Is it worth paying a premium to stay in Varenna over Bellagio/Menaggio?
Varenna kind of got popular as a cost effective option compared to Bellagio, but it seems like Varenna has gotten so popular relative to its size that it's actually MORE expensive now. We are booking kinda late (for Sept o f this year) and it looks like we can book a nice lakeview apartment in Bellagio with a pretty good location for the same price as a place in Varenna with a good location but no view or patio at all.
So is it worth giving up the view to stay in Varenna, is it that much better as a home base?
We will be staying for 4 nights after spending 5 nights in the Dolomites.
