The small town of Varenna is an easy walk from the station. Ferry terminal for lake trips esp Bellagio and Menaggio and some nice walks /hikes to the castle and waterfalls and other points of interest. Make sure to take cash as many cafes and shops insist on cash payment. If there on a Saturday you may find a local market in Menaggio - if so it is a great mix of craft and local foods !
A local Italian village. A great alternative to the busy Bellagio however easy access by ferry to all the surrounding villages. Will definitely stay in Varenna again. (Suitable for Families and couples)
Quiet little fishing village, convenient and regular ferry service to all towns on the lake. Food very good, atmosphere relaxing, sunsets, sunrises, views, village and landscape all a delight to experience.
Cute little town, nice restaurants dotted around. Great mountain views and walks close by. Amazing gelato. Only negative was no supermarket so had to travel to another town by ferry to get supplies.
We went off season so most restaurants were closed but we loved it! Much preferred over Menaggio and Bellagio. Consider day trip tickets. Easy to get to and from ferries. Loved Royal Victoria Hotel for pizzas and dessert.
Great for a very romantic trip right after Christmas - most of the people are gone then and you get an entire Italian village for yourself. Enjoy late night walks through empty, narrow streets with your better half! Also, spectacular views of the lake, surrounded by snowy mountains, ferry trips between the villages, train right through the mountains and delicious coffee. Be sure to visit amazing villas and their incredible gardens. Milano, Bergamo & St. Moritz are an hour train ride away

“My partner and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was a lovely place. Great location, staff were all lovely and helpful. They even gave us a bottle of sparkling wine as we were just married.
