“Casa Pergola” Apartment

The host is very responsive and proactive in his communication with us. He picked us up from the train station even with short notice of our arrival time. The place is near to the shops, restaurants and the ferry. All within walking distance. And most of all, every window faces the lake. On our last day, there host informed us of train strike and offered alternative to get us to our next destination. Felt reassured with his arrangement. Great host and great place.

We had a fantastic stay at Casa Pergola. We were met by Alberto at the train station who kindly guided us to the apartment, explained everything, and provided some great recommendations for our stay. The apartment is in an amazing location right on the water with beautiful views, and had everything we needed. Varenna is a beautiful town and was the perfect base to explore Lake Como. Peaceful and relaxing, we highly recommend this apartment for your trip to Varenna. Thank you Giorgio and Alberto.

Amazing location and great host!!

Varenna comes close to being heaven on earth! Giorgio’s apartment is an absolute gem with the perfect location, perfect view and perfect amenities. Giorgio and Alberto are so friendly that we felt like family! Thank you for sharing your beautiful apartment and your beautiful town with us and we will definitely be back to experience it again!

The PERFECT place for us to be !!! First they picked us up from the train, which made our travels so easy. Then we saw the beautiful views of the lake from the windows and balcony. It was central to everything in Varenna. No more than a 5 minute walk to get to where we were going. It truly is right on the water as pictured and part of the landscape you see if you go out on a boat which was fun to point out to our friends who stayed elsewhere. Ferry was a 3 minute walk too which helped as that’s how we got around the lake to explore more. Thank you both!!!

Beautiful location, gorgeous views. We loved our stay and would come back again!

Location… Location… Location!Casa Pergola was a very nice & clean apartment with everything we needed & more! Lorena met us at the town center, walked us to the apartment & explained how everything worked! They’ve thought of everything, right down to a container of fresh ground coffee & a bottle of wine! Wonderful new appliances including a brand new induction stove/oven and large drip coffee maker … the bed was very comfortable, the shower was hot, and the air conditioning worked great! This place is truly on the lake with incredible unobstructed views! We would definitely return & we highly recommend!

check in was ragged with no clear directions and unclear expectations on where to meet.

Giorgio goes above and beyond with his guests in Varenna, booking with him is a MUST. Most people get to Varenna off the train and have to wander into the city, they offer to pick you up or have their driver pick you up and show you around the town and they help check you in themselves. The place itself is UNREAL, right on the water, amazing sunsets, close walk to everything, and Giorgia and Lorenna have great recommendations for food and tours (we rented a boat)! Overall, I could not review Giorgio and his properties any higher, he is the best!

Giorgio and his son Alberto were the best hosts! We were picked up at the train station and taken straight to the apartment (this was truly appreciated). They have a store in town (just a few min walk from the apartment), so it is easy to communicate directly with them if needed.The apartment is lovely with the a sweet small patio for looking over the water and the promenade. Stores and restaurants close by. Extremely relaxing and beautiful setting. Bed and couch very comfortable. We would definitely come back here!

Amazing location in Varenna, gorgeous views of the lake, our kids especially loved that we were right above a gelato shop. We arrived by ferry and it was an easy 5 min walk along the lake to get to the apartment. One minor point - note that the AC unit is only in the living room and if you are traveling in the summer months, it is quite hot.

Giorgio and Alberto were absolutely fantastic. Alberto picked us up from the train station, while Giorgio drove us to the train station and even gave us a little tour of beautiful Varenna. They also gave our daughters a special keepsake and provided amazing recommendations for our stay in Milan. We already miss our time there and hope to return next year

This apartment is a dream. The location and view can't be beat. Varenna is a beautiful town with character and beauty. Everything was as advertised, and even better.

The perfect location to stay in in Varenna!! The views from the apartment are unmatched and we loved sitting on the balcony in the afternoon. It was a big apartment with lots of space, including a washing machine which was very helpful! Great walking distance to all restaurants and the ferry port. It was quiet in the evenings and Giorgio and his son made the checkin and pick up from the train station very easy! Would definitely stay again & recommend.

Casa Pergola is directly over a gelato shop on the shore of Lake Como. The all day views from our windows allowed fresh breezes and sounds of the lake waking up in the morning or going to sleep in the evening to filter thru our apartment.We found everything as listed in the listing, AC not needed, WiFi available, comfortable bed, Giorgio was responsive to questions. A selection of adapters for electronics were provided and the welcome book provided all the information needed for a pleasant stay. Varenna experienced a wicked storm our last evening, great viewing of the storm from our windows and when the area lost power we referenced the book and knew exactly what to do (and where) to restore power. The restaurant recommendations were spot on, we made reservations by walking to them and making the reservation for the following 2 days. Excellent choices. We loved Casa Pergola and really loved our early mornings and evenings in Varenna after the day trippers left…a magical time!

