Getting to the property is a bit tough, considering the hike and limited bus accessibility. But once you get there, the view is amazing and the property is well maintained. Giuliano was very friendly.
This on a very steep hill next to a restaurant. The little village is very cute and you feel part of the community. It is fun to walk around the paths between the homes and explore. Everything is on a hill so be prepared to walk an incline coming or going.
As for the home, the grounds are beautiful and the view is absolutely breathtaking. One thing I wish we had been made aware of is how many steps there are to get from the street to the front door. The room is on the top floor which means you climb an additional 4 flights of stairs. It is very hard to get large luggage all the way to the top. So I would have liked to know that in the description before I booked.
absolutely gorgeous property. just be ready to walk a lot if you want to go to the coast. taxis were hard to come by. but if you have a car, this would be absolutely perfect.
Loved our visit to Villa Silvana. Luigi was very helpful and quickly available when needed. The view exceeded expectations! Amenities were ample even with the villa fully booked. One thing to note, the walk to the castle and to Varenna is very steep , limited taxi service and bus service. Also the train from Milan only takes you to Lierna but we took the ferry to Veranna with no problems. So plan ahead if you have a tight schedule. Once there, itâs paradise and well worth the visit. The restaurant next to the villa is one of few to stay open late and a market is there to stock for your stay.
The villa and view were beautiful. Our biggest dilemma was finding bus or taxi service from Varenna. Taxis were often fully booked and the buses did not seem to run consistently and stopped early evening. The walk up is very steep and long.
Luigi was great in responding with issues like ants and no toilet paper.
