Varenna

Discover the secrets of this paradise

Varenna is a town on the eastern shore of Lake Como. Originally a fishing village, after the construction of many villas, it is now one of the most elegant destinations on Lake Como. This area is also home to a magnificent medieval fortress, the Castle of Vezio, but the true jewel of Varenna is Villa Monastero, which houses a museum, an exhibition center, and a beautiful garden full of rare plants and flowers. Visiting Varenna is a unique opportunity to experience Lake Como culture, from fishing to complete relaxation in one of the elegant noble villas, arriving by train as during a nineteenth-century Grand Tour, or arriving by boat from Bellagio, Menaggio, or Lecco.
