Varenna - Lake Como

Varenna, Lake Como Varenna is situated on Lecco’s shore between Mandello and Bellano, and overlooks the lake in the point where the three branches meet and for this reason Varenna is linked well to the major resorts on the opposite shore. It is built on a promontory near the mouth of the river Esino and it could have been a settlement dating back to the Iron Age. Varenna is a charming town, made of narrow alleys that descend to the lake, ancient houses and porches along the lake. What once was a village that lived on fishing and on the extraction of the popular black marble, today has become an important tourist congressional resort.
