A Dreamy Day in Varenna

Need a breather from the city sights of Milan? Looking to recharge your spirits? How does a pretty tranquil little town – on the shore of Lake Como, with spectacular mountain and lake views, verdant gardens overlooking the lake, quaint narrow streets (and not many tourists) – sound? On a sunny weekend morning in June, our destination was the little lakeside town of Varenna. This town, on the shore of Lake Como, turned out to be a fantastic visual treat.
