You’ll rave over the duo of tortelloni filled with scallops and shrimps, and black ink tortelacci with ricotta and salmon stuffing. Indulge your sweet tooth with panna cotta with pistils of saffron.

See & Do
See & DoVarenna has been dubbed La Perla del Lago di Como (the pearl of Lake Como) and is as lovely as its moniker implies. Climb the centuries-old stone steps up from the lakefront promenade and wander through the gardens at Villa Cipressi, then walk up to the medieval Castello di Vezio, with its stunning views of the lake. There is clean, safe lake swimming from a little serviced beach near the ferry.
Take a hike along the walking trail around Lake Como, and be sure to hop aboard a steamer chugging around the lake, stopping off at villas and botanical gardens. Como has a grand Duomo, while Menaggio has a beach and Bellagio occupies a picture-perfect location surrounded by water. You won't need a car, and you can even zip over to Lake Lugano in Switzerland by bus – takes an hour.

Getting There
Location
Via XX Settembre, 23829 Varenna, Lago di Como
Parking
Limited garaged guest parking is available for EUR 12 a day, and there are some metered bays in the village square. However, you won't need a car and we recommend arriving in Varenna by train, hydrofoil or boat instead. You can then do all your lake excursions by ferry or local bus – eco friendly and fun. As Albergo Milano is on a pedestrianised street, you will need to wheel your bags down to the front door from the main road, where a taxi can drop you. Don't try lugging suitcases up the steep medieval stone steps from the harbour!

Varenna-Esino station – 500m. The journey from Milano Centrale station (hourly trains) takes 80-90 minutes.
