Varenna Lake Como Italy

Quick trip to Varenna Lake Como Italy, wedding venue hunting and we fell in love with Varenna. This pretty and picturesque town offers incredible views of Lake Como, but is quieter and more intimate that some of the other options around Lake Como. Staying at Villa Cipressi means you’re close to the restaurants and waterfront of Lake Como.

VARENNA LAKE COMO ITALY

4.5/5

Pretty and perfectly formed Varenna offers waterside dining and picture perfect views. Aperols at Vecchia Varenna before dinner at Al Prato. Villa Cipressi is surrounded by botanical gardens and is on the shores of Lake Como.

Hire a boat, pack a picnic and of course some prosecco and take to the lake for a day of watching the world go by! You’ll probably see a few houses from films such as Casino Royale too.

This hidden gem is arguably the best place to eat in Varenna. Make sure you book as this place is small but it’s worth waiting if you have to, as they serve locally sourced ingredients made fresh before your eyes.
