Our family of four stayed only one night in Varenna, and Villa Michela, but it was wonderful and merits a longer stay next time. It is located high above the town, accessible only by car up some typically Italian winding, narrow roads. Calling ahead for directions is essential: we got lost trying to do it on our now until Michela... More

My husband & I greatly enjoyed our 2 night stay in the Suite Room at B&B Villa Michela. The view from the balcony was gorgeous and it was so quiet and peaceful. All the positive reviews on TA are true. A car is necessary, since the B&B is a 10 min drive from Varenna. Call Michela before you attempt the... More

We two grandmothers, seeking adventure the beginning of November 2011, saw the site for Michela's villa. However, we needed something closer in town and were able to book the apartment in town. Michela met us at the train station, walked us through town ,introduced us to landmarks, several proprietors of restaurants, the Monastero gardens, etc. The apartment was just what... More

Upon arrival by train to Varenna, we took a 10 euro cab ride to Villa Michela; we were totally exhausted after a 9 hour flight and then a train ride with no air (this was in the midst of an unusual heat wave of near 90). Our arrival was in a tiny piazza with atmospheric old buildings and winding, narrow... More

Michela is wonderful and tries very hard but truthfully I felt it was overpriced for the room and not having an ensuite. As others stated, its NOT in Varenna and a very difficult drive to get there. We had a car but I can't imagine what a pain it would be if we didnt have a car. If you are... More

This is our first stop in Italy and it has been even better than expected. After a long 24 hours of traveling by plane, train and automobile we arrived at the lovely Villa Michela. Michela provided us with a wonderful welcome as we sat on a balcony taking in the views with fresh fruit and vino! Our room was perfect... More
