Varenna Travel Forum

We are traveling in June 2009. We will come from Paris to Milan and train on to Varenna. Could someone give an approximate lenght of time form Milan to Varenna? Hours or say 45 minutes ? Is there a guide to research re bed and breakfast in Varenna or apartment?? We hope to make our reservations in the very near future.

We will arrive in Varenna on Saturday, March 22, 2008, and would like recommendations of good, reasonably priced restuarants or bistros or cafes in the vicinity of the Duomo. We would like to walk to the restuarant and to have a place we could call "home" for the 4 days, 3 nights we are there. We enjoy very much having a familiar place to eat while we are on trips.

We enjoy healthy dishes made with fresh vegetables and local ingredients. The simplier the better. We would like to have a selection of main courses in the 5-10 euro range, if possible.

We really appreciate any suggestions.

Also, we would like to locate a grocer.

Thank you very much.

Does anybody know some details about weather in Varenna. I should stay there for 10 days from 18-28 July 2006. I couldn't find at any site probably because Varenna is too small place. The closest place I found weather details for is Como. Is it OK? Does it matches weather in Varenna?

Hello all, Arriving 20/5 and departing 24/5. Anyone interested in a get together? Thanks

I am looking for an apartment...walkingf distance to town and ferry for July 8-15...got any suggestions??....Thanks

Can anyone tell me the best time of year to visit Varenna (i.e. weather, crowds, etc.)

Does the ferry from Varenna to Menaggio carry autos?
We are planning a day trip from Lierna to Lugano and would like to go thru Varenna, ferry to Menaggio, drive to Lugano, spend the day and return at early evening.
I see the rate schedule and time schedule but can not tell if there is a rate per car? per person plus the car?
Can you help. We arrive early October.
Thank you.

We will be getting off the train in Varenna and going to the ferry stop to take ferry to Bellagio. How far is the train station from the ferry - we do not wish to walk - is there a bus or a taxi - we will be arriving on a Sunday.
