How to reach Villa Monastero

By train, from Milan direction Sondrio/Tirano, get off at the Varenna Esino station. From the train station, walk to the pier, and then to Piazza San Giorgio. From the Piazza, there are two options, either walk on the footbridge along the lake, or take Via Corrado Venini. 

Proceeding toward Lecco, the road becomes first Via 4 Novembre, then Via Polvani. Shortly after, you meet the entrance to Villa Monastero, almost opposite the Varenna tourist office.
