Lake Como

Varenna

Charming · better value

The romantic eastern-shore village facing Bellagio, tiny and photogenic, with a direct train station to Milan and a year-round community. Often the discovery buyers make after a season or two, beautiful, well-connected, and markedly more affordable than the western shore.

Best for: those wanting beauty and rail access at a gentler price
