Welcome to Maria's House, a lovely one-bedroom apartment located in
Varenna, an elegant village on the shore of Italy's Lake of Como. The
beauty of the place is clearly evident in its ancient buildings, its
romantic views, its impressive nature. A distinctive feature of
Varenna is the mildness of the climate, which is proved by the olive
trees, the cypress trees and other botanic species typical if the
lake and is due to its special exposure: leant to the mountain, the
village is facing south and west, so it is sunny and warm till late
in the evening.

In the heart of Varenna's old quarter, just little steps from the
water and the main square, the apartment looks onto a picturesque
cobblestone pedestrian-only archway leading straight to the beach and
the lakeside with the beautiful pubs, restaurants, shops and art
galleries.


The rooms of this apartment on the first floor of a recently restored
sixteen century building affords picturesque views of the lake. The
hall, the bedroom, the bathroom with shower and the kitchen-sitting
room with fireplace are bright and furnished with good taste, in a
modern and functional style

No car is needed as you explore the ancient town of Varenna. Archways
and steep, narrow lanes (which eventually end at the lake), beautiful
ancient buildings and the elegant atmosphere grace this lovely town.
