An idyllic little town on Lago di Como

by londonlover - last update: Mar 17, 2007

Varenna

Varenna, Lago di Como
Compared to its close neighbor, Bellagio, I suppose Varenna isn't that well known. But I like it even better--a relatively unpretentious and quiet town on the banks of Lago di Como (Lake Como), Italy's relaxed region where the Alps begin. I spent two nights here, arriving here for the first leg of my first trip to Italy. It was a wonderful introduction to the country. Magnifico!

Pros:"Idyllic, soft, romantic Italy at its best--shouts honeymoon destination!"
Cons:"Not all the locals are fluent in English, so carry your phrase books."

 Hi Tara! Lovely little page on Varenna. My friend and I will be in Lago di Como next month and Varenna sounds like one place we'd like to visit.

 Would love to read & see more about Varenna. I've only seen it from a boat on Lago di Como! Good tips for staying here!
