Het schilderachtige dorpje Varenna ligt halverwege het Comomeer, tussen Colico en Lecco. Vanuit het dorp heb je uitzicht op Bellagio. Varenna heeft een schitterende boulevard met een wandelpad langs de rotswand, boven het Comomeer. Via dit pad kun je van de veerpont naar het dorpscentrum direct aan het Comomeer wandelen waar je diverse terrasjes vindt.

Varenna is an iconic lakefront community of Como Lake. You can visit the opulent Villa Monastero or simply relax by the lake at Lido di Varenna. You can also take a beautiful walk along the lakefront from the large boat dock to the water taxi dock, from where you can take a ferry or a taxi boat to get to other wonderful lakefront towns such as Menaggio or Bellagio. Varenna is directly accessible by train from Milano Centrale train station. In just about one hour the train will drop you off very close to the lake shore. You can get to Varenna easily by local train from Milano Central station. Trains are frequent and the ride is very short. If you like hiking, from Varenna you can take the 'Sentiero del Viandante', a long-distance trail that runs along the Eastern shore of Lake Como, passing through a number of picturesque villages. The trail, about 45 km (28 mi. ) long, was not built on purpose for the hikers' pleasure; rather, it connects each other a number of old footpaths and mule tracks that locals have used for centuries to walk from one village to another, or from home to farms and fields up the mountain. It is a true voyage of discovery, of a fascinating region and its history and culture. Although the trail is technically easy, good walking shoes are recommended. The train journey to Varenna-Esino takes 60 minutes, ticket is 6.80 euros.

From Tremezzo (closest ferry boat stop) or Cadenabbia you can reach Varenna. In Varenna we suggest visiting Villa Monastero, which has a huge botanical garden that collects many rare plant species. You must see Castello di Vezio, an ancient medieval fortress overlooking Varenna as well.

Beautiful little village on the other side of the lake. Not so many toursist as in Bellaggio. Very romantic scenic village. There are boats from Menaggio several times a day. Our favourite restaurant in Varenna is "Al Prato".