We loved our stay at Giorgio’s place in Varenna. The apartment’s location couldn’t be better - right on the water within a 1 minute walk of great cafes and restaurants and 3 minute walk to the ferry stop. The host met us in the main square and showed us where we could park our car for our stay which was very helpful, and gave us recommendations for local restaurants. The bed was comfortable and option of fan and air-conditioning a plus. The balcony was perfect for a sunset wine. We would definitely stay again!

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Pergola. We had the most wonderful week and both Giorgio and Alberto were super helpful and friendly. The location is unbelievable and having 3 sets of french doors to open was a treat. Loved waking up each day to the views and every afternoon we sat on the balcony with our aperitivo watching the world go by. Would recommend this to anyone thinking of going to Varenna. It’s perfect!!

We absolutely enjoyed staying here! It is right on the water with an amazing view. It is only steps away from restaurants and there is gelato shops right under it. They were very kind to meet us at the train station and bring us to the place. Would definitely stay here again!

The place and views are amazing. Accessibility to ferry, restaurants and shops was great; lake facing-right at the lake. Check-in was smooth as Alberto picked us up and showed us around.Would love to come back.

Giorgio was an amazing host .. went out of his way to do things for us.. his place was exactly as described.. amazing view

This place is just like the pictures only better. Perfectly located. All the comforts of home. Amazing views. Close to restaurants and shops and the ferry which takes you to the other towns around the lake. Georgio and Alberto were the perfect hosts. Our new favourite place to visit. 😎

What wasn’t included in the description of Casa Pergola was the warmth and kindness that both Giorgio and Alberto extended to us. We were greeted at the train station with a friendly wave from Alberto and a ride to Casa Pergola. Our time here was magical. The apartment was spotless and the views could not be beat. It was quiet and private, and we felt very much at home. We were just steps from the ferry dock and the restaurants that were open during the off season were phenomenal! We look forward to returning! Grazie Mille!

Gorgio met us in the square which was great because we had never been to Varenna and could’ve been confusing to find the apartment. The location is perfect! It’s literally in the middle of everything that you want to do! The apartment is exactly as pictured and we would definitely stay here again!

As a few previous reviews have said, the apartment is small and simple with a view of the lake in a central location. There are steep stairs to go down to the location/entrance of the apartment and the tub is high so the apartment is difficult for people with mobility issues. We also had problems with the Internet on several days, which made it difficult to work remotely. Giorgio and his family are nice and Varenna is beautiful.

Giorgio and his son Alberto were amazing!!! Alberto met us in the square to show us to our airbnb. He gave us a tour of our spot, as well as great recommendations to eat in Varenna. We loved their apartment, especially waking up each morning looking out the windows to the lake! We highly recommend staying here.

We had a delightful stay at Casa Pergola. The location on the lake in the town was beautiful and convenient. The apartment is spacious and the bed was very comfortable. We appreciated Alberto picking us up from the station and storing our luggage until we could catch the ferry.

We had a great stay at Casa Pergola. Alberto + Giorgio were fantastic hosts, and arranged to meet us at the train station and take us to our apartment. The location is right on the lakefront and convenient to ferry, restaurants and shopping. The apartment was very clean, bed was comfortable and AC works great. We enjoyed the mocha pot every morning on the terrace. We would stay again!

This place is AMAZING! Pictures are very accurate. Location can’t be beat!! Great communication, very helpful and accommodating.

Beautiful apartment with everything you need. Best location in Varenna. Super helpful hosts with the best view of Lake Como from the gorgeous little terrace. Loved it.

Giorgio and family were so accommodating. Due to a national rail strike our plans changed and Giorgio helped us out in a pinch! The location and views cannot be beat! Great experience in Varenna.

We had a fabulous 5 nights at Casa Pergola. The view is stunning and our 6 year old loved having the gelateria right below. Lorena was a wonderful host, arranging us a booking at a local restaurant on the evening we arrived and also organising a transfer from the train station to the main square where she met us. Thank you for having us!

Wonderful space and location if you want to truly experience Varenna. Surrounded by cafes, gelaterias and restaurants, this apartment is perfectly situated in the heart of Varenna, providing both access to amenities but also a quiet way to experience the village once the day tripping ferry crowd heads out. The hosts were wonderful in providing recommendations as well as helping secure boat rental to explore the lake. Look forward to our return visit!

