Castello di Vezio, Vezio

This small castle/tower is a gem that you should not miss if you plan to visit Varenna. The site is in a high enough altitude to allow a magnificent view of the lake Como. The castle itself is very beautiful and it is decorated with eerie looking statues and medieval props. Climb to the top of the tower for the best pictures of the lake and the surrounding area. An unforgettable experience.

Horrible people run this place. I would not want to give them any money. We went there with our kids, a baby and a toddler. The staff threatened us because we couldn't get out of the place as fast as they wanted us. We had children with us!!! Unbelievable! It really was a police matter, but who wants that on their holidays. Unbelievable! Update: I had not looked at previous bad reviews and the ridiculous answers by the owner. So now I am not surprised. The first communication to us was literally: "I am closing now, I will lock you in. You can call the police. I don't care!" You can not treat people that way and think we will be nice.
