The location, view, and the villa itself was fabulous. We found the accommodations very comfortable, enjoyed the garden, and the elevator was a great feature, especially when it was raining. It was a short walk to the ferry and train, mking it easy to get around and visit the other towns on Lake Como. It I had one suggestion, it be more and better bed pillows. We hope to visit again!! " Ronald "

The villa was absolutely stunning, yet it felt like home. We were greeted, twice, by housekeeper and then the owner, and their love and care for the villa was obvious. Every day, it felt special to wake up, live in, and come home to that space. We loved all of our first Italian vacation, but our days in Varenna were the highlight, and the villa’s beauty and comfort made it so. " Phyllis "

The perfect location and views cannot be beat! Extremely central to everything and beyond beautiful! Two of the most beautiful decks from which to enjoy the heavenly lake views. Direct, gated access to the lakeside walkway that connects everything is a real plus. Excellent communication with hosts made for seamless check-in and checkout. Grazie mille :) " Larissa "

We’d visited Varenna 6 years back and had wanted to stay at Villa Lucia ever since but Covid and other issues got in the way. We finally made it back and spent 4 incredible nights there. The house is stunning, the amenities are fantastic for cooking a few pasta dinners while eating out on the decks. The support staff is incredibly communicative and Alessandro was a pleasure to partner with regarding any questions we had. There was a train strike the morning we were to leave and the house keeper’s daughter and husband offered to drive us to our next location in Switzerland for a small fee. This is a top notch service and created a great deal of goodwill for us! " Jerry "

We were very pleased with our stay. Friendly host upon arrival. Beautiful, clean villa with a beautiful garden, and even more spectacular views of Lake Como. Amazing location to experience everything Varenna has to offer. We are definitely planning on staying here again in the future! " Carl "

Absolutely stunning views from this villa! We could not get over the sunset and the cute garden. Amazing location! Close to town and ferry. One minute to delicious gelato. Loved staying in Varenna. We only really used the bedrooms because we ate out the whole time. Bathrooms a little musty and it’s not a luxury feel but a cute cottage feel. But can’t beat the setting! " Sarah "

Wonderful - thank you for a lovely stay. " Kristen "

We had such a lovely & tranquil time. Enjoyed the quiet time with the locals actually more than the height of the crowded season. Beautiful, clean Villa, right on the water, Walk to absolutely everything you'd need. Beds were super comfortable. Couldn't be more pleased with our stay. " Sandra "

The Villa was very clean and comfortable. The views and the gardens where even more impressive and extensive than we imagined. The villa is right off the walkway to the center of town and the ferry so the location could not have been better. The negatives where that even with the extensive directions that where send, it is a bit difficult to find because its just a gate off the street. We had to go up and down the road a couple of times to find it. No big deal, just a bit stressful after travelling all day. Also, it smelled a bit musty, but I'm sure old stone buildings will be this way. We opened the doors up and this helped. Overall, we where thrilled and thoughly enjoyed our time at this unique villa. We all agreed this was the best part of our trip!!!! " Lisa "

August 2018 This place is great and I think I will be back for another beautiful experience. Kristoffer, Denmark " Kristoffer Petterson "

June 2018 Amazing setting! Lovely villa with great access into town. Wonderful spot for our family vacation! Marina, UK " Marina Lowe "

April 2018 In the heart of the golden triangle of Lake Como - Varenna Bellagio and Mennagio, the villa is a few minutes walk to the ferry stop and in the other direction to town. It’s 10 min walk to train which you do not hear from the villa. The photos are accurate and will amaze when you arrive. The owner greeted us and spent an hour with us walking around explaining the property and it’s history. He truely cared about us having a wonderful stay. Fresh flowers and amenities made our initial night of settling in great also. Varenna has easy access to skiing 2 hours north and 1 hr south on the train you can be in the heart of Milan so it was a great place to explore from. The villa is quiet and private so you can escape the restaurant noises and busy crowds. You will hear the ferry if doors are open but that start at 7am and finishes in the early evening and didn’t bother us at all. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked many meals and ate on the terrace at sunset - magic. Great for our family of 4 with conftabke beds lounge and a great loft above the kitchen for the kids to hang out. We will be back to stay again. Simone, Australia " Simone De Sousa "

November 2017 This is an extraordinary, three story villa with a beautiful garden overlooking lake Como. Each of the floors has a breathtaking view of the lake. And each boasts gorgeous carrara marble bathrooms. Even the laundry room is beautifully finished in marble. The main floor living area is an open floor plan with a kitchen and breakfast area, as well as a huge walk out terrace with table, suitable for formal meals. The home is beautifully decorated. Everything looks fresh and new, including the linens. The villa abuts the lakeside rock cliff, and has a private elevator, as well as stairs, take you to each floor. The owner met us on arrival, and told us about the history of his family home. A private parking space is provided--a very important in any small Italian town. Dining, shops, ferries and trains are short walks from the villa. Linda, USA " Linda Dello Stritto "

April 2017 This was the most beautiful property I've ever rented in Italy. It was truly stunning. The views were spectacular! The location was so perfectly situated. The photos do not do it justice!!! Linda, UK " Linda Plummer "

October 2016 This is without a doubt the best place that you can stay to see Lake Como. Varenna is the best town to be in since it is less commercial and is easy to get around in and to catch ferries. The villa is a bargain for what you get; roomy, convenient, beautifully done from the decor to the retractable awnings. We sat on the patio nightly and enjoyed our Bellinis as we watched the sunset over the lake before strolling to dinner. The private entrance onto the walkway is perfectly located between the main town and ferry docks. I would come back every year if I could. Paul, USA " Paul Mesiti "

