1. Ristorante Il Caminetto Cookery Lessons

Reviewed By Paul M - Leicester, United Kingdom
My girlfriend and I attended a cookery class a couple of days ago. We were greeted at the port by Moreno, the restaurant owner, who took us to his lovely traditional Italian restaurant up in the hills above Varenna, the decor is very much rustic and charming with large beamed ceilings and stone fireplaces, in keeping with the area.
We started with a well received coffee before Moreno went over the days activities and menus. Our menu consisted of handmade tortellini stuffed with recotta and porchinis and a tomato sauce and for main, prosutto wrapped veal loin, he did ask us if any of us had any issues and any dietary requirements were dealt with, one lady was lactose intolerant for example. The manner of the class was extremely friendly and jovial, with any question answered with a touch of Italian poetry, Moreno discussed his family history and the history of the area, all very fascinating. The food was prepped and we all joined in making the torts. A plate of antipasti was given along with wine, all of which was seemingly unlimited, then the now cooked food which was stunning, very traditional and extremely good.
Overrated the experience was fabulous, Moreno was brilliant and very funny and entertaining. I would 100% recommend anyone to take this class, the value for money is superb in comparison to other classes in the area.

We almost missed this place because of confusing ferry-boats, but I'm so glad we made it there on our last day!
Such a beautiful place and views!
Took the ferry to Lenno. We walked to the Villa, and it took about 15 minutes for us, no problem (we are both in our 20s).
You can choose to either just visit the Gardens or the house as well.
I think the prices are 10 for the Gardens and 20 for both. They also have student-discount. When you visit the house, you must do so with a guide.
When we arrived at the villa, we only had to wait and hour for the english-speaking tour. So worth the wait!
The interior of the house is amazing, all the collections from different parts of the world and the stories about the traveller Guido Monzoni! There tour took about 50 minutes in total.
Go there!

4. Campanile di San Nicolo

Reviewed By AnnArborMHT - Genoa, Italy
I must say that I am always concerned with the authenticity of excellent reviews of an activity that has many first time reviewers. But in this case I must agree with all the positive comments; this was a very informative and fun tour, given by a very passionate volunteer.
About 10 days before arriving in Lecco, I emailed the volunteer organization of the Campanile di San Nicolo, inquiring about an English tour for three women. I promptly heard back that they would try to locate a volunteer for the specific date we were in Lecco and could I please provide our names prior to the tour. A few days before our arrival I received the details; unfortunately an English guide wasn't available, however since two out of three ladies spoke Italian, we agreed on an Italian guide. Our guide was delightful, prompt and very happy to answer all our questions and wait while my friends translated. However, its worth knowing that there are many informative signs in English and I certainly understood a great deal even with translations.
Yes, there are lots of steps, but as other reviews indicate, they are taken in stages with time to catch your breath. We reached the bell tower level for spectacular views and had no problem hearing the bells ring at 11 am!!! From there its necessary to climb about 15 feet up a straight ladder, which some people might find difficult, but you are well rewarded with lovely unobstructed views and the satisfaction that you're made it to the top! Our tour was about 1 hour 1/2 ... we were slow and had lots of questions; don't think it usually lasts this long.
One of the big surprises mid-way up the tower, was an exhibition that is in progress ... a 4-5 foot reproduction of the Campanile tower made completely from Legos! It was just amazing and so detailed.
We thank the volunteer group for Campanile di San Nicolo and especially our excellent guide. This was a highlight of our trip and highly recommended!

Beautiful waterfront, great for a stroll.. There are nice restaurants too. We walked up the hill to the steeple and found a wonderful church yard and also found the Chapel of the dead.. A very historic and somber 1630s sight.
6. Abbazia San Pietro al Monte

Reviewed By Alessandra G - tradate
I was told there is a nice church uphill, it's worth climbing your away up. It is not a nice little church, it's an incredible VIII century longobard abbey, in very good shape, with breath-taking frescoes and a tiny beautiful crypto. The legend says it was built by king Desiderio to thank God for healing his son Adelchi who had become suddenly blind.
Don't forget trekking shoes and drinks, it's quite a long way. The view from the area is absolutely fantastic
7. Jungle Raider Park

Jungle Raider Park is the original adventure and amusement park built in the trees. Jungle Raider Park in Civenna is the biggest Adventure Park of Lombardia A skill path hanging in the air, which shifts from logs to wooden walkways, from Nepalese Bridges to ropes connecting one tree to the next. It's a new way to spend a day in the outdoors, combining fun and physical exercise with nature and the experience of immersed in the woods.

We were looking for an interesting attraction for the whole family.
We found this amazing park.
The park is not too big.
Free parking.
There is a small buffet at the entrance.
Easy access to all the facilities.
The park is divided into simple tracks suitable for small children, and up to the great extreme tracks.
The entire park is shady and pleasant.
You can be in the park for half a day without getting bored.

We went there first and we bought tickets for both forts so it was a bit cheaper. There is a little parking near the attraction and another one a bit lower. We were lucky and we have waited only 15' for the tour. Our tour...MoreDear Guest, thank you for your review. We hope that also Forte Fuentes was good for you.
