Varenna is the ideal place for a walk along the lake, its old town is famous for its peculiar alleys and the Walk of the Lovers, which connects the pier with the village. On the promontory overlooking Varenna you can also visit the Castle of Vezio, dating back to the second century BC, from to admire a 360 degree view. Nature is the frame of this territory and through paths and walks, such as the Greenway of the Patriarchs and the Wayfarer’s Pat, you can immerse yourself in the discovery of views and landscapes rich in history.
Connected to Menaggio and Bellagio by ferry service, it is also easily accessible from Switzerland, thanks to its central location on the eastern branch of Lake Como.

Beautiful Varenna!
Che perfezione! This was a wonderful place. Perfect location in Varenna with views of the lake and close to everything. Very fun apartment with everything you would need. Very clean and parking was a very short walk. Check-in was online and easy with the bonus of a lock box entry. Thank you for the wonderful stay! We cannot wait to return!

The location was excellent. It was on level with the road and a small plaza with several restaurant sand you could walk down to the lake where more restaurant options were available. Once you walk down to the lake the views are spectacular. Ferry service is very accessible to the other towns. Biggest downside was communication in general. Took days to her back when sending a whats app message. Also ferry service must be purchased day of so you cant buy tickets for the next day ferries in advance. Lines for ferry purchase can be long, especiall for Bellagio so plan to get there early. Varenna was my favorite, and that was after visiting Belaggio, Melaggio and Como. It is the most charming and easy paced.

First visit to Lake Como
Lovely small apartment, nicely located. Clean and had all we needed. Small glitch with an air conditioning unit, but we were very happy to have any air conditioning on that hot weekend so we worked around it.

Great apartment for a friends trip!
My husband and I stayed here with another couple & had a great time! The apartment is pretty, modern, & comfortable for 4 people. Plus, the views of the lake!!! The location is perfect-right near the plaza with shops and restaurants, and it’s a short (hilly) walk to the lake. One thing to note-one of the bedrooms is upstairs via a small spiral staircase. It’s a bit challenging to bring up a heavy suitcase, but doable. And, the mini window view at the top is worth it!
