Como Driver Services has been operating for many years, offering private chauffeur services for transfers between Milan and towns on Lake Como such as Varenna.

The drive from Milan to Varenna is relatively short (around 80 kilometers) but offers a gradual transition from urban surroundings to lakeside landscapes. The journey begins along the SS36 towards Lecco, a fast road that can be busy during peak hours, before continuing along the eastern shore of the lake, where the pace changes completely. The road becomes narrower, curves follow one another, and the scenery opens up to stunning views of water and mountains.
Varenna welcomes visitors with its charming village atmosphere, colorful houses overlooking the lake, the famous Lovers’ Walk, and attractions such as Villa Monastero, making it one of the most picturesque destinations on Lake Como.
The main challenges arise in the final stretch and during peak season. Reaching Varenna by car can be difficult due to heavy traffic on the SS36 and the narrow lakeside roads, with limited parking that is often already full, especially on weekends and during the summer months.
Public transport also has its limitations: trains connect Milan directly to Varenna via a scenic route, but during busy periods they can become very crowded, making the journey less comfortable, especially with luggage. Local buses and ferries provide additional options, but they require careful planning and can involve long waiting times. Choosing our private chauffeur service eliminates all logistical concerns, allowing you to relax and enjoy the journey without worrying about parking.
With our private chauffeur-driven car service, you can travel safely and stress-free, accompanied by professional drivers who are happy to recommend places and local venues to visit. We are always available for transfers and private taxi services from Milan throughout Northern Italy: contact us for your free quote.
