Varenna, the jewel of the east shore
Varenna is one of the most picturesque villages on Lake Como, on the east shore. Reachable from Milan in 1h15–1h30 by car via SS36, it's the perfect base for the famous "central lake triangle" (Bellagio, Menaggio, Varenna — connected by ferry in 10–15 min). A private chauffeur transfer beats the train for groups, luggage, and late-night flights.
Distances and times from Milan

Trenord train vs private transfer — honest comparison
Unlike Bellagio or Cernobbio, Varenna has a train station (Varenna-Esino). So the train is a real option. Here's the honest comparison:
| Aspect | Trenord train | Private chauffeur |
|---|---|---|
| Time | 1h–1h30 (+ walk to/from station) | 1h15–1h30 door-to-door |
| Frequency | Approx. every hour, last ~22:30 | 24/7 |
| Cost | ~€8/person Centrale–Varenna | Fixed price, competitive for 2+ pax |
| Comfort with luggage | Limited (stairs, narrow doors) | Excellent |
| Direct from airport | No (requires Milan Centrale) | Yes |
Verdict: the train works for solo budget travellers with light luggage during the daytime. The private transfer wins for everyone else.
