could have stayed longer and if I return to Como I will definitely rent this place again!!!

The property more than lived up to its description and was just the right size for two couples. We have stayed in Varenna previously and knew the village. The location of the property was perfect. Overall, the villa was magical with spectacular views of Lake Como.

What a gorgeous property! You know when you see villas with outstanding views and private gated entrances, and you wonder who lives there? YOU. You can live there, at least for a few nights. This house was exceptional and such an incredible place to relax while feeling like an absolute queen. My husband is still reeling from the reality that our everyday lives don’t have the beautiful terraces and gardens of this property, and I can’t say he’s alone in wishing we could be back in Varenna at this enchanting home.

The photos do not do this home justice. The views from the balconies are incredible and the rooftop vista is the best in Varenna. The garden is amazing. You have access to the main walkway along the water by exiting the garden gate. There’s an elevator for your luggage which was really nice. We stayed here when we got married and we’re so glad we did!

Pretty sure I want to live here
We loved every piece of this visit. Unique, interesting, comfortable, beautiful views, private, amazing location, incredibly well stocked kitchen. We went slightly off season so the garden was not completely grown in but I imagine it is quite spectacular. The bedrooms were not the highlight but worker very well for our family of four. We spent most of our trip on the balcony, watching the ferry come and go and enjoying the sun move over the lake. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Perfect location in Varenna
We stayed a week and would book this property again without hesitation. During our stay, we were provided with soap, shampoo, toothpaste and toothbrush, laundry soap, dish soap, sponge, trash bags, toilet paper, coffee pods for a few days, and salt. The villa lacked spices, cooking oils, paper towels, and drinking water, so a trip to the market upon arrival was necessary. There were only 4 wine glasses, and no beach towels. These are basic items that would have made this a top notch experience. (Hence 4 stars instead of 5) The views are stunning, location is perfectly situated, bedding luxurious and comfortable, water pressure is fantastic, extremely quiet at night, and the staff were wonderful and prompt to solve/answer any issues that came up. (5 stars) The elevator came in handy during the days it rained, so that we could stay dry moving about between the kitchen and bedroom floor.

The Perfect Place in Varenna!
This home is even better in person. Well equipped with comfortable beds. The main bedrooms both have en suite bathrooms, and the basement room has a powder room just outside the door. There is a very nice powder room off the kitchen, which is great since you have to exit the house to access stairs to each floor (we never used the elevator, but it is also outside the villa). The views from the 3 huge patios are STUNNING! Since the windows are west facing, the electric awnings were much appreciated at sunset. The gardens are extensive, and there’s a fabulous little spot with a bench to enjoy the lake views. We would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend.
