Needs to be cleaned and better maintained!!
The location and view from the terrace were wonderful, the garage and elevator were appreciated. However there were many things that needed to be improved. The dish washer didn't work, the freezer was completely frosted over, the shower had mold in the corners and on the shower door and there were spiders and cob webs
and the shower drain was very slow and we stood in several inches of water when using the shower, the chairs on the terrace left a white film on our clothing, the wall in one of the bedrooms was being repaired and the dust from sanding wasn't even swept up. This apartment could be very nice, but in really needs to be updated and taken care of better. If it doesn't get taken care of, we would never recommend it. We don't think we got our money's worth.

It was clean and comfortable. The instructions on how to get there were very helpful. They were very accommodating and helpful. Would stay again.
Nice view is the only positive. The host was totally and with no reason unfriendly. The beds are horrible the shower uncomfortable. The wifi is terrible very low speed. The parking is horrible as well.

Beautiful Views!
This apartment is in a great location - beautiful view of the lake from the large rooftop deck and an easy, flat mile walk to Varenna. My only advice is to be prepared to purchase some necessities as we had no dishwashing soap, paper towels, and a very limited amount of toilet paper ( 1 roll - 4 adults for 5 nights). We did thoroughly enjoy our time at the lake and I would stay here again.

An amazing view, with a mountain spring outside the kitchen window!
The apartment is clean, well equipped, and the view and deck are amazing. After a long day of flight and trains, we arrived to a welcome of champagne, coffee, milk, and snacks. I can't say anything negative about the apartment, except that you definitely need to take a cab from the train station, unless you want to lug your luggage for 4 miles. Also, it is about 1 1/2 miles outside of Varenna, so be prepared to walk a bit. That being said, the place is absolutely amazing with privacy, views, and a very clean, tasteful, large, and well stocked place. We loved it!!

Svarte ikke til forventningene
Det som var positivt var utsikten som var tilgjengelig så lenge man sto oppreist, kort vei til togstasjon (lokaltog), kort vei til flere små badeplasser og gangavstand til Varenna (1600 meter). Det var dessverre mange ting å utsette. Det fantes ikke noe matbutikk eller bakeri i Fiumelatte, slik det var opplyst. Nærmeste supermarked var i Lierna, 7 km. unna. Leiligheten var svært skuffende. Liten, og absolutt ikke plass til seks personer! Oppvaskmaskinen fungerte ikke. Vanskelig dialog med utleier, men etter fire dager fikk vi en ny. Sengene var knirkete, harde og bevegelige, slik at det var svært forstyrrende å sove to i samme seng. Det var mugg på veggen som stinket. Mye maur på gulvet i flere rom. Verandaen var stor men dårlig møblert. Kun et simpelt bord og fire stoler som vi fikk kløe av å sitte i. Ingen solstoler som beskrevet. Heldigvis var det en liten, halvt ødelagt parasoll. Det var ingen rengjøring på ti dager og det var ingen rengjøringsredskaper slik at vi kunne gjøre det selv. Ingen informasjon om søppeltømming. Meget dårlig internett. Strømmen ble borte i leiligheten, og vi fikk ikke kontakt med utleier før dagen etter, slik at den var borte i ca. 15 timer.

Outstanding view of the lake and mountains
Nice apartment with a large terrace with a beautiful view over the lake and mountains.
We missed a parasol on the terrace so bring our own.
The apartment is good and clean, it’s equipped with was is needed and not more.
Tip, if you want to go for dinner in Varenna? Book a table, we was standing in queue to get a table.
From the apartment you walk to Varenna, there is about 2,5 km. But be aware, you need to drive to get to a supermarket. We found a small rocky beach 200 meters from the apartment, so you can easily get a swim.
I will recommend the apartment.

FeWo am Comer See/Fiumelatte
Die Lage und der Blick dieser FeWo waren sehr schön und wir konnten zu Fuß nach Varenna gehen, ein Bahnhof befand sich auch in der Nähe, um andere Ortschaften zu erkunden, man muss also nicht mit dem Auto los;
Jedoch gab es gleich am Anreisetag Probleme bei der Garagenplatzsuche in der Tiefgarage, da nicht genau die App.-Nr. ersichtlich war; unter den angegebenen Telefonnummern konnten wir um 16Uhr am Anreisetag leider keinen erreichen, auch nicht die Hausmeisterin;
Im Geschirrspüler befand sich nicht gespültes, sehr schmutziges Geschirr;
Beim Ausziehen des Doppelbettsofas im Wohn-Essbereich fanden wir sehr viel Schmutz darunter und auch die Matratze sah sehr eklig aus;
Der Toilettendeckel war aus der Halterung rausgerissen, somit sehr locker, wenn man darauf saß, deshalb waren wir gezwungen, dies selber zu reparieren;
Die Handtücher waren sehr sauber, jedoch sind es nicht Duschhandtücher gewesen, sondern kleinere Handtücher und die weiteren jeweils 2."Handtücher"sind eigentlich für Fußboden als Duschvorlage bekannt und viel zu klein zum Abtrocknen;
Wir hoffen, dass wir mit unserem Beitrag geholfen haben, den Gesamteindruck dieser eigentlich schönen FeWo darzustellen und dass alle diese Mängel beseitigt werden, damit noch viele weitere Urlauber dort ihren Urlaub verbringen werden.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
M. und I. Hamann
