The Lombardy / Lake Como Area region


Varenna is the place to get away from it all, but also be in touch with the rest of the Lake. For the romantics, the historians or for those who love peace, tranquillity and a history that goes back thousands of years this is the place.
Varenna is an ancient fishing village with close to 1000 residents spread along a steep hillside overlooking Lake Como. The first evidence of Varenna's existence dates back to 493. After the nearby island of Comancina was destroyed the population increased and flourished. The warring factions, as with much of Lombardy saw Varenna at odds with Como on many occasions and the rule of Varenna pass in typical Italian family tradition from the Visconti family to the Sfondrati's.
Today Varenna is a lovely spot to chill out, although be aware that shops and even restaurants have been known to shut for lunch, so expect the better things in life to take longer.
The Perledo area
Varenna is ideal as a base for exploring Lake Como. On the Golden Triangle, with Rail, Foot, and Car Ferry links it's the perfect location for getting around. The so called "Golden Triangle" means you have regular ferry access to Bellagio and Menaggioacross the Lake.
Look out for Villa Monestero, which is few minutes walk from the central square in Varenna (Albergo Royal Victoria) toward Fiumelatte. The villa, as the name indicates, was a Cistercian convent dedicated to St. Mary Magdalen. It was founded in 1208 by a group of faithful followers who had escaped from Comacina Island, after the Island was destroyed during the war between Milan and Como. For more comprehensive information see www.discovervarenna.com.
Another villa, not quite as grand but worth the visit is and of historical interest is Villa Cipressi in Via IV Novembre, which also meets the waters edge! These villas and their grounds will occupy a few hours and there is a decent restaurant in there too! We suggest you stroll through the cobbled streets and explore the narrow alleys. You may even find out why people leave bottles of water outside their houses.
There are a few more restaurants along these streets, small, family run and with a good choice of Italian foods. For the more pizza-orientated there are two on the main square one attached to the main hotel.
The waterfront in Varenna is relatively small with boats bobbing in a very small harbour area and the numerous restaurants with tables and chairs covering this splendid view! You can walk to the ferry, along a wonderful promenade over the water, past a great ice cream shop, the friendly ducks (check out the village's ornithological museum as well) and lazy fish drifting in the sparkling water. The ferry area is naturally less tranquil, but has some magnificient villas overlooking the wharf and its own piazza. If the ferry isn't there already, then sip a late Latte at the local cafe and soak up the refreshing lake air! There is a little beach (Lido) here that the locals seem to use on really warm days.
For the more athletic then there are lots of walks up hills and down valleys. The apartment is in Perledo, only a 3 minute drive from the town centre in Varenna and is a good hike and results in magnificent views over the Lake as indicated in the photos.
The 7th Century Queen of Lombardy, Theodolinda lived the last years of her life in Castello Vezio, a castle, the ruins of which can be found at the top of the hill overlooking the town. This castle lent protection and thus prosperity to the locals, enhanced by the opening of a quarry for Black Marble. This marble was used for local building and was also used in the famous Duomo of Milan. You can walk up to this castle and see what remains.
The local ski resort is only 15 minutes away by car too for use in the winter months. There is ample access to all the famous Italian and Swiss ski resorts too, all being around an hour away from the apartment.
