    If you have a rental car and the patience to make the 15 minute drive up the mountain, staying with Alessandro and family at C'era Una Volta is an immaculate choice for a visit to Lake Como. Varenna/Perledo is the best option in the central lake...

Company info

I'm Alessandro and I'm 50 years old, I'm originally from Lake Como but I worked for many years in Thailand and Indonesia, I like traveling and meeting new people.

Property info

B&B C'era una volta is a house built in the mid-18th century and located in a small village above Varenna, with a magnificent lake view. The B&B can be reached from Varenna by car or taxi in about 15 minutes or by bus, but buses are not frequent and on Sundays they are totally absent therefore we suggest our customers to have their own car to get around or to reach the lake. Varenna is the gateway to visit all of Lake Como.
