This villa felt more like a private retreat, with magnificent views of Lake Como. The house itself is beautiful, and the gardens are truly intriguing, adding to its charm. With a little more tender loving care and some thoughtful essentials—like bottled water and soap—it would feel even more welcoming. The location, however, is absolutely wonderful and makes the stay memorable.Response:

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!!

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.

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!
Dear Jerry, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you finally made it to Villa Lucia and enjoyed your stay.

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!

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
