Varenna is smaller than bellagio but absolutely one of my favourite places on the lake. Beautiful architecture, lovely cafes and walks. You can hop off at Varenna on the way to or from Bellagio.

Walks
You can walk to The La Canua from Cremia. It’s a very tight road, but you can make your way up (a fair way) and find spots on the side of the road to leave your car. Stunning walk, but challenging! Once there, you can go even higher! They do great food, brilliant reviews generally.

There’s lots of ways to get down the mountain from the house - some steeper than others. The best way is through Santa Anna as shown on the image.

Really lovely facility. Been using this pool for years. They always invest in new areas and keep the place well maintained. There’s sometimes the large inflatable on the lake which is such good fun. Even for adults!
