The Journey

1

Castello di Vezio

Perched dramatically on a promontory overlooking Varenna at the heart of Lake Como, Castello di Vezio is an ancient sentinel. Originally erected as a military outpost in the early medieval period by the Lombard queen Teodolinda, it guarded the lake and surrounding villages for over a millennium. Explore the partially restored castle, ascend the square-based watchtower via a small drawbridge for breathtaking panoramic views, and wander through one of the northernmost olive groves in the world, a testament to the area's unique microclimate. The castle offers not only a glimpse into medieval history but also a stunning vantage point to appreciate the beauty of Lake Como.
