Your subject title says Manarola to Sorrento. Your question asks Manarola to Varenna. Which is it? Trenitalia does not go to Sorrento so you won't see such a schedule. Please advise.

Jim, Manarola to Varenna-Esino will take 5.0-6.0hrs and 2-4 train changes depending on the run. Unfortunately, you can't see the schedules for June 11 as Trenitalia hasn't begun refreshing their schedules which is due June 8. I just looked and they are not there. However, you can look at the schedules for 2-3 days from now to get an idea of the train runs and fares. They won't change much once the u-p-dated schedules are loaded.

Jim, One of the easiest trips will be a departure from Manarola at 10:18, arriving Varenna-Esino at 15:23 (time 5H:05M, 2 changes, current fares from €27.85). I checked using next Tuesday, as June 11 is a Tuesday. Two of the trains are Regionale, so DON'T forget to validate! The trip from Milano Centrale to Varenna is 1H:03M. You'll go through a tunnel just before arrival, so BE SURE to disembark promptly as the train only stops for about a minute. Depending on which hotel you're staying in and how much luggage you're hauling, you should be able to walk to your hotel. Happy travels!
