We have just returned from a relaxing 7 nights at Varenna Villa. As the title of the review suggests, we found the location superb and the villa was perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 children (ages 12 and 10). Whilst we had planned to do some self catering, we never bothered because the cafe/bar below the villa was a perfect place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We dined there on numerous occasions, so much so that we got to know the wait staff and management. There are also lots of other restaurants in the village, all within easy walk. The walk to/from the train station was fine (allow 15 minutes with luggage) and the local real estate agent who manages the property readily available (we needed to check on a couple of minor things with them during our stay). Very good and would have no hesitation in recommending.
