Casa Piana can accommodate up to four guests with its two bedrooms and one full bathroom. The home has recently been restored and is part of an estate with two other other houses. Casa Piana is located in the lovely Lake Como town of Varenna. Built on a rocky promontory, it was for centuries a sentinel at the heart of the lake. Varenna today is a quietly refined town with beautiful old houses and romantic panoramas. The climate is particularly mild, as witnessed by the presence of olive and cypress trees together with other botanical specimens normally found in much warmer climates. Along the lakefront is a romantic walkway, abundant with flora, and linking the town center to Olivedo, the landing point for ferries and steamers. Varenna is the ideal starting point for a visit to the northern/central part of Italy and the southern Swiss Alps. It is less than two hours from the Milano Malpensa airport and one hour from the Milano Linate airport.Casa Piana is a 80 sqm accommodation for four. On the ground floor is a quaint living room with sofa and armchair. The living room opens up onto a terrace with table and chairs. The kitchen/dining room has a fridge, stove and washing machine. The master bedroom is located on this floor and has an ensuite bathroom with bathtub. From the bathroom there are stairs leading to the second bedroom with two twin beds. These can be made into a queen upon request. There is a pool shared with two other units on the Estate.For groups of up to 27 this property may be rented with Casa Paseo and Villa Como, located on the same estate.