Best view in Varenna. The patio overlooking Lago di Como was everything we expected. Place was clean and tidy with A/C that was great for the warm summer days. Fully equipped. This is the place to stay.

We had a great stay! We rented this place for the views and waterfront location. It did not disappoint! We spent every night on the terrace enjoying the amazing sunset. The apartment itself was adequate and simple. Giorgio and his son were very helpful and responsive. The town has a relaxed, slow pace type of vibe, which we welcomed and needed after sightseeing in Rome and Florence for a few days.

Giorgio is a great host and quickly responsive with any questions. Thank you so much!

Staying here was a wonderful landing place for our Lake Como part of our honeymoon! Varenna is charming and was much more our speed for enjoying in the evenings after adventuring out during the day. The place was well kept and offered amazing views and people watching from the balcony. Giorgio even offered a lot of help when a landslide disrupted our plans for getting to Varenna. This was a great stay!

Location is stunning and place is well equipped with everything we needed. We did have an issue with the electricity one day but Giorgio and Alberto responded quickly and were able to fix it. Thanks for a beautiful getaway!

Great airbnb in the most amazing location. Alberto was a wonderful host and collected us from the train station. Do not hesitate to book this place. Worth every cent

A great apartment perfectly located to explore Varenna and the surrounding towns of Lake Como. Everything you need for a pleasant stay. The hosts kindly collected us from the train station, recommended local restaurants and attractions, and were easily contactable and responsive throughout.

Wow, what a great spot! The host was super helpful and kind. The view and apartment were amazing!!!

Stunning location. Simple apartment but adequate for stay.

Giorgio and his son Alberto were such lovely and welcoming hosts! Our stay there was incredible, the views were immaculate! The rooms were large, the place was very well looked after and clean. We have to say though the balcony was the highlight for us! The apartment was situated in one of the best locations in all of Varenna. Every thing was in walking distance, the ferry was about a 5 minute walk, and there was also a gelato store directly underneath us that had the best gelato! You need to book this place, don’t think twice! Thank you guys so much for making our stay and experience memorable.

Giorgio and his son were really responsive to messages, and helpful during check in (we had a late check in).The apartment is really spacious and has an amazing view!

What a beautiful place. Varenna is stunning and the apartment is lovely and so well located to all of it. Giorgio is a fantastic host. We had a delay to our flight and with our hire car and Giorgio waited up until the early morning and still greeted us with a smile. A truly fantastic stay!

Fantastic

We so loved our first visit to Lake Como and Giorgio was an excellent and accessible host. His lakefront terrace views are almost too beautiful for words! The property is spacious in a central yet quiet location in the heart of Vernazza. It is one of the most perfect properties of the many we have had the good fortune to experience. It is all that is promised and more; you will not be disappointed!

The pictures do not do the views justice. Beautiful lake view from the apartment and private balcony. The host's son Alberto was very friendly and provided us a car ride from the train station which we greatly appreciated especially during a rainy day. He even let us borrow his umbrella to use during out stay. Very good location in the middle of Varenna, steps away from a good gelato shop and close to waterside cafes. The ferry station is a scenic 5 minute walk from the apartment. The apartment is as described and it was well equipped with everything you would need. The bathroom was spacious and the bedroom had plenty of storage space. We took off 1 star because the apartment was not as clean as we would have liked. It was surface clean but needed a good deep clean. Other than that, the apartment is very nice and the lake views were wonderful to wake up to.

perfect location and quiet

Giorgios place was incredible the views from the room and veranda can not be beat. The only thing I have to say is the bed and pillows are a little uncomfortable not something that would stop me from staying here in the future. The host was responsive within minutes even at 6am when we had an outage due to a storm around the lake. 10/10 would recommend this place for your next visit to varenna.

This location is one of the best spots in all of Lake Como. It is lake front in the beautiful town of Varenna, and the pictures are exactly the same in person. The breeze off the lake into the apartment makes for an amazing and fresh experience. Additionally, you get an incredible private terrace that offers amazing views of the lake.The apartment was perfect size for my wife and me. Giorgio and his family were amazing hosts and we would recommend their properties to anyone. If you are debating between Varenna and other towns on the lake, I would highly recommend looking no further. You will not find a more authentic experience elsewhere, or a better location.We are incredibly happy we booked this place for our honeymoon, and will most certainly be back.
