My husband and I stayed at the Orange House in Varenna in September. Mara and Piero are so warm and welcoming! Piero gave up his parking spot for us because we had a rental car. The B & B is in a perfect location!! We fell in love with Varenna and will return. If you are lucky enough to find... More

This guest house has only two rooms as well as a central breakfast and community area. My wife and I stayed in the room on the entry level. Upon arriving in Varenna and ringing the bell to the enclosed compound, Piero met us at the gate and took us to our room. He took the time to show us around... More

Based on a Rick Steves' recommendation, we stayed at Orange House July 8-10, 2011. Piero and Mara have created a comfy, home-away-from home for their guests, and we would recommend Orange House to anyone. The 2 bedroom/2 bath apartment on two floors with a family/breakfast room was perfect for us (husband & wife, nephew, and friend). Piero waved to us... More

The proprietors of the Orange House are a lovely couple, who live in another part of town. Mauro speaks English very well and obviously knowledgable about the area. I am conflicted as I write this because although the price was right and the place was clean and the owners were lovely.........it is on the road that leads into town. Therefore,... More

I have to say Piero and Mara are incredible hosts, the best of our entire trip. First this accommodation was the most affordable of the entire trip and it was on par with the other 2 we had. I was surprised to be greeted by Piero himself waiting for us off the train by the front parking gate (it is... More

Our hosts were very friendly and helpful with information. Average decor and facilities, but more than adequate for our needs. Reasonably near to the railway station, but be prepared to negotiate steps and cobbles Varenna is one of our favourite Italian locations More

We stayed here for four nights in June 2010, and unfortunately, Mara had suffered an injury, which meant that breakfasts had to be taken in an hotel 100m away. We can't comment on Mara's breafasts, which previous reviews would suggest are wonderful. Orange house is fantastic value for the area at €73 per night for a double room including breakfast.... More

We visted Varenna and chose Orange House B&B based on reviews from Trip Advisor and Rick Steves. We made our reservations via email early in advance( 5 months ahead) of our June trip date. That may not be quiet necessary but I am a planner and like to plan way ahead. We corresponded through email and they responded in english.... More

We spent 4 nights at the Orange House B & B owned by Piero & Mara Angeloni. It was our best experience during our 3 weeks in Italy - and that's saying a lot since it was all great. Piero greeted us outside the secure gate surrounding the property & took us into the Orange House; it looks exactly as... More

The Host for Orange House was a lovely gentleman who was so helpful despite the fact that his wife had injured herself the day before and was unable to cook her famous breakfasts. No problem... they had a perfect alternate at a Hotel a few metres away. Orange House was only a stones throw from the Train Station, Lake Ferry,... More
