Village on a lake of medieval times
It is a charming and lovely village, of Roman origin, with a location from where you can admire the lake. During medieval times it was destroyed on many occassions, but after a fire in the island Comacina in the year 1169 it became one of the richest towns in Lario. The Church of San Giorgio del 1313, Romanesque, has been renovated, in the front there is a fresco showing XIV San Cristobal, and close by is the oratory of San Giovanni Battista,from the year 1000 . It may be the oldest Christian building. Here also are villas, the most important is Villa Monastero, it is amazing, headquarters of scientific conferences. I recommend the hotel Du Lac, a fantastic place to stay in this area.
It's like something out of a book, especially if you get to Varenna by going through Bellagio by ferry, and manage to admire this place from the water in all its breadth, and with the snow-covered mountains as a backdrop. Beautiful! It's an ancient and romantic villa that was built in 1823, a real treat to see in a unique place, they say that in the last century, the Lombard queen came here for her summer vacation. The place maintains the balustrades and marble columns, the terrace overlooking the lake on the water is great as well as the fireplace and rooms, each with the name of a flower, a Delightful Place (and unfortunately the price goes along with that).
