Things To Do
Lake Como Private Boat Tour
There are many companies in the area that offer boat tours around the lake. Some of the tours will include views of the historic villas, while others will take you to popular swimming locations. You can also rent a boat to drive around yourself! Here are a few companies recommended to us: taxiboatvarenna.com comoclassicboats.com lakecomoboat.eu
Villa del Balbianello
Villa Balbianello is a historic villa open to the public. It is best known for being a movie set in film franchises like Star Wars and James Bond! To get to the villa from Varenna, you will need to take a ferry or book a private boat taxi. You can buy tickets for the villa online!
Grand Hotel Tremezzo
Grand Hotel Tremezzo is one of the most iconic hotels in the world, located just across the lake from Varenna! We recommend booking reservations for lunch or dinner at one of their beautiful lakeside restaurants. Grand Hotel Tremezzo also has a spa that is open to outside guests.
Castello di Vezio
Hike up to Castello di Vezio, which takes around 45 minutes. The views from the top are said to be spectacular! Explore the (haunted) castle, and hike down the other path, which hugs the cliffside and brings you down at Villa Monastero.
Villa Monastero
Villa Monastero is a beautiful botanical garden located right next to Villa Cipressi in Varenna! You can buy your tickets online or in person.
