Apartment with breathtaking view over the lake, no car needed
The flagship of Casa dell’Arco is the breathtaking view over the Lake Como. Casa dell’Arco is located in the heart of Varenna, a true urban example of the old Italian villages. Except the main street crossing the village, all others are pedestrian stairs ways (contrada) that bring you down to the lake, ideal for children. The apartment is on top of the building, on two floors and outside the living room are two balconies. The interiors are stylish and modern and the apartment has been completely restored in early 2010. The lake is 20 meters far and in 5’ of pleasant walk along the lake you reach the ferry dock. The train station is only 10' far. Close to the apartment are : pharmacy, grocery, butcher, bank, restaurants and bars. Casa dell’Arco is the ideal location to live the unique atmosphere of Varenna that will make your holiday unforgettable.

We loved our stay in this beautiful location. Views of lake Como were stunning. The apt is located close to town center and is a great place to stay. Loved the apt
If you’re staying in Varenna it’s hard to imagine a more beautiful place. Easy access from the train or ferry, incredible views from your private balcony, and plenty of space. Would absolutely stay again!
Just the most amazing location. Close to everything and easy to walk in each direction. If you want the view of the lake, this apartment has it. We would happily stay here again.
Lovely apartment. Very disappointed about all the stairs but once in the apartment it was breathtaking. Everything we needed for our stay. Perfect location for the square & hotel my son was getting married at.
Perfect location, fabulous apartment - highly recommend. (Be aware if visiting in summer, as stated in the listing, has fans rather than a/c.) Suited our family of 5 perfectly!
Loved our stay in this comfortable apartment. Walking distance to some beautiful eateries, ferry and train station. There are stairs within the apartment and inside the apartment, but they are worth it for the view
We had a great time ! The view from the balcony is AMAZING! Such a pleasure to have a coffee there every morning (even though there is space for 2 persons only).
The apartment is nicely renovated and modern. However I can’t put a 5/5 because in my opinion it misses a comfortable living-room with coaches and a coffee table to gather with your family/friends. We recommend this nice place!
the apartment is very nice, the view from the main bedroom and balconies from living/dining room is amazing. the pictures are mostly accurate, but keep in mind it’s on the top floor so you have to climb 3 flights of stairs to get into the apartment then another flight after you get in to reach the bathroom and bedrooms.. two of the bedrooms are conjoined together and faces the street so it’s a bit noisy.
It was our first time at Lake Como. The lake is beautiful, and Varenna was our favorite village on the lake. This property has some great views over the lake. The apartment was clean and in good condition. There are beds to sleep 6, but the third bedroom is only accessible through the second bedroom. There is also not much of a living area. But we spent most of our time outside in awe of the lake and doing some hiking in the area (the hike up to the castle and paying a small fee to get in is worth it for the views). We ate at Cafe Varenna, La Vista, and Bar Il Molo. All of them were fantastic. We had a small issue with the keys at check in, but they were available for communication and did what they could to help resolve.
We loved staying at this property. The location and views are absolutely stunning. I would definitely stay here again. We had 5 adults, my husband and our three children in their 20s and the property was great.
The apartment is very nice and spacious. The rooms that are joined with the single beds is a bit small. Best really for children rather than adults. The room in the back is incredibly small but we made it work for our two teenagers.
The front room with the window to the lake is amazing. It would have been nice to have had somewhere to hang clothes in this room, the only place to hang clothes was in the "middle bedroom".
Common areas is very spacious and the balconies were perfect. Highly recommended,
Excellent emplacement dans un des plus beaux villages de lac de Côme
Très bel appartement spacieux avec une vue magnifique sur le lac de Côme. Communication très facile avec la propriétaire Luciana.
Cette location est très bien pour une famille de 5 personnes car une seule salle de bain et pour aller dans la 3e chambre, il faut passer par la chambre avec 2 lits d'enfants.
Pour profiter de cette belle location, il faut s'armer de courage pour monter de nombreux escaliers. N'hésitez pas, cela en vaut la chandelle :-)
Merci à Luciana.
Clean and conveniently located property. The communication with the owner was great and the property was easy to find/access. The views were incredible. We would definitely recommend staying here.
Our family recently visited (2 adults + 3 Adult kids) and had the greatest time! The house was beautiful and looks exactly as described. We saw an amazing sunset from the balcony and it is the perfect location to walk down to the waterfront. One thing to note is if we had realized the amount of steps from the train station we probably would have taken a taxi but everyone (including 60 year olds) made it and the steps to the top floor apartment are totally worth the views!
El departamento es muy lindo de dos pisos pero si fue un problema llevar nuestras maletas hacia el edificio y de ahí subir dos tramos largos de escaleras .. muy cansando. El parqueo también fue molestoso tenerlo a 10 minutos caminando. Pero lo más lindo la Limoieza las camas muy cómodas y la vista ! Espectacular… cerca de restaurantes acogedores. Se desayuna y come delicioso. Frente a orillas del lago como. La ubicación es ideal.
Mooie en goed gelegen vakantiewoning midden in het prachtige Varenna. Het uitzicht is inderdaad magnifiek. Het appartement is met zorg ingericht waarbij soms vorm voor functie gegaan is.
Er zijn in andere reviews al enkele aandachtspunten meegegeven die voor toekomstige gasten van belang kunnen zijn. Het is geschikt voor 5 gasten doch die kunnen niet samen op een balkon verblijven. Ook zijn functionaliteiten en de grootte van de oven en de grootte van de TV niet afgestemd op het mogelijke aantal gasten.
Daarom vier in plaats van 5 sterren mede gelet op de prijs. Met in achtneming van de aandachtspunten wel een aanrader.
Schönes Appartement mit wunderschönen Blick auf den Comer See. Ausstattung gut, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten für das Notwendigste in Fussweite vorhanden. Parken mit Auto nicht so einfach, Parkplätze meistens kostenpflichtig.
Modern, light spacious apartment with views to die for. Owner communicated well and promptly fixed our lights. Also let us have a late check out. Perfect location near main square and a few steps from the lake. Definitely going back!
My husband and I were married in Varenna 7 years ago. We’ve been back 5 times and always stayed in the same hotel. This time we took some friends and decided to book this VRBO. I thought the single bathroom might be our biggest challenge but it was fine. I will,
however begin this review with the ONLY negative so that it is helpful to anyone with cardiac issues....this apartment is on the top floor (4 flights of stairs) and there are no elevators Once you get into the apartment, you have to climb another set of stairs to the bedrooms. One of the people traveling with us had difficulty that almost caused us to change locations but she made it up slowly each time.
Ironically, The BEST thing about the place is that it’s on the top floor.. We would sit out on the balcony and watch the sun go down while listening to all the conversation and music of Varenna. It’s like you see in the movies.
Luciana was very accessible and helpful. We love Varenna❤️
