About Varenna

Varenna's pastel waterfront and calm, sheltered waters make it one of Lake Como's easiest places to get a family out on the lake, with short trips that keep young attention spans happy. You can take the wheel yourself on a Lake Como Boat Rental — No License Needed!, or let someone else handle the navigation on a Lake Como Boat Tour on a Tullio Abbate Speedboat. Both run about an hour, which is just long enough for kids to enjoy the ride without melting down.
