Como was our last destination for our Italy trip. We spent three days in Lake Como and it has now become one of my favorite places. Varenna was the town we decided to stay near for the duration of our stay. After the hustle and bustle of Rome and Florence, we wanted to spend our last few days in Italy relaxing. We stayed at a cozy little Airbnb just on the outskirts of the town. This itinerary is a quick snapshot at our short stay in Varenna. We opted for a relaxing stay, but plan on going back very soon to see more of what the region offers. If you are looking for a more adventurous experience, make sure to check out my other two Lake Como guides.
