This area of the lake is referred to as the 'Golden Triangle' (the area of water stretching between the famous towns of Bellagio, Menaggio & Varenna). These three towns, plus the fourth town of Cadenabbia, are the only towns that support car ferries that criss-cross the lake between these destinations. The main train station serving Milan is a 3 minute drive away.
There is a pebble beach a 15 min. drive away in Lierna and a sandy 'Lido' in Varenna itself and also a larger beach in Bellano. Varenna may be the most picturesque town on the lake, and features steep winding alleys lined with charming homes with flowering balconies.
