"We don't know! First we came by the property early to check the location and were treated rudely by the man working there. Then, when we came back at 3:00, the host did not provide a code to open the door. We tried to communicaye with her, and we tried to call you. No success.

VILLA SILVANA - DOUBLE ROOM WITH LAKE VIEW

7.0 out of 10, Good, (2)
"Good value for money and friendly host. I would give it 3.5 stars. The property has a lovely garden and view of the lake but best suits someone with a car as there is a limited bus timetable to and from Varenna and is not suitable for walking. We travelled in October so perhaps there may be better transport options in the summer months. The room had everything we needed but could do with some updating."
