Learn more about Varenna

Wandering the lakeside promenade feels like stepping into a painting, with centuries-old fishermen's houses in sunset hues clinging to the shoreline. Villa Monastero offers both a museum and botanical gardens where Mediterranean plants thrive improbably against Alpine backdrops. Take the ferry to explore Villa del Balbianello or Villa Carlotta, where manicured gardens frame lake views that have seduced artists for generations. Climb to Castello di Vezio for panoramas that explain why wealthy Milanese have summered here since Roman times. The 'Lover's Walk' wooden boardwalk hugs the rocky coastline just above the water's gentle lap. After exploring, claim a lakeside café table and watch the light change on distant mountains while sipping local wine – the true Varenna experience.

A coastal town with colorful buildings, a prominent church tower, and a mountainous backdrop.
