What a pleasure to explore Varenna and the surrounding beautiful landscape of Varenna with the areas most well known guide Nadia and her trusted companion, her dog Thea. The 6 hour tour passed in no time at all aided of course by Nadia's expertise and in-depth knowledge and of course the stunning scenery. Nadia's english is excellent so i did not miss out on any of the numerous facts and historical stories she had to tell us all. Our day started with a brief introduction of the itinary as well as a historical narrative insight into Varenna and the area of Lake Como - Thereafter our glorious day began - a gentle stroll around Varenna before the gentle ascent to the Castle of Vezio (Castello Di Vezio). What can i say, just the most amazing views from this area and with Nadia's commentary it was as if we were being taken back in time as she relayed the many happenings of a bygone era of many centuries ago. A light lunch of local cheeses & meats before we were off once more hitting the trail, this time in the direction of Fiumelate and its famous river that comes out of the mountain. On our way Nadia surprised us with a lovely little detour which was a delight, a quick, very manageable ascent off the main trail led us to a small natural terrace that offered additional breath-taking panaramic views where she informed us writers and artists alike had spent their time here inspired. After this it was off to the Sorgente Del Fiumelatte - The source of the river. Being a hot summers day the cool air rising from the fast flower river was refreshing indeed. After here we made our way back in the direction of Varenna this time to visit the immaculate gardens of Villa Monastero and Villa Cipressi an absolute paradise. I have been forutnate enough to have visited Villa Monastero previously and i will again it is an area of beauty that pulls you in time and time again. As for Villa Cipressi you may well see me sitting on one of the benches there reading my book or just gazing out to the vast expanse of Lake Como - It's a garden of relaxation and calm. The tour was over and it was Nadia's kind and warm approach that made this a memorable day indeed. If you are in Italy it's a 10/10 MUST to go on one of Nadia's many excursions she offers. You will not be dissapointed!!
