[Italy🇮🇹] A fairytale-like view! Lake Como - Varenna

~Varenna~ 🌸 Spectacular lakeside views and colorful townscapes Located near the center of the lake, the turquoise water and the green mountains stand out in vivid detail. The lakeside promenade lined with pastel-colored buildings is as beautiful as a postcard. 🏘️ Medieval village with an old charm Narrow cobblestone streets continue like a maze, and there are also historic churches (San Giovanni Battista and San Giorgio). Just taking a walk while immersed in the medieval atmosphere will fill your soul. 🌿 Villas of art and greenery - Monastero & Cipressi • Villa Monastero: A former monastery turned mansion. The botanical gardens that stretch along the lakeside for about 2km are impressive, teeming with roses, ferns, and exotic trees. • Villa Cipressi: Enjoy the terraced gardens and the magnificent lake view, which makes for great photos. Cipressi's "Gate of Paradise" photo spot is also popular on social media. 🌊 Relaxing time on the lake Swim at the pebble beach "Lido di Varenna" or enjoy paddling in a kayak.
