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.

"Great place to stay very central close to everything including train I did not give it a five star because the rooms are not sound proof you could hear everything including conversations and noise coming from the street.

"The overall stay was good. The property is quite a way from the lake, so it is a significant cost for a taxi since there is no shuttle. The breakfast is an extra charge, I think around €15 each, and it looked good. The room was clean. It is about 1 block to the bus stop. The staff was very helpful! The area was kind of run down, but seemed safe."
