Clean, spacious with well equipped kitchen . Could easily accomodate 2 couples with children.Nice view from balcony off master bedroom. Across street from two wonderful gardens. Ten minute walk to ferries which we used to visit different town, villas and garden each day for 7 days. Restaurants 1 to 10 minute walk. Smoking permitted only in garden and lounge. We dont smoke and were concerned about possible odor in rest of villa, but no odors anywhere even in garden. Hope they keep it that way. Train station about 7 minutes away by taxi.

Elisabetta and her staff have looked after us like we were family. We've had two, month long holidays there in 2010 and 2011. We've booked again for 2012. We like the location being so central to the village, a car is not needed. We like to cook and entertain and the kitchen is big enough to allow a group of 8 to be in the dining/lounge room and be part of the action while meals are being prepared. We travel a lot and have stayed in many different properties. Villa Central Varenna is very relaxing and casual, while close to all dining and lakeside cafes, shops etca
