Elena Rossini on Pixelfed🗄️ from my archives: Villa Monastero in Varenna, Italy 🕰️<br>
<br>
This is one of my favorite places in the whole world: <a href="https://photos.elenarossini.com/discover/tags/VillaMonastero?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VillaMonastero</a> in Varenna. It's on <a href="https://photos.elenarossini.com/discover/tags/LakeComo?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LakeComo</a>, on the Lecco side – a short boat ride from Bellagio. <br>
<br>
The gardens and structures are impossibly beautiful - and yet this town is mostly overlooked in favor of Bellagio. I love this place so much that the day after my wedding I organized a trip here with friends and family. We would have gotten married here, too, if it wasn't for all the restrictions / limited space. All this to say: if you plan to visit Lake Como, make sure to stop in Varenna (boat stop after Bellagio) and in Lenno (boat stop before Bellagio). They are hidden gems!<br>
