The apartment has a nice view and is conveniently located near the town center, as well as a small swimming beach. A coffee-maker with sufficient coffee and a washing machine with two detergent pods were provided and worked well. We hung our clothes to dry, using the many hangers in the closets.
The weather during our stay was in the 90s F, and two of the four A/C units weren't working properly, making the loft a bit uncomfortable. Additionally, our suitcases were too big to bring up the spiral staircase, which was a little inconvenient. The apartment is probably better suited to backpackers, as is the town. Many streets are actually steep alleys of stairs, which is charming, but difficult when carrying large, heavy luggage.
The wifi was spotty, but that could be a Varenna-wide problem with so many visitors packed into a town with fewer than 1,000 residents. I sent a WhatsApp about the A/C and wifi, but did not try the provided phone numbers due to issues with my international calling plan.
We enjoyed our stay, swimming most days, sampling several good restaurants and gelaterias, visiting the villa gardens, and day-tripping to Bellagio and Bellamo. The ferries are busy, and private boats are expensive, but it was still fun, and we thoroughly enjoyed the nonstop gorgeous views. We would definitely consider returning!
