I’m so happy we decided to stay a couple of nights in Varenna, Italy. Varenna is a picturesque village that is nestled into the nooks and crannies of the Lake Como shoreline. The colorful buildings blended with the greenery of the landscape are beautifully reflected onto the lake and make for some outstanding photo opportunities.

We stayed in a beautiful little AirB&B called Tosca house. We had a private room and bath and were served a lovely breakfast every morning on a veranda with a relaxing Lake view. Highly recommend.

The area was more touristy than we had prepared for but nevertheless we loved strolling and dining along the lake. We took a beautiful hike up to Castillo di Vezio and the views from the castle were spectacular. We also took a ferry across to the town of Belagio and enjoyed walking around all the shops and restaurants. We even met a lovely couple from Holland that helped us realize that the people of this world are more alike than different.
