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!

We found the studio by accident while visiting Varenna in 2017 and spent hours here looking at all the beautiful paintings ... Melkita was so helpful. Paul’s talent is exceptional The landscape of Varenna is displayed for all to see in our dining room in Houston

In Vinis Veritas is a casual, friendly wine bar, perfect for aperitifs and tasting some special wines with platters of local cheeses or cold cuts. We have wines from all the best Italian regions and a broad selection of local wines, as well as oil from the olives of Lake Como. The wine shop can ship you wines all over the world.
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.

We were in Varenna during Holy Week and attended services at this beautiful church. I really wished I could understand Italian.
