Some Lake Como villages you pass through. Varenna is one you slow down for. Stacked in ochre and terracotta above a small fishing harbour on the lake’s quieter eastern shore, it has kept the shape of the medieval fishing town it always was \u2014 narrow stepped lanes, a waterfront walk barely wide enough for two, and gardens that spill down to the water. It rewards the traveller who wants to feel Lake Como rather than tick it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esto es Varenna, d\u00f3nde se encuentra y las cinco cosas que m\u00e1s valen la pena una vez que bajes del ferry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una breve historia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Varenna es antigua, m\u00e1s antigua que la mayor\u00eda de sus famosos vecinos. La tradici\u00f3n local data su fundaci\u00f3n en 769 d. C.<\/strong>, cuando creci\u00f3 como una comunidad de pescadores en la escarpada orilla oriental. Durante m\u00e1rmol de Varenna<\/em> que a\u00fan se puede apreciar en sus iglesias y portales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Su momento decisivo lleg\u00f3 en 1169<\/strong>. Cuando el pueblo insular de Isola Comacina fue destruido en la larga guerra entre Como y Mil\u00e1n, muchos de sus refugiados se reasentaron aqu\u00ed, trayendo consigo sus lealtades y sus enemistades: Varenna se puso del lado de Mil\u00e1n contra Como, y lo pag\u00f3 cuando la ciudad rival saque\u00f3 el pueblo. Ese pasado estratificado todav\u00eda se muestra en el pueblo: la colina en ruinas Castillo de Vezio<\/strong> observando el agua, las iglesias rom\u00e1nicas y el n\u00facleo defensivo de callejones estrechos que apenas ha cambiado en 800 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donde se sienta Varenna en el lago<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Varenna se encuentra en el la orilla oriental del lago de Como<\/strong>, in the Province of Lecco, roughly at the point where the lake’s three arms meet. It sits almost directly enfrente de Bellagio y Menaggio<\/strong>, which is what makes it so useful: the three form the lake’s central ferry triangle, each a short hop from the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That position gives Varenna two things its rivals don’t. It catches the sol del atardecer<\/strong> full on its fa\u00e7ades, and \u2014 facing west across open water \u2014 it offers one of the finest sunset outlooks on the lake. It’s about 20 km northwest of Lecco and an hour or so by train from Milan, which also makes it the easiest of the classic villages to reach without a car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las 5 mejores cosas que ver en Varenna<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Villa Monastero y su jard\u00edn bot\u00e1nico<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The village’s signature sight. Founded as a Cistercian monastery in the 12th century and later turned into a private residence, Villa Monastero<\/strong> is really about its garden \u2014 a two-kilometre ribbon of terraces running along the shoreline, planted with cypress, citrus, agave and palms, and studded with statues and follies. The house museum lets you see how the lake’s grand families lived. If gardens are your reason for coming to the lake, read our guide to the las mejores villas y jardines en el lago de Como<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Villa Cipressi’s terraced gardens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Justo al lado, Villa Cipressi<\/strong> tumbles down to the water in a series of romantic terraces named for the cypresses that frame them. It works as a garden visit and, for many travellers, as somewhere to stay \u2014 a rare chance to sleep inside one of Varenna’s historic villas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Castillo de Vezio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Una subida empinada pero corta por encima del pueblo te lleva a Castillo de Vezio<\/strong>, una peque\u00f1a torre de vigilancia medieval con una demostraci\u00f3n de cetrer\u00eda y, lo que es m\u00e1s importante, un panorama<\/strong> que abarca el Bellagio, la cuenca central y las monta\u00f1as que se divisan m\u00e1s all\u00e1. Ve por las vistas; qu\u00e9date por la tranquilidad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. El casco antiguo y la Passeggiata degli Innamorati<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

La mejor forma de conocer Varenna es simplemente paseando. Dedica una hora a recorrer las callejuelas escalonadas de la antiguo barrio de pescadores<\/strong>, y a continuaci\u00f3n sigue las instrucciones de Paseo de los Enamorados<\/strong> \u2014 the “Lovers’ Walk” \u2014 a slender waterside path on stilts that curves along the lake between the ferry pier and the harbour. It is, deservedly, one of the most photographed corners of Lake Como.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Fiumelatte, the “river of milk”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On the village’s southern edge runs Fiumelatte<\/strong>, con unos 250 metros, es uno de los r\u00edos m\u00e1s cortos de Italia. Solo fluye de primavera a oto\u00f1o, con un caudal r\u00e1pido y de aguas blancas \u2014de ah\u00ed su nombre\u2014 antes de desaparecer en el lago. Su aparici\u00f3n estacional ha desconcertado a los visitantes durante siglos; incluso Leonardo da Vinci lo mencion\u00f3. Un breve sendero se\u00f1alizado conduce hasta el manantial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planeando tu visita<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Llegando.<\/strong> Varenna’s ferry pier connects it directly to Bellagio and Menaggio on the central triangle, and passenger boats run up and down the lake all summer. If you’re arriving by train from Milan or Lecco, the station sits just above the village. For how the ferries, passes and car ferries actually work, see our Gu\u00eda completa de los transbordadores del lago de Como<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lo mejor para.<\/strong> Couples, garden lovers, and anyone wanting a calmer base than Bellagio \u2014 Varenna keeps its evenings to itself once the day boats leave. If you’re weighing where to base yourself, our guide to the Las mejores localidades y lugares donde alojarse en el lago de Como<\/a> los compara uno al lado del otro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cu\u00e1ndo ir.<\/strong> Las villas y Fiumelatte son estacionales, por lo que finales de primavera y principios de oto\u00f1o son el momento ideal para disfrutar de jardines abiertos y menos multitudes; m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n sobre el momento oportuno en la mejor \u00e9poca para visitar el lago de Como<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cerca.<\/strong> Crucen el agua hacia Bellagio<\/a> y Menaggio<\/a> para completar el tri\u00e1ngulo central, o naveguen hacia el norte hasta Bellano<\/a> for its dramatic gorge. Varenna also earns its place among the lake’s quieter corners \u2014 see where else to escape the crowds in our joyas ocultas del lago de Como<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Varenna pide poco y da mucho: un pueblo que puedes ver en un d\u00eda pero querr\u00e1s m\u00e1s tiempo, y el tipo de atardecer lento y luminoso sobre el agua que la gente viene al lago de Como esperando encontrar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
