The 8 Best Things to do for Honeymoon in Varenna, Lombardy
Varenna is a slow-paced destination—most visitors come here to relax by the lake. But even if "Working on my tan" is the #1 thing on your itinerary, take some time to explore the area. There’s the Castello di Vizio, a medieval fortress surrounded by an olive grove. And you’ll want to view the old, tiered gardens at the Villa Cipressi—they stretch all the way down to the water. Finally, visit the source of the Fiumelatte, a peculiar river—it’s only 250 m long and disappears from October to March.

We spent the day 10-4:30 at the cooking class and it was a very fun, educational and one of the highlights of our stay on Lake Como! Moreno was so sweet and entertaining I would highly recommend this cooking class to anyone visiting the lake!!! The class was in a casual setting and allowed you to ask questions and get tips from Moreno and some of the guests. We drank, cooked, laughed and made new friends. It was a great experience????. Thank you thank you!

This was the highlight of my trip. I had 3 delicious glasses of red wine, accompanied with a selection of divine bread and cheeses. The host was very informative and was well informed. Really worth a trip and all for only €20.
7. Villa Monastero

Reviewed By LondonNefertiti - Greater London, United Kingdom
When you get off the ferry turn right and keep walking and you will reach these beautiful gardens in about 10-15 mins right on the shore of Lake Como. The wisteria will look stunning when it is in flower, probably even better from the Lake. A long thin garden which only had another couple of other visitors on a rainy October morning. Peaceful place to sit and contemplate.
