Stop looking for a place in Lake Como. You’ve found the perfect place at Casa Mara. Located steps from Lake Como, Mara and Paolo’s home offers tantalizing glimpses of the lake from the kitchen, bathroom and balconies and a stunning full view from the loft living space. Mara and Paolo themselves met us, showed us around their home and went as far as showing us quickly around town, pointing out the best salumeria, restaurants and sights along the way. Their charming apartment has everything you might need. The large water bottle and milk left in the refrigerator for us was much appreciated after a long day of travel. It saved us a trip to the store when we were exhausted. The bottle of sparkling wine was another nice touch. The two bedrooms sleep five and the loft bedroom two more in single beds. The bathroom is spacious. The washer worked well, and hanging the clothes out the window in a charming courtyard turned out perfectly fine. And then there is its location right in the center of it all….the ferry is a breathtaking ten minute walk along the waterfront. The train station is likewise about fifteen minutes walk (note the uphill incline going to the train from the apartment..it can be challenging if you have a lot of luggage). Varenna itself provides the perfect, authentic and quiet home base to explore the rest of Lake Como. Paolo could not have been more responsive to our every need. Thank you, Mara and Paolo, for your kind attention during our stay.

Great views and complete setup
Publié le 2 juill. 2024 sur HomeAwayMarco was a great host, and Casa Mara is an enviable home. Made for a great week in Varenna to relax right by the water. We even made a couple of meals in the kitchen rather than going out every meal, and the kitchen setup was fully stocked with everything we needed. Thanks for the bottle of wine too!

A week in Verenna
Publié le 8 juin 2024 sur HomeAwayWe loved everything about it this beautiful apartment, the check in process was so lovely, Paolo and Mara are very accommodating.
The local restaurants, deli, bakery and grocery store are perfect.
We had amazing weather so spent time out on the water and exploring the surrounding areas.
As a family of 5 we loved the different areas in the apartment and how close it was to the water, shops and restaurants.
We will miss this apartment and Verenna as we stayed for a week we got to know the locals and relax and enjoy the area.
The apartment had everything we needed for our stay!

Best Views in Varenna
Publié le 31 mai 2024 sur HomeAwayWhen we arrived in Varenna Paolo and Mara met us at the house and went over everything with us. They even took my son-in-law with them when they left and showed him where the best restaurants were in Varenna. My son-in-law even came back with an amazing bottle of wine compliments of our hosts.
We would highly recommend staying here. It was very clean and immaculate. Whenever we had any questions our hosts would immediately respond. Some of the best hosts so far on VRBO!! We definitely will be coming back.

Picture perfect Varenna 2024
Publié le 29 mai 2024 sur HomeAwayThis home is a ideally situated in the idyllic setting of Varenna. The location could not be better for walking around the town. Paolo is an owner / host and was very welcoming. He met us at the train to help us with a short walk to the house. This home is 400 or so years old but was completely renovated and is stunning. The views from upstairs overlooking Lake Como are better than the photos. The kitchen was fully outfitted and we cooked in several nights. Paolo provided many recommendations which exceeded expectations. Our family is my wife and three grown children, we are typical Italian size (read not so tall or large). We could easily manage the spiral stairs and low beams upstairs, but if you are tall or not so nimble this may be challenging. Our only small comment that prevents a perfect 10/10 was that outside of the master bed the mattresses were very firm and the two futons were not able to be used by grown adults. If your trip is 2-4 adults who can share a bed you will not be disappointed. Varenna and Casa Mara are a place I would definitely return to stay again.

Amazing property and location
Publié le 27 mai 2024 sur HomeAwayMy wife and I retired this year, and we wanted to find a special place to wind up our trip in Italy, especially as our two adult sons were with us. Our expectations were greatly exceeded.
Paolo met us at the train station, and on the way he commented "you have made an excellent choice." Indeed, his words rang true!
The interior is tastefully furnished and decorated. He pointed out the 500 yr old wood beams which were left intact after it was refurbished.
It was absolutely spotless inside, it is easily the cleanest rental we have ever stated in.
Most of our time, when there, was spent on the second floor, where there is a breathtaking view of the lake and mountain peak. The scene constantly changed, sometimes by the hour. At times the clouds would touch the mountain. Thunderstorms might roll in, once the peak was almost obliterated by fog, at other times, the sky was blue and you could see perfectly.
I would suggest walking up the street on the other side of the train station, where there is a great view of the Swiss Alps. And certainly, make the long but challenging (for us, not our sons) climb to the castle for more incredible views.
We typically don't spend what we did for lodging as we did, but it was worth every penny. It was an unforgettable experience. Thanks again, Paolo and Mara.
(PS when you come to America, let me know and you'll get treated to the worst Italian food you have ever eaten haha).

Phenomenal.
Publié le 15 sept. 2023 sur HomeAwayWhere even to begin? The spectacular views (morning, night, rainy, sunny -- every moment)... the spacious and sparkling interior... the private balcony, our of sight from all below... the *perfect* location, five minutes from just about everything you'll need/want....
But above all, the care and hospitality of Paolo, Mara & Marco, who from start to finish were our dream hosts. We were so grateful not just for the clear communication throughout, but also for the warm welcome as soon as we set foot in Varenna.
Paolo and Mara make you feel like family -- that the house is "yours" and that there's no other place you'd rather be. The only negative part is that we're not there still.
Truly, we could not have asked for a better experience. We will be back.

Varenna from Canada
Publié le 11 sept. 2023 sur HomeAwayVarenna was amazing, property was amazing. Zero complaints. Host met us at the train station and walked us to the place for check in, and made everything easy for our stay after that.
