Getting there and around
Arriving: Milan Malpensa (MXP) or Milan Linate (LIN), both about 1h15 by car to the central lake.
- Public ferries (Navigazione Laghi) link Bellagio, Varenna, Menaggio and Tremezzo every 20 to 30 minutes in season.
- Lakeside roads are narrow and parking is scarce. Most guests do fine without a car.
- Trains from Milan Centrale reach Varenna in about an hour, then take the ferry across.
- A private water taxi for 8 to 12 guests is the most fun way to get to and from the venue.
Booking rooms for your wedding group
- Most guests come in high season (May to September). Set up a room block or share hotel picks 9 to 12 months ahead, because good rooms go first.
- Keep guests in one or two areas if you can. Shared shuttles and meeting points get much easier.
- You can get around here without a car, so a central base near restaurants works well for most guests.
- Ask hotels for a group rate with no attrition penalty, a cut-off date about 30 to 60 days before the wedding, and free delivery of welcome bags.