We have just had a lovely week stay at this Beautiful Viila. From the rooftop road private entrance you take the elevator to the various levels of the villa. Which is very handy for those who find narrow stairs challenging. The two egg chairs are a lovely feature to have a birds eye view of the lake. The first floor is where the two separate bedrooms are with bathrooms, and beds are very comfortable each with a balcony that wraps around this level. Ground level is where the kitchen and living room are situated. The kitchen is well equipt with every utensil required. It is modern and served us perfectly. The very large balcony with table and chairs was a great location to dine or just sit and soak up the atmosphere watching the ferries zigzag the lake. The lower level is another room with sofa bed and the laundry. Then a few steps down your private entance to the promenade that leads to the ferry stop and the town centre in 2 minutes walk. The location is perfect. Easy to take the ferry to the very near Belaggio and Menaggio or the fast ferry to Como in 45 mins. The villa is a beautifully appointed and very classy. I would recommend Villa Lucia to anyone with a party of 5-6 people. You will love it. " Carol Strazzaboschi "

Thank you for your email. The Villa was amazing and the owner was very nice and explained all to us upon our arrival. It was a beautiful Villa and we enjoyed it very much, the owner had all amenities in the kitchen and the views were fantastic and the Villa was very handy to everything,we would stay again and recommend the Villa to friends. " Carol Strazzaboschi "

We enjoyed our stay very much at Villa Lucia Varenna. I created a house tour video that you might like to use for your marketing. Here is the link. http://vimeo.com/99455307. " Elizabeth "

We have just completed a 5 night rental of Villa Lucia. We had a lovely time and the Villa is fantastic in all respects. We loved meeting Alessandro when we arrived, but I think it should be made clear that one arrives at the top gate to the house (by the roof) and then you buzz to let someone know you are up there. We didn't see the buzzer at first and were standing on a very narrow sidewalk with luggage and a toddler for at least 5 minutes before we figured out what to do. Alessandro was lovely and gave us a LOT of information but it was hard to take it all in. A booklet in English should be in the house detailing all of the directions for air-conditioning, putting up and down the shades on the deck, keys (quite a lot of them and somewhat complicated), etc. We LOVED Varenna. What a great little village. We enjoyed a lovely dinner on the terrace of La Vista and some simple breakfasts and pizza at Il Molo also morning coffee at Cafe Varenna on the little harbor. Without a toddler along :), we'd have tried some other nice smaller restaurants but decided to pass this time. The ferries were a great way to see the lake and we enjoyed going to Villa Carlotta, the lido in Menaggio, Bellagio and the park at the tip of the peninsula and a walk up to the castle. We loved our stay and I hope this feedback will be helpful. " Julie "

We are absolutely loving the villa. It could not be in a better location and my family loves the views. On the morning of the 30th I believe we will be heading out around 10am After seeing how amazing the house is I know my family definitely wants to come back. Thank you again for everything! " John & family "

Villa Lucia is a real gem. A beautiful villa, tastefully and comfortably furnished and ideal for a family or group of up to six people. The living room is very cozy and has a stone wall for a unique atmosphere and patio doors leading to a terrace with a truly enchanting view over the lake. The open kitchen is modern and offers all possibilities to prepare delicious meals. There is a dining table with six chairs for a shared meal. There are three bedrooms, one bedroom has a double bed, the second bedroom has two single beds which can be pushed together if desired and the third bedroom is in the attic floor and has a comfortable sofabed for two persons. All bedrooms have a view on the lake. This house is very well equipped as there is WIFI, flat screen TV, BBQ, comfortable furniture and two lovely rocking chairs to enjoy the beautiful views. Parking is available for our guests. A top property in a prime location. " Anonymous "

We have had a wonderful stay and have a taxi picking us up at 12:15p tomorrow, June 20. We very much enjoyed the sunset from the rooftop terrace! Please tell the cleaning staff to take any extra food we leave behind as there are several unopened food items left on the table and refrigerator. Thanks form making our stay in Varenna most comfortable and memorable. " Kraig "

Thank you Happy Holiday Homes for a top time! Our holiday villa was so unique, it offered us a very luxury lake view experience for us!! " Carina Ulman "

AMAZING! Our holiday villa was so much fun to stay in! It was distinctive in its style and offered our group a really luxurious holiday retreat to enjoy for the week, plus its location on the central lake was just perfect for us to reach everything. The villa's living area was simply stunning with romantic exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings and a log burning stove which im sure would be SO cosy in winter time! We had direct lake views from all the principal rooms and had the best times wining, dining and entertaining during our stay. The rooms were all so comfortable and stylish and it really felt more like a sumptuous home than a holiday rental!! The HHH team were brilliant at recommending restaurants, attractions and activities to us. Lake Como was a fabulous place. We all want to book our next flights asap! Thank you! " Natasha Pearce "

Such perfection! My family and I had a GREAT vacation this month on Lake Como. We stayed in a luxury lakeside holiday rental in Varenna called Villa Lucia Venere. It was such a beautiful place! It was totally unique - it offered us a great mix of the luxury, romantic and the charming..Hotels just don't do it for us anymore!! Thanks a million! " John Hernandez "

We were looking for a nice place on Lake Como to stay for the week whilst we went skiing in Piani di Bobbio. We fell in love with Villa Lucia Varenna because it offered us the perfect luxury decor and comfort PLUS had an ambience of a 5* ski chalet!! Beautiful surroundings too.. we really hit the jackpot with this place. Thanks so much! " James Gibson "

Once again I want to thank you for lending us use of your beautiful villa. Our stay has been wonderful. We have organised a boat trip tomorrow near menaggio! You have been a wonderful host and I hope we have been good guests. I hope to see you again in the future as we love Varenna very much. " Michael "
